Interfacial polymerization is used in a range of elds, both academic and industrial, for the production of bers, capsules , and lms. Despite its widespread use, measuring the reaction kinetics of interfacial polymerization has remained a challenge. For example, reaction kinetics for polyamide reverse osmosis membranes are dicult to obtain and rarely reported due to the thinness of lms, and rapidity of their formation at the liquid-liquid interface. Here, polyamide lm formation is studied using a microuidic, interferometry-based technique to measure monomer concentration near the interface as the reaction occurs. Our results are consistent with a polymeriza-tion reaction that is initially controlled by a reaction-diusion boundary layer within the organic phase. Using simple scaling arguments to analyze our data, we report the rst measurements of the reaction rate constant for this system.
