Abstract
This article is an overview of a novel polymerization technique known as admicellar polymerization (ADPM). ADPM is known as a “surface analogue” of emulsion polymerization, and it consists of three main steps that include (1) admicelle formation, (2) adsolubilization, and (3) polymerization. This review encompasses all the applications of ADPM in the field of textiles. ADPM has been used mainly for finishing of textiles, e.g., for achieving flame retardancy, UV protection, water repellency, etc. It has also been used for improving the adhesion of natural fibers used for the reinforcement of polymer matrices. It was observed that though an extensive and constructive research work has been conducted at laboratory level to understand ADPM process and explore its applications, its industrial acceptance in textiles has not been reported yet. Scope for further research has also been discussed in this review article.
