Abstract
A new approach is presented to calculate both the distribution of particles with iradicals and the average number of radicals per particle in emulsion polymerizations carried out using oil‐soluble initiators. The convergence and accuracy of the approach were examined. It was found that, in agreement with previously published experimental results, the present approach predicts a kinetic behavior similar to that found for water‐soluble initiators. This effect is primarily due to the desorption of initiator radicals from the polymer particles rather than the contribution of the fraction of oil‐soluble initiator dissolved in the aqueous phase.Keywords
