Question

Accepted Answer

Emulsion polymerization variables and their impact on film properties

Monomer concentration affects the molecular weight and viscosity of the polymer.
Initiator concentration influences the rate of polymerization and the final degree of polymerization.
Surfactant concentration affects the particle size and stability of the emulsion.
Temperature affects the reaction rate and the size of the polymer particles.
pH level influences the stability and particle size distribution of the emulsion.
Stirring speed affects the particle size and the rate of heat transfer during polymerization.
