Publisher's Synopsis
This thoroughly updated version of the text on emulsion polymerization reflects important advances in the field. While a rigorous quantitative treatment for key results is given, the revised text contains only the physical import and final equation in the body of the text, with all mathematical details now given in appendices, which greatly increases the readability of the text. It gives the reader qualitative understanding, mechanistic knowledge and some mathematical, physical and technical tools to enable them to understand and improve the generic process of emulsion polymerization, to see the processes controlling the production and performance common systems and to carry out their own investigations. The text is intended for graduate courses, as well as for researchers in the pure and applied aspects of the area wanting to understand and investigate their own systems of interest.
