-Sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (wetting agent) applications in emulsion polymerization
Emulsion polymerization falls uder the category of radical polymerization that usually starts with an emulsion incorporating water, monomer, and surfactant (example Sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (wetting agent)).

Oil-in-water emulsion (O/W) is the most common type of emulsion polymerization.
In such case droplets of monomer (the oil) are emulsified (with surfactants) in a continuous phase of water.

Briefly the polymerization process may happen when the monomer layer is dispersed or emulsified in a solution of surfactant and water, forming relatively large droplets in water.

Excess surfactant can than create micelles in the water phase.
Small amounts of monomer can diffuse through the water to these micelle.

Then a water-soluble initiator is introduced into the water phase where it diffuses inside the micelles and reacts with the monomer.
An important parameter for reaction of initiator in surfactant micelles rather than in the larger monomer droplet results from their large surface areas.
