Hydrophobic core/shell latex particles were synthesized for use in barrier coatings using the miniemulsion polymerization process. Particles with liquid or with hard cores were successfully synthesized using miniemulsion ...

Cellulose, one of the most abundant organic substances on earth, is a linear polymer of D-glucose units joined through 1,4-β-linkages. Cellulose is however not easily processed without chemical modification. A number of ...

Synthesis of a series of poly (methylmethacrylate)-graft-poly (styrene) polymer was carried out via free radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate and polystyrene macromonomers. The macromonomers were synthesized via ...
