Modeling of differential microemulsion polymerization for synthesizing nanosized poly(methyl methacrylate) particles
A mathematical model was developed for the differential microemulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate to produce nanosized poly(methyl methacrylate) particles. The homogeneous nucleation mechanism is applied because of the operation characteristics of the differential microemulsion polymerization in which the concentration of the reaction monomer is low. An analysis has been carried out and it is confirmed that the model can predict the experimental data in reasonable agreement.
