Aqueous Dispersions of Extraordinarily Small Polyethylene Nanoparticles

Abstract

Catalytic emulsion polymerization with a hydrophilic catalyst afforded extraordinarily small polyethylene particles of <20 nm size in the form of aqueous dispersions. The small size of the particles renders the dispersions transparent (see picture).
