Effect of impurities on emulsion polymerization: Case I kinetics Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractThe effect of water‐ and monomer‐soluble impurities on the kinetics of emulsion polymerization for Case I systems (e.g., vinyl acetate and vinyl choride) was investigated. Model predictions on the effect of these impurities on polymer particle nucleation and growth rate are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with experimental results. The effect of monomer‐soluble impurities is shown to be quite different from that observed in Case II emulsion polymerization systems.
