Description:	mulsion polymerization is a unique chemical process that has been widely used to manufacture a variety of latex products for numerous applications. Some important examples include synthetic rubbers, adhesives, binders, caulks and sealants, trade paints, industrial coatings, printing inks and overprint var- nishes, thermoplastics, emulsion aggregation toners, immunoassay products based on the affi nity interaction between the ligand -c ontaining latex particles and the target biomolecules, and monodisperse polymer particles for fi ne instrument calibration standards. The favorable atmosphere for environmen- tally friendly emulsion polymers is the major driving force for the rapid advancement of this green technology, though these water - based products have limitations in nature and perhaps they can never achieve the excellent performance properties offered by the solvent -b ased counterparts. In recent years, the continuously soaring crude oil price (reaching 100 U.S. dollars per barrel in the fi rst quarter of 2008) makes these latex products compete more effectively with solvent -b orne polymer systems in a variety of markets. The current trend clearly indicates that emulsion polymerization is an important fi eld that deserves more research and development resources.
