After having defined classical emulsion polymerisation, its main features, advantages and drawbacks will be comparatively discussed, in the introduction.

Then, the following topics will be discussed with more details

1)      Controlled radical polymerisations

2)      High Solid Latexes

3)      Polymerisable surfactants in Miniemulsion polymerisations

4)      Hybrid latexes containing polymers, or oligomers from other  polymerisation procedures

5)      Encapsulation of inorganic colloidal particles, pigments or dyes

Finally a few concluding remarks will be given.
