Styrene ab initio emulsion polymerizations were conducted at 70ะC 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

The seeded batch emulsion copolymerization of styrene and acrylic acid was studied. The polymerization rate was investigated with pH as the main parameter. Some attempts were made to evaluate the average number of growing chains per particle during Stage II of the emulsion polymerization process. Th
The emulsion polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) was carried out in a semibatch reactor using a chemical initiator (ammonium persulfate) and a fluorinated surfactant (FC-143). The effects of the reaction condition were investigated though the polymerization rate, molecular weight of polytetr
Heterogeneous film-forming latexes were prepared using two-stage, seeded emulsion polymerization. The polymerization was performed in a calorimetric reactor with a control unit that monitored the reaction rate and controlled the charging rate of the monomers. Three types of styrene seed latexes were
## Abstract Statistical copolymers of styrene and acrylonitrile, covering a wide range of compositions, were synthetized by emulsion polymerization conducted to both low and high conversion. The weightโaverage molecular weights of the copolymers were determined by light scattering and correlated wi
