Continuous emulsion polymerisation

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012995",
  "term": "Continuous emulsion polymerisation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An emulsion polymerization process conducted in a continuous reactor, where reactants are continuously fed into the system and product is continuously withdrawn. This contrasts with batch processes, allowing for steady-state operation and potentially higher production rates. Continuous emulsion polymerization is widely used for large-scale production of polymer latices.",
