The soap-free emulsion polymerization was carried out for Styrene/Butadiene system with Acrylonitrile as hydrophilic comonomer and KPS as initiator. Under the condition of below 50% conversion, the dependence of Rp on $[AN]^n$ and $[KPS]^n$ was found to be n=1.617-1.050 and n=0.83-0.96 for [AN] and [KPS], respectively. The effect of $[AN]^n$ and $[KPS]^n$ on particle number density (Np) was determined to be n=1.533 and n=0.733, respectively. The highest conversion was obtained under the conditions of pH=5 and ratio of total monomer (g) to water (g)=0.5. The mechanical properties of SBR obtained in this experiment were shown to be inferior to commercial SBR in terms of tensile strength, 300% modulus and elongation. It was found that cure rate of SBR prepared in this experiment was faster than that of commercial SBR.

The purpose of this research was to synthesize fluorine modified waterborne polyurethane dispersion (F-WPU) by soap-free (internal emulsifier) emulsion polymerization techniques, to prepare coating solution based on fluorine modified waterborne polyurethane dispersion (F-WPU) and to compare the chemical and thermo-mechanical properties on the electrogalvanized steel sheet. Environmentally friendly F-WPU was prepared with a fluorinated polyol containing 60 wt% of fluorine. There are various ways of combining a wide variety of fluorinated polyols and diisocyanate to exhibit novel properties of waterborne polyurethane dispersion. Components of coating solution were largely divided into 4 kinds i.e., F-WPU, acrylic emulsion, silane coupling agent, and colloidal silicate. F-WPU coating solution on the electro-galvanized steel sheet showed excellent properties of corrosion resistance, alkali resistance and heat resistance, as compared to other coating solutions using a general waterborne resin. The F-WPU coating solution's reliable effects are possibly due to the fluorine atoms incorporated even in a small amount of F-WPU.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles were prepared by soap-free emulsion polymerization of MMA in the presence of a cationic initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) (AIBA). The Stober method has been adopted to coat silica on the surface of these cationic particles. Negatively charged silica precursors were coated onto cationic particle surfaces by electronic interaction. During the coating process, hollow particles were directly obtained by dissolution of PMMA.

Monodisperse polystyrene and its copolymer beads containing amine function were prepared for the electroless silver plating using reduction of silver alkylcarbamate complex in organic solvent. Soap-free emulsion polymerization was adopted for the polymerization of styrene, divinylbenzene (DVB), and 2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DAEMA) in the presence of poly (vinyl alcohol) in a water/methanol solvent. The resulting poly (styrene/DVB/DAEMA), containing 30/0$\sim$1.5/0$\sim$3 wt% in monomer composition, were found to be a sphere-type particle with diameter of 1 ${\mu}m$. Silver Ag-coated polystyrene beads were prepared by in sito reduction of a silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complex solution with hydrazine without pretreatment of polystyrene beads. Robust Ag/polystyrene beads were analyzed by SEM, UV -visible spectrometer and XRD.
