## Abstract The effect of the geometrical and operational parameters on the mixing characteristics of a Couette–Taylor vortex flow reactor (CTVFR) were investigated and were correlated with the same parameters by using the tank‐in‐series model. Continuous emulsion polymerization of styrene was cond

✦ Synopsis
The usability of the gradient force trapping technique for observing Raman scattering from single droplets during the emulsion polymerization process of styrene is examined. We are able to follow the progress of the polymerization reaction by characterizing spectroscopically the different kinds of droplets. By means of this technique Raman investigations are possible to describe reactions in emulsion droplets without disturbing effects.

Styrene ab initio emulsion polymerizations were conducted at 70ЊC in an automated reaction calorimeter. Two polymerizations were performed, one above and the other below the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant, thus ensuring differing polymerization kinetics between the two: the s
## Abstract **Summary:** 2,2,6,6‐Tetramethylpiperidinyl‐1‐oxy (TEMPO)‐mediated radical polymerization of styrene in aqueous miniemulsion at 125 °C using sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and poly(vinyl alcohol), respectively, as colloidal stabilizers has been investigated. The particle size had a dram
