Abstract
AbstractThe traditional theoretical approach to emulsion polymerization is extended to include effects due to the size of each polymer latex particle. Specific account can thus be taken of the particle size distribution in considering the growth of the colloid. Coupled partial differential equations are derived to describe the system and shown to reduce to the conventional Smith‐Ewart equations under certain limits. Solutions are presented for simple models for the emulsion polymerization of styrene and vinyl acetate.
