Polymer colloids are complex materials that have the potential to be used in a vast array of
applications. One of the main reasons for their continued growth in commercial use is the …

Conventional emulsion polymerization (EP) is a process via free radicals whose driving
force for its development has been its versatility to generate polymer colloids with ad hoc …

The properties of waterborne polymer dispersions synthesized by emulsion radical
polymerization are influenced by reactions in both the aqueous medium and the growing …

Kinetic aspects of the vinyl acetate ab initio batch emulsion polymerization using poly (vinyl
alcohol) to produce polymer nanoparticles are studied. The initial nucleation step is followed …

The Smoluchowski's coagulation rate coefficient (k cS) has been used for decades
notwithstanding its predictions are not always consistent with experimental data. In this work …

Molecular dynamics simulation is a powerful tool in discovering nucleation phenomena. In a
simulation of silver nucleation under a diffusion limited condition, the OPLS-AA force field is …
