Abstract:It is demonstrated that CCT‐mediated emulsion polymerization can successfully be carried out in a PSPC. Proper molecular weight control is achieved with only minor quantities of a cobalt(II) complex, illustrating the robustness and scalability of CCT. Despite the successful implementation of CCT in the PSPC, differences in the course of the polymerization and the final latex properties (in terms of the PSD/MWD) for batchwise and PSPC operation are observed. Backmixing occurs to some extend in the PSPC, which i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
