Abstract

The general features of inverse microemulsion polymerization at the present state of knowledge are presented. The influence of various water-soluble monomers on the structural properties of the polymerizable microemulsions is analyzed and an optimization of the process is proposed. The best conditions correspond to the polymerization of monomers in bicontinuous microemulsions characterized by very low interfacial tensions, which subsequently leads to clear and stable microlatices of polymers with high molecular weights. The potential applications of the process are discussed.
