Resumen:

In dispersed-phase polymerization processes, one or more of the ingredients may be partially or completely insoluble in the continuous phase. Depending on the solubility of the ingredients (monomer and initiator, mainly) in the continuous phase and the droplet/particle size range of the dispersed droplets or particles, the processes are classified as dispersion, precipitation, suspension, or emulsion polymerizations. This chapter explains the differences and major issues associated with these processes. In particular, the chapter provides the fundamentals of the emulsion polymerization process as well as an overview of related subjects such as particle morphology, control of particle size dispersity. The related subjects also include characterization of latexes, micro- and miniemulsion polymerization, controlled free-radical polymerization (CRP) in aqueous systems, and applications of polymer latexes. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
