Summary

This first single source to offer a comprehensive treatment of the operation and control of emulsion polymerization covers both the scientific and technological principles underpinning the process. Combining established knowledge with the latest research findings, this practical book provides rapid access to the theory, practice and fundamental tools, thus demystifying the chemistry involved. With its inclusion of the latest applications, such as the development and use of soft sensors, advanced control methods and expert systems for monitoring and diagnosis of the process, as well as laboratory data and case studies, this treatise is of value to practicing scientists, engineers, researchers and managers.
