Miniemulsions of styrene and butyl acrylate with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the surfactant and hexadecane (HDE) and cetyl alcohol (HDL) as cosurfactants were prepared under high-speed stirring or ultrasonification. Results indicate that the stability of miniemulsions produced with HDE is more s

## Abstract Miniemulsion stability of threeβcomponent disperse phase systems comprising styrene [ST (1)], methyl methacrylate [MMA (2)], and stearyl methacrylate [SMA (3)] was investigated. The Ostwald ripening rate (Ο) increases with increasing MMA content in the monomer mixture. The empirical equ
## Abstract Miniemulsion copolymerization of styrene/__n__βbutyl acrylate was investigated as a means of encapsulating hydrophilic titanium dioxide (TiO~2~) in a filmβforming polymer. Dispersion studies of the TiO~2~ were first carried out to determine the choice of stabilizer, its concentration, a
The effects of 2-hydroxyalkyl methacrylates (HEMA and HPMA) on the styrene miniemulsion polymerizations stabilized by SDS/lauryl methacrylate (LMA) or SDS/stearyl methacrylate (SMA) were investigated. A mixed mode of particle nucleation (monomer droplet nucleation and homogeneous nucleation) is oper
