higher solid contents (20 % and 40 %) nanocomposites of poly (styrene-co-butyl acrylate) including higher content of cloisite 30b (7 wt% and 10 wt %) were prepared via miniemulsion polymerization. stability of the final latexes proved outstanding combination of polymerization procedure and surfactants. morphological studies revealed by tem, sax and xrd showed three structures of core-shell, arm...

Various types of controlled/living radical polymerizations, or using the IUPAC recommended term, reversible-deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP), conducted inside nano-sized reaction loci are considered in a unified manner, based on the polymerization rate expression, Rp = kp[M]K[Interm]/[Trap]. Unique miniemulsion polymerization kinetics of RDRP are elucidated on the basis of the followi...

An innovative enzymatic polycondensation of dicarboxylic acids and dialcohols in aqueous polymerization media using free immobilized lipases was developed. Various parameters (type lipases, temperature, pH, stirring type rate, monomer carbon chain length) the an oil-in-water (o/w) miniemulsion (>80% water) were evaluated. The best results for achieved with equimolar concentration (0.5 M) oct...
