Suspension Polymerization

Suspension polymerization is a polymerization process that uses mechanical agitation to mix the monomer or mixture of monomers in a liquid phase such as water, polymerizing the monomer droplets while they are dispersed by continuous agitation. This process is used in the production of most PVC, a widely used plastic, as well as Sodium polyacrylate, a superabsorbent polymer used in disposable diapers.



"An Updated Review on Suspension Polymerization", published in I&EC research is aimed at providing a sound basis for the theoretical background required to build an effective model for the particle size distribution (PSD) in suspension polymerization.
