Living/controlled radical polymerizations provide significant advantages in the control of polymer resin microstructure compared to conventional radical polymerization. Advances in our ability to tailor polymer microstructure will enable improvements in coatings properties and possibly new applications of coating technologies. Adapting living radical polymerizations to heterogeneous media such as aqueous-based miniemulsion polymerization presents several challenges related to maintaining the livingness (the fraction of chains that are still "living" at the end of polymerization) of the polymer chains and also developing a commercially viable process. We have studied the ...
