Monomer Distribution and Transport in Miniemulsion Copolymerization

  • Chapter
Future Directions in Polymer Colloids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 138))

Abstract

Miniemulsions are oil-in water emulsions prepared using a mixed emulsifier system comprised by an ionic surfactant and a cosurfactant, such as a fatty alcohol or a long chain alkane1. The two main characteristics of the miniemulsions are their good stability and droplet size, ranging from 50 to 400 nm in diameter. From the latter characteristic arises the term miniemulsion, to distinguish them from the conventional emulsions or macroemulsions with droplets larger than 1 µm in diameter and from the microemulsions with droplets less than 0.1 µm in diameter.
