Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of monodisperse porous polymer particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the pore diameters of these porous polymer particles were on the order of 1000 A with pore volumes up to 0.9 mL/g and specific surface areas up to 200 m2/g.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation of large-particle-size monodisperse latexes in space: polymerization kinetics and process development
John W. Vanderhoff,Mohamed S. El-Aasser,F. J. Micale,E. D. Sudol,Cm. Tseng,A. Silwanowicz,D. M. Kornfeld,F. A. Vicente +7 more
TL;DR: The results of these polymerizations and the prospects of developing a preparative space process were reviewed in this paper. But the results of the polymerization were incomplete due to apparatus malfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Surface Tension Measurement with a Dynamic Wilhelmy Plate Technique
Ning Wu,Jialin Dai,F. J. Micale +2 more
TL;DR: An experimental method called dynamic Wilhelmy plate technique (DWPT) for studying dynamic surface tension was designed and a diffusion-controlled model corresponding to the initial and boundary conditions of this method was proposed.
Patent
Process for preparation of large-particle-size monodisperse
TL;DR: In this article, a reaction mixture containing smaller monodisperse latex seed particles, predetermined amounts of monomer, emulsifier, initiator, inhibitor and water is placed in a microgravity environment, and polymerization is initiated by heating.
Patent
Preparation of large particle size monodisperse latexes
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of monodisperse seed latex and a water-soluble polymeric emulsifier is used for growth and yield enhancement of a microgravity environment, where the mixture is stored before polymerization, and one or more additional emulsifiers are selected from a water soluble comonomer or polymer of 0.3×103 -5×103 molecular weight.
