Abstract

In this article we report preparation, physico-chemical and mechanical characterization of poly (vinyl acetate) (PAVc) films resulting from the copolymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) with two acrylate monomers, butyl acrylate (BuA) and 2‐ethyl hexyl acrylate (2-EHA) via emulsion polymerization method. Vinyl acetate (VAc) was used as principal monomer and copolymerized with butyl acrylate (BuA) and 2‐ethyl hexyl acrylate (2-EHA) at the feeding ratio of 85/15/0, 85/0/15, 85/5/10, 85/10/5, 85/7.5/7.5 wt % of VAc/BuA/2-EHA using deionised water as dispersion medium. The semi-continuous emulsion polymerization was carried out in the presence of potassium persulfate used as free radical initiator, two emulsifiers, anionic and non-ionic surfactants and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) used as a protective colloidal. The obtained copolymers were further analysed by Brookfield viscosimeter, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR/ATR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical tests. The influence of composition on thermal characteristics of the obtained films is described.
