    摘要: The invention relates to a method for preparing oil-in-water miniemulsions comprising monomer droplets with a mean diameter in the range of from 50 to 1000 nm, wherein the monomer droplets comprising superhydrophobic and/or hydrophobic monomers. The method comprises the addition of adding an oil phase to an emulsifier system, wherein the oil phase comprises at least 5 wt.-% to 100 wt.-% of one or more superhydrophobic monomers and/or hydrophobic monomers and 0 wt.-% to 60 wt.-% of hydrophilic monomers and the emulsifier system comprises at least one glucamide surfactant or a mixture of surfactants comprising at least 20 wt.-% and less than 100 wt.-% of the at least one glucamide surfactant and more than 0 wt.-% to 80 wt.-% of at least one anionic surfactant, and water, until gel formation is observed, and diluting the obtained gel with an aqueous phase.
    Further embodiments are miniemulsions prepared by the described method and their use for the preparation of polymer dispersions which can be used as binders for paints or coatings.
