<p>Suspension/Emulsion Polymerization</p><p>Compare Suspension Polymerization with Emulsion Polymerization</p><p>Describe the microscopic environment of each process show where the monomer, initiator and additives are located in the initial stages of the polymerization and after 25% conversion is achieved. (Draw clear pictures and label them carefully). </p><p>What is the impact of increasing the initiator concentration in a suspension polymerization?</p><p>What is the impact of increasing the surfactant concentration in an emulsion polymerization?</p><p>What advantages over bulk polymerization can you cite for a suspension polymerization? List some commercial polymers which are produced by suspension processes.</p><p>Rubbers are usually produced by emulsion processes. Why? Hint—consider the source of natural rubber.</p>
