Colloidal Polymers

Amidst developments in nanotechnology and successes in catalytic emulsion polymerization of olefins, polymerization in dispersed media is increasingly of interest from both practical and fundamental points of view. This text describes ultramodern approaches to synthesis, preparation, characterization and functionalization of latexes, nanoparticles, and numerous additional colloidal polymer systems. In chapters contributed by top international researchers, Colloidal Polymers: Synthesis and Characterization communicates critical parameters for method selection, presents guidelines for controlling structural and colloid properties, and describes other tools to assist in the production of desirable outcomes.
