Hydrophobic core/shell particles via miniemulsion polymerization
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
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 ...
Synthesis and characterization of comb-polymers with controlled structure
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
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 ...
An investigation into the mechanistic behaviour of RAFT-mediated miniemulsion polymerizations.
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2005-12)
Polymerization using the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) process affords a
researcher control over the molecular weight and polydispersity of the final polymer. Research is
being carried out ...
