dispersion polymerization

Dispersion polymerization is a process in which small molecules called monomers are dissolved in a liquid that doesn't mix well with them. When conditions are right, these monomers rapidly link together to form tiny, solid particles that stay suspended throughout the liquid. This method allows for the controlled production of uniform, microscopic polymer spheres, which are useful in many applications like paints, coatings, and medical devices. Essentially, it’s a way to make smooth, consistent polymer particles by carefully controlling the reaction environment in a liquid medium.
