Reverse emulsion polymerization : study of variables’ effects on nanogel synthesis and behaviour by Ho, Cheng En

“…Stable water-dispersible nanohydrogels of crosslinked acrylic acid-co-acrylamide (Poly AAc-co-AM) polymer were formed by inverse emulsion polymerization using N,N'methylenebisacrylamide (NNMBA) as cross-linking agent, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan mono-oleate (TWEEN80) and sorbitan monooleate (SPAN80) as cosurfactants. Various factors (temperature, initiator type, solvent ratio and surfactant ratio) that affect the reaction were arranged in a matrix and experiments were carried out in order to test how the factors affect the formation of the nanogel. …”
