A short review concerning three main topics is presented with a few suggest
ions. The first topic deals with better control in emulsion polymerization,
with the following sub-topics : polymerization processes, polymer structur
e, particle morphology and surface functionalization. The second topic is a
bout non radical emulsion polymerization, such as ionic, catalytic coordina
tion or condensation mechanisms. Finally polymerizations in unusual media a
re shortly treated.
