Summary
A non ionic amphiphilic maleic diester with a poly(ethylene oxide) hydrophilic chain was used as a copolymerizable surfactant in batch free-radical emulsion polymerizations of styrene and n-butylacrylate. A good stability during the polymerization process was observed together with a high incorporation of the surfactant.
