← ScienceWhich process limits the polymerisation rate during emulsion polymerisation?
A)Free radical capture by micelles✓
B)Monomer depletion in aqueous phase
C)Surfactant aggregation number
D)Particle size monodispersity
💡 Explanation
Radical entry into a micelle containing polymer leads to rapid termination because termination rate is high in small volumes; therefore, radical capture limits polymerisation, rather than monomer depletion which would limit propagation rate under starved feed conditions.
