Abstract Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Polymer agglomeration shows promising potential for increasing the particle size of polybutadiene latex (PBL) and has garnered significant attention in the field of agglomeration. Current PBL agglomeration processes predominantly employ batch stirred reactors, which face challenges such as low agglomeration efficiency and significant batch-to-batch variability.
