Abstract

Based on systematic studies of kinetic regularities of heterophase polymerization of styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA), and study of physical and chemical properties of polymer suspensions, it was established that stable functional polymer suspensions with narrow particle size distribution with diameters from 0.4 to 1.4 μm are formed, when functional organosilicon surfactants are used as stabilizers at 0.5–1.0 wt% surfactant concentration per monomer mass.
