| Popis: | Microemulsions can be used as reaction media for free-radical polymerization of monomers. Polymerization, initiated in various ways (thermal, photochemical, or γ-irradiation), occurs in monomer reservoirs encapsulated in the nano-size space of microemulsion structures, producing thermodynamically stable nano-size latexes ( 106) polymers. Millions of tons of polymer microlatexes are thus produced annually, some notable examples being butadiene–styrene copolymers, poly(vinyl acetate), poly(vinyl chloride), acrylate ester copolymers, polyacrylamide and derivatives. These latexes are used in diverse fields including coatings, adhesives, binders, paints, flocculants, and rheological modifiers, while many novel applications, such as in separation technology, catalysis, and drug delivery, are being explored. |
