Monomer Transport in Emulsion Polymerization II: Copolymerization

Abstract The method for evaluating the Damkohler number for monomer transport during emulsion homopolymerization is extended to copolymerization. It is shown that monomers that are not monomer‐transport limited during homopolymerization may become more so during binary copolymerization, and monomers that are monomer‐transport limited during homopolymerization may become less so during binary copolymerization.
