Heterophase polymerization is a century-old technology with a wide
range of relevant industrial applications, including coatings,
adhesives, rubbers, and many other specialized biomedical and
high-performance materials. However, due to its multiscale
complexity, it still remains a challenging research topic. It is a
broad field covering all heterogeneous polymerization processes
that result in polymer dispersions. Its technical realizations
comprise emulsion polymerization, dispersion polymerization,
suspension polymerization, miniemulsion polymerization,
microemulsion polymerization, and others. This book is devoted to
the science and technology of heterophase polymerization,
considering it a generic term as well as an umbrella expression for
all of its technical realizations. It presents, from a modern
perspective, the basic concepts and principles required to
understand the kinetics and thermodynamics of heterophase
polymerization at the atomistic, molecular, macromolecular,
supramolecular, colloidal, microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic
scales. It critically discusses the important physicochemical
mechanisms involved in heterophase polymerization, such as
nucleation, particle aggregation, mass transfer, swelling,
spontaneous emulsification, and polymerization kinetics, along with
the experimental evidences at hand.
