<p>A process for emulsion polymerization comprising the steps of reacting together a polymerization initiator, a reductor, and a polymerizable species, with the proviso that the polymerization initiator is not a hydroperoxide, characterized in that the polymerization initiator and the reductor are reacted together to provide a free radical moiety of the initiator, whereupon this free radical moiety initiates polymerization of the polymerizable species, this step being carried out at an initial cold start temperature, whereafter the temperature is increased to follow a temperature profile to a final preselected polymerization temperature.</p> |
