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 …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a widely used synthetic polymer that is made by
hydrolysis of poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc). A significant challenge in the production of well …

Recently, the food packaging industry has focused on developing an eco-friendly and
sustainable food packaging system. This study describes the effect of beeswax on the …

This work aims at synthesizing tailor-made poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl acetate)(PVA)
amphiphilic copolymers, obtained by alcoholysis of poly (vinyl acetate)(PVAc) that could …

A multiscale modeling description of free-radical polymerization processes is presented. The
polymerization process is described at the macroscale by coupling the Fokker-Planck …

Self-stabilized precipitation (2SP) polymerization provides a new way for the high-value
utilization of substantial olefin fractions in the petrochemical industry. However, the …

Association between poly (vinyl alcohol‐co‐vinyl acetate) copolymer (PVA) and sodium
dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was studied experimentally and theoretically. It was found that, for the …

The solutions available for the well‐known Smith–Ewart recurrence equation (assuming size
monodispersity) for calculating the average number of radicals per particle (n¯) do not …

The dependence of the number of particles N p as a function of the surfactant concentration
[S] is investigated for the step polymerization of dithiol-diene emulsions. A sigmoidal curve …

Poly (vinyl acetate) nanoparticles 50±20 nm in diameter were synthesized by emulsion
polymerization using poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as stabilizer, loaded with eugenol and …
