#009: Emulsion Polymerization - Making Polymer Nanoparticles

RACInational - 2017-06-05

Dr Stuart Thickett (University of Tasmania) demonstrates the emulsion polymerization of styrene to form polymer nanoparticles.

100 Reactions for RACI100 is a project launched by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI) in celebration of the Institute's centenary (RACI100) in 2017. The series of videos aims to spark an interest and inspire enthusiasm in chemistry - a scientific discipline that plays a vital part in every aspect of our lives.

many thanks for this explanation sir, but how did you dried the emulsion and got the solid polymer? and can you explain the ratio of monomer and initiator? I hope to get the answer. Many thanks sir

Did you get the answer? After polymerization, evaporation and then drying process is logical to obtain dry form?

@thapparr maro system koO ali what's your problem

Kyle Langlois - 2020-04-05

how do you go from the emulsified product to the solid. just evaporate off the solvent or destabilize the emulsion colloids ?
