Notes:
Growth of two droplet families and a polymer seed family as a function of percent monomer conversion in PVC miniemulsion synthesis demonstrates that polymerization in droplets predominates to ∼ 30-40% conversion, whereupon polymerization of seed becomes favored. This difference appears to be due to a liquid-to-solid phase change in the forming particles during the course of polymerization.
