Abstract

An efficient continuous synthesis of nanolatex was achieved in water using a single-lane photochemical microreactor combined with an energy-saving and safe UV fluorescent lamp. Acrylate and thiol-ene miniemulsions were polymerized in high yields at low irradiance (3 mW cm−2) upon controlling droplet size, temperature and residence time.
