Principles and Applications of Emulsion Polymerization by Chorng-Shyan Chern

by Chorng-Shyan Chern

This title includes up-to-date coverage of methods of emulsion polymerization. This book provides a comprehensive reference on emulsion polymerization methods, focusing on the fundamental mechanisms and kinetics of each process, as well as how they can be applied to the manufacture of environmentally friendly polymeric materials. Topics covered conventional emulsion polymerization; miniemulsion polymerization; microemulsion polymerization; industrial emulsion polymerization processes (primarily the semibatch and continuous reactions systems); the role of various colloidal phenomena in emulsion polymerization; important end-use properties of emulsion polymer (latex) products; information on industrial applications in paints, coatings, adhesives, paper and board; and, more.This is a hands-on reference for graduate students and professionals in polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science who are involved in research on coatings, adhesives, rubber, latex, paints, finishes, and other materials that can be created using various methods of emulsion polymerization.

[Somonjon Sattori · Rating 5 out of 5]

good book for a graduate of chemistry/polymers studies. For people involved in industrial production of polymers, it may be a little difficult. And most part are not applicable in commercial production. Good read though
