Abstract: | Particle formation in polymerization of styrene induced within two stratified layers of a monomer and water containing an initiator was studied in the absence of emulsifiers and stirring. A polymerization-induced decrease of interfacial surface tension was observed. The particle size distribution was characterized by dynamic light scattering during polymerization. The results confirm particle nucleation through spontaneous emulsification process. |
