monomer-starved emulsion polymerisation

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.14337
Semi-continuous emulsion polymerization in which the polymerization rate is controlled by the feed rate(s) of monomer(s), in such a way that, for most of the process, the polymerization rate equals the monomer(s) feed rate(s).
Note: Usually a monomer-starved emulsion polymerization refers to a state where the monomer concentration in the polymer particles is less than its equilibrium swelling value.
