  • Method to form polymeric materials by reverse suspension/emulsion polymerization and compositions formed using that method
    Patent number: 7294672
    Abstract: A method to form a polymeric material is disclosed. The method provides a water immiscible solvent and one or more condensation monomers, where those one or more condensation monomers are essentially insoluble in the water immiscible solvent. The one or more condensation monomers may be either a solid or a liquid at room temperature. The method forms a reaction mixture comprising a suspension of one or more solid condensation monomers, or an emulsion of one or more liquid condensation monomers, in the water immiscible solvent. The method includes heating the reaction mixture to form the polymeric material product. That polymeric material is then separated from said reaction mixture.
