Abstract
The development of a technique for the direct preparation of polymer dispersions of controlled particle size in organic media is described. This method of dispersion polymerisation involves the polymerisation of a monomer dissolved in an organic liquid to produce insoluble polymer dispersed in the continuous phase. An amphipathic graft or block copolymer is used as the dispersant. The general features of the process, including the method used for stabilising the polymer dispersions and the mode of particle formation and growth, are reviewed.
