Development of Particle Morphology in Emulsion Polymerization .1. Cluster Dynamics
A mathematical model for cluster migration during the development of the particle morphology in emulsion polymerization has been developed. The motion of the clusters is due to the balance between the van der Waals forces and the viscous forces. Several illustrative calculations are presented including systems for which the final equilibrium morphologies were (i) core-shell, (ii) inverted core-shell, and (iii) occluded morphology.
