Compartmentalisation in miniemulsions: Exploration of compartmentalisation and some interesting end-uses

摘要

Infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were used to demonstrate that miniemulsions of relatively hydrophobic monomers are compartmentalised during the reaction. Experiments with blends of miniemulsions of different composition revealed that no mass transfer takes place between droplets of different composition in the same reactor. In addition, it was shown that it is possible to make high solids content, low viscosity latexes with bimodal particle size and molecular weight distributions because of this property.
