A comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of emulsion polymerization and related
processes is presented with the object of providing theoretical and practical understanding …

The miniemulsion process allows the formation of complex polymer nanoparticles and the
encapsulation of widely varying materials into a polymer shell (see examples) …

The subject of miniemulsion polymerization is reviewed. The approach taken is one that
combines a review of the technology with historical and tutorial aspects. Rather than …

Miniemulsion polymerization facilitates the synthesis complex materials that cannot be
produced otherwise. These materials have a broad range of potential applications including …

Waterborne polyurethane− acrylic hybrid nanoparticles for application as pressure-sensitive
adhesives (PSAs) were prepared by one-step miniemulsion polymerization. The addition of …

Hybrid polymer latexes will be defined here as colloidal dispersions in which at least two
distinct polymers exist within each particle. The two polymers may form a homogenous …

Hybrid waterborne alkyd–acrylic dispersions with solid content of 40%, free from any
surfactant and exempt of any organic solvent, were successfully synthesized by a melt co …

The polymerization and properties of environmentally friendly waterborne binders for wood
coatings were studied. Conjugated and non-conjugated tall oil fatty acids-based alkyd resins …

Emulsion polymerization allows the creation of aqueous dispersions of polymer
nanoparticles in the 50–500 nm size range, and these products (synthetic latexes) have …

Waterborne acrylic‐alkyd nanocomposites are expected to combine the positive properties
of alkyd resins and acrylic polymers. In this work, the kinetics of the miniemulsion …
