  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007556",
  "term": "Monomer-starved emulsion polymerisation",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An emulsion polymerization process where the rate of monomer addition to the reactor is lower than the potential rate of polymerization. This leads to a monomer concentration in the polymer particles that is below saturation. The polymerization rate in this scenario is controlled by the rate of monomer feeding.",
  "subject": "Polymer",
