Abstract

For the emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene with the water-soluble comonomer 4-vinylpyrindine (4VP), and using ammonium persulfate as an initiator, the kinetics, the content of 4VP, the molecular weight and the molecular weight distributions of the polymer at various conversions, and particle morphologies have been investigated. Based on the results obtained, the particle nucleation mechanism was discussed.
