Title: Emulsion polymerization of nitriles and other compounds

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method that includes polymerizing a nitrile with an acrylate ester to form a copolymer, in a mixture that includes water and an alcohol (R2—OH), according to the following reaction where R1 includes at least one of a first aliphatic group or hydrogen, R2 comprises at least one of a second aliphatic group or hydrogen, 100≤m≤4000, and 1≤n≤4000. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the mixture may be an emulsion.
