Abstract
Polymerization of methyl methacrylic acid (MMA) was made in transparent W/O microemulsions and solutions. Acrylic Acid (AA) and pentanol were used as cosurfactants and sodium dodecyl sulfate as surfactant Acrylic Acid as cosurfactant gave large microemulsion areas with the monomer of methyl methacrylic acid. Polymerization in areas where the microemulsion remained stable gave polymers with high molecular weights 106.Keywords
