Abstract
- A process by atomization is applied to miniemulsion and suspension polymerization.
- A simple atomizer is used as an alternative method to break the monomer droplets.
- The droplets formed with the atomizer are directed to the liquid reaction medium.
- We produce submicron particles of poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene.
- Polymeric particles were obtained with size between 40 and 300Â nm.
