Abstract

The effect of the physicochemical parameters of the process on the rate of polymerization of styrene in an emulsion is considered. The values of surface tension at the styrene-water interface are determined. The values of the excess pressure inside the styrene drop in the emulsion, created by surface tension forces, and the absolute pressure in the emulsion drop at various external pressures of the process are calculated. The dependence of the absolutepressure in an emulsion drop on the drop size and temperature is determined. The dependences of the rate of styrene polymerization upon thermal initiation on the absolute pressure inside the emulsion drop are revealed.
