The paper describes the connections between the polymerization in dispersed medium and on the so called controlled living polymerization (CRP) taking as a descriptive basis the recent contribution to the domain coming from the authors research group. The synthetic description regards first of all the controlled free radical polymerization in water duispersions giving an overview of the different processes of mediation based either on nitroxide (NMP), atom transfer (ATRP) or reversible transfer (degenerative and additionfragmentation/ RAFT). A more detailed description regards the NMP of styrene with butylacrylate in acquesous emulsion and miniemulsion and the use of well defined amphiphilic block copolymers obtained by CRP as surfactants in emulsion polymerization.
Key words: free radical, emulsion polymerization, living radical polymerization, NMP, ATRP, RAFT, miniemulsuion, amphiphilic copolymers.
