Polymer Colloids: Science and Technology of Latex Systems (ACS Symposium Series)

This volume spans the field of polymer colloids. Many types of latexes are discussed, including: homopolymers, copolymers, and natural polymers, those made with reactive surfactants and polymeric stabilizers, surface-modified, hybrids and blends. A variety of polymerization processes are described varying from batch to semicontinuous, free radical, and controlled free radical. Dispersion and suspensions are also presented.
