79 Interfacial Polymerization
Interfacial polymerization is a type of step-growth polymerization in which polymerization occurs at the interface between two immiscible phases (generally two liquids), resulting in a polymer that is constrained to the interface.
There are five common types of interfacial polymerization interfaces: liquid-solid, liquid-liquid, and liquid-in-liquid emulsion. There are two examples each for liquid-liquid and liquid-in-liquid emulsion, either using one monomer or two.
The principles of interfacial polymerization were first described in a series of articles published by Morgan’s research group at Dupont Nemour, and those reports are still the key reference resources for interfacial polymerization. ...
