Publisher's Synopsis
This monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the radical processes involved in the preparation of polymers and copolymers in disperse systems, emphasizing in particular polymerizations in emulsions.;The authors provide an account of the problems associated with the radical processes leading to the preparation of polymers in aqueous and organic disperse systems, highlighting the kinetics and mechanisms of radical polymerization of unsaturated monomers in emulsion systems. Attention is also paid to the analysis of special cases of polymerization in aqueous and non-aqueous media, suspension polymerization, and to the most recent trends and advances in these areas.
