The Effect of Ion Exchange on Latex Stability

  • Conference paper
Polymer Colloids

Abstract

Recently, it was shown (1) that the adsorbed emulsifier and solute electrolyte are removed quantitatively from polystyrene latexes by ion exchange. Rigorous purification of the ion-exchange resin is necessary to avoid contamination of the latex by leached polyelectrolytes. The ion-exchanged latexes are titrated conductometrically with sodium hydroxide to determine the residual charged groups on the particle surface. These strong-acid groups are attributed to the sulfate endgroups of the polymer molecules introduced by the persulfate initiator.
