Optimization of a semicontinuous emulsion polymerization reaction is carried out using a mathematical model derived from first principles to represent the process. Iterative Dynamic Programming (IDP), being a straightforward procedure that allows the implementation of optimization constraints, is an attractive tool to optimize highly complex and nonlinear equation systems such as those that are...

Hybrid latex particles combine the unique properties of inorganic nano/micro with inherent polymers, exhibiting tremendous potential for a variety applications. Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in design and preparation hybrid well-defined size, structure morphology. Due to its simplicity, versatility environmental friendliness, situ (Pickering) emulsion polymerization has been...

Polystyrene-silica core-shell nanocomposite particles are successfully prepared via one-step Pickering emulsion polymerization. Possible mechanisms of Pickering emulsion polymerization are addressed in the synthesis of polystyrene-silica nanocomposite particles using 2,2-azobis(2-methyl-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)propionamide (VA-086) and potassium persulfate (KPS) as the initiator. Motivated by potenti...

Dispersion of liquid–liquid systems is commonly applied in industrial processes such as extraction, suspension, and emulsion polymerization. This article describes the influence of the quality of emulsification on the course and outcome of a batch-emulsion polymerization of styrene and vinyl acetate. From visualization experiments and polymerizations in combination with reaction calorimetric st...

in this research, the tacticity and microstructure of polyvinyl chloride (pvc) were studied through back bone methylene and methine carbons and protons splitting by carbon (13c nmr), proton (1h nmr) and two-dimensional (2dnmr) nulear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in deuterated etrahydrofuran.polyvinyl chloride was synthesized by emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride (vcm) under pressure t...

Hollow polymeric nanocapsules have attracted great interest in recent years due to their broad applications in controlledrelease carriers, catalysis, nanoreactors, and encapsulation of guest molecules. Polymeric nanocapsules have been typically fabricated via the selfassembly of block copolymers, 5 polymerization within lipid vesicles, emulsion polymerization, 14 and the sacrificial core-templa...
