Structure and Growth of Latex Particles

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Polymer Colloids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 67-68))

Abstract

The morphology of latex particles is of interest because of the structural implications regarding growth mechanisms involved in emulsion polymerization and because of the practical expectation of certain beneficial effects obtained from structured particles. Since process and properties are so closely linked in the production of emulsion polymers, a variety of processes have been devised as efforts to design and control the microstructure of latex particles have intensified. The central issue is whether, as a general rule, particle growth is better represented in terms of a surface growth model or of a bulk polymerization model. Results obtained by a variety of methods developed to study particle and film morphology will be reviewed, and the special case of water-soluble monomers will be considered along with descriptions of process techniques designed to control particle structure.
