Though emulsion polymerization has been commercialized for more than half a century,
some important aspects like particle nucleation, coagulation, etc. are still not well …

The interest in emulsion polymerization is strong because it offers the possibility of
producing products with special properties not easily produced by other types of …

Explaining principles essential for the interpretation of data and understanding the real
meaning of the result, this work describes carious methods and techniques used to …

The versatility of the emulsion copolymerization reaction and the ability to control the
properties of the final latices have led to rapid expansion both in the quantity of …

The increasingly more aggressive global competition for the production of higher-quality
products at lower costs, along with a general trend away from new capital investments in the …

The increasing demand for the production of polymers with prespecified properties has
placed great emphasis on the development of accurate and robust instruments for the on …

The principal difficulties in achieving good control of polymerization reactors are related to
inadequate on-line measurement, a lack of understanding of the dynamics of the process …

The main goals in operating a polymer reactor are high yield (productivity), high product
quality, and safe operation (of course, within some overall economic framework). These …

Polymerization reactors usually exhibit complex nonlinear dynamic behavior because of the
complexity of the physicochemical interactions and the kinetics of the polymerization …

This paper is a survey of recent published works on the dynamic and steady state modeling
of emulsion homo‐and copolymerization in batch, semicontinuous, and continuous latex …
