Emulsion polymerization
Emulsion polymerization is widely used to produce polymers in the form of emulsions, such as paints and floor polishes. It also used to polymerize many water insoluble vinyl monomers, such as styrene and vinyl chloride. In emulsion polymerization, an agent emulsifies the monomers. Emulsifying agents should have a finite solubility. They are either ionic, as in the case of alkylbenzene sulfonates, or nonionic, like polyvinyl alcohol.
Water is extensively used to produce emulsion polymers with a sodium stearate emulsifier. The emulsion concentration should allow micelles of large surface areas to form. The micelles absorb the monomer molecules activated by an initiator (such as a sulfate ion radical SO•4–).
X-ray and light scattering techniques show that the micelles start to increase in size by absorbing the macromolecules. For example, in the free radical polymerization of styrene, the micelles increased to 250 times their original size.
