Emulsion Polymerization In Continuous Reactors

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Polymer Colloids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 67-68))

Abstract

Polymer colloids are produced in batch, semi-batch and continuous reactors of a wide variety of designs. All of these reactors have assets and liabilities and every commercial process design involves compromises among concerns for product quality, manufacturing simplicity, costs, and potential future alternatives. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide information on continuous emulsion polymerization reactors that will help the reader to make rational decisions on the possible use of such reactors in the commercial production of polymer latexes. A second purpose is to demonstrate the utility of continuous reactors as a tool for studying reaction kinetics.
