Abstract

Poly(vinyl acetate) was produced in a controlled manner using RAFT chemistry in a miniemulsion system. Homogeneous nucleation of the vinyl acetate monomer was suppressed through the use of an oil soluble initiator, 2,2′azo-bis(isobutyronitrile). The miniemulsion polymerizations exhibited lower reaction rates than a bulk polymerization.
