Suspension polymerisation of methyl methacrylate : the use of polyelectrolyte stabilisers

The suspension polymerisation of methyl methacrylate (MMA), using polyelectrolyte solutions, sodium polymethacrylate (PMA–Na) and ammonium polymethacrylate (APMA) as suspending agents (stabilisers) was experimentally investigated in this project. The topics examined were: the rheological behaviour o...
