I wish it had been available when I first started using the technique. he authors have done an excellent job in updating each topic to reflect the advances made in the past decade. The authors for individual chapters have been chosen well, representing a broad selection of academic and industrial experts who are acknowledged leaders in their fields of study.
The various chapters, written by different authors, have been well-coordinated to avoid unnecessary repetition. The book is clearly written without any assumption that readers are versed in emulsion polymerization, and it is apparent that the scope and level of detail have been carefully thought out to concentrate on key areas of interest for people learning about the field. ts comparative conciseness (coupled with extensive references) makes it an excellent source for learning the key principles of emulsion polymerization. Industrial practitioners seeking to teach themselves about emulsion polymerization should find it strikes a good balance between depth and breadth. This book will make an excellent graduate level textbook and a valuable reference book for advanced undergraduate courses in polymer science. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. The comprehensive and straightforward coverage will also ensure it is an important resource for advanced courses in emulsion polymerisation.
Written for research chemists, technologists and engineers in the polymer, fine and specialty chemicals industries, and in university or government laboratories, this book will be particularly valuable to those early on in their careers. In the development of industrial processes, coupling that understanding with everyday practice can be a further difficult step, so the book emphasises a clear, comprehensive and straightforward discussion to illustrate how the principles relate to practical application. By carefully explaining the principles of the reaction, based on well-designed experimental investigation, Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation provides a practical and intuitive explanation of emulsion polymerisation. Successful industrial application relies on understanding and controlling those properties. In addition, when combined with novel polymerisation mechanisms the process can give rise to a range of polymer products with particularly useful properties.Įmulsion polymerisation is a complex process, governed by the interplay of both chemical and physical properties including polymerisation kinetics and dispersion stability. The drive to develop environmentally benign production methods for polymers has resulted in widespread development and implementation of the emulsion polymerisation technique. Controlled radical polymerisation is used in aiding encapsulation of inorganic particles like pigment particles and clay platelets.Emulsion polymerisation produces high value polymers in a low cost, environmentally friendly process. Another area that is rapidly progressing is the application of controlled radical polymerisation in emulsion polymerization. The second edition of this book includes a new chapter on morphology of latex particles, a rapidly progressing area where modelling the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of phase separation and morphology has developed into a mature and powerful tool to predict and control morphology of latex particles.
By carefully explaining the principles of the reaction, based on well-designed experimental investigation, the book explains how the principles relate to practical application. For those working in industry, coupling theory with everyday practice can be difficult. Summary: "Chemistry and Technology of Emulsion Polymerisation 2e provides a practical and intuitive explanation of emulsion polymerization, in combination with both conventional and controlled radical polymerization.
