Abstract

AbstractInorganic solids can be used for drop stabilisation in suspension polymerisation and, in some cases, the particle size can affect the drop stability significantly. Three theoretical models, each based on different theories for this drop stabilisation by inorganic solids, have been formulated. Experiments have been carried out using a wax model. These experiments were similar to those described previously [Brooks, B. W., Bygate. F. & Lane, A. C, Brit. Polym. J., 20 (1988) 19‐24; Brooks, B. W., Trans. I. Chem. E., 57 (1979) 210‐12]. Particulate calcium phosphate, in different sizes, was used as the stabiliser. The theoretical models have been compared with the experimental results and it was found that two of the models bore some resemblance to the experimental results.
