  "term": "Intervals in emulsion polymerisations",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The distinct stages observed during an emulsion polymerization process, characterized by changes in the reaction rate and the morphology of the polymer particles. These intervals typically include an initial nucleation phase, a period of constant polymerization rate, and a final stage where monomer concentration decreases. The number and duration of these intervals depend on factors such as initiator concentration, monomer solubility, and surfactant type.",
