Traditionally, nano-emulsions are manufactured using semi-continuous methods (mechanical agitation and acoustic cavitation) that requires lot of energy. Because of its properties like stability, translucent appearance, small sized droplet and easily adjustable rheology, nano-emulsions are widely used in the coatings industry. Industries are increasingly moving towards greener manufacturing technology in order to improve the product quality and reduce production costs. Cavitation-based technologies are gaining interest among processing technologies because they are cost-effective in operation and are able in comparison to the conventional methods to obtain superior processed products. In addition, following recent developments in cavitation technology, wide-scale application for the processing is referred to be possible only in case of Hydrodynamic Cavitation method. In bio-fuel synthesis, extraction of useful products, food processing, emulsification and waste remediation, the Hydrodynamic Cavitation has shown its usefulness. This review includes a general overview of Hydrodynamic Cavitation based emulsion polymerization. Conventional manufacturing process for poly (Styrene/2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate) copolymer nano-emulsion and emulsification using Hydrodynamic Cavitation is reviewed in detail. Synthesis of poly (Styrene/2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate) copolymer nano-emulsion using Hydrodynamic Cavitation based emulsion polymerization is proposed. Furthermore, future paths are suggested after thorough consideration for practical viability.
