A method for making an emulsion using a rotating membrane device () including:

Swept membrane emulsification

A method for preparing monodisperse crosslinked bead polymers by introducing droplets having a harmonic mean size from 50 to 1500 microns and comprising at least one monomer, at least one crosslinker and a free-radical polymerization initiator into an aqueous medium through orifices to produce an aqueous suspension of droplets having a volume fraction of droplets from 35 to 64%; wherein the droplets are not encapsulated; causing the aqueous suspension of droplets to flow in a downward direction in a pipe in which the temperature is maintained at least 20&#xb0; C. below the temperature at which the polymerization initiator has a half-life of 1 hour; and polymerizing the droplets in a reactor.

Method for producing polymer beads of uniform size

The present invention provides an apparatus for forming a chemical mechanical polishing pad, comprising a tank with polymeric materials, a storage silo with microspheres and a curative storage tank with curing agents. The apparatus further provides a premix prep tank for forming a pre-mixture of the polymeric materials and the microspheres and a recirculation loop in the premix prep tank for recirculating the pre-mixture until a desired bulk density is reached. The apparatus further provides a premix run tank for storing the pre-mixture, a mixer for forming a mixture of the pre-mixture and the curing agents and a mold for molding the mixture.
