✦ Synopsis
Abstract
RAFT inverse miniemulsion polymerization is demonstrated for the first time as an alternate way to synthesize hydrophilic polymer latexes. The kinetic behavior of inverse RAFT miniemulsion polymerization of acrylamide is similar to that observed in aqueous RAFT solution polymerization. A water‐soluble initiator provides better control than a lipophilic initiator in inverse RAFT miniemulsion polymerization under the conditions used here.

## Abstract The polymerization kinetics of a RAFT‐mediated radical polymerization inside submicron particles (30 < __D__~p~ < 300 nm) is considered. When the time fraction of active radical period, __ϕ__~A~, is larger than ca. 1%, the polymerization rate increases with reducing particle size, as fo
The polymerization of acrylamide in inverse suspension is described and compared with polymerization in solution. The influences of various factors upon the molecular weight of the polymer were studied, viz. the concentration of initiator, the procedure of aqueous phase addition, the nature and conc
## Abstract The molecular weight distribution formed in a RAFT polymerization conducted inside submicron particles (__D__~p~ < 300 nm) is considered. For small particles, the MWD at low to middle conversion might be rather broad because of the large differences in MWDs formed in different polymer p
