Polymer nanoparticles are an important class of polymeric materials that are required for a number of commercial applications. This book presents the tremendous developments in the synthesis and surface modification techniques to generate advanced polymer nanoparticles. After a brief introduction to polymer latex technology, the text discusses emulsion polymerization, miniemulsion polymerization, as well as batch, semi-batch, and continuous polymerization. It then details the synthesis and surface modification of various types of polymer nanoparticles, including polymers with core-shell morphologies; dendrimers modified polymer nanoparticles; and porous and hollow polymer nanoparticles.
