An overview of current and future themes for polymer colloids research

Abstract

A review. The following topics are discussed: the principal disciplines in polymer colloids research, conventional routes to polymer colloids (research on emulsion polymn. and functionalized polymer colloids), unconventional routes to polymer colloids (controlled polymn. in dispersed media, alternatives to polymer dispersion, other developments, and process modeling), characterization and properties of polymer colloids (colloidal and interfacial characterization, rheol., and polymer physics), and the way forward.
