Abstract
The dispersion polymerization of methylmethacrylate stabilized by poly(12-hydroxy-stearic acid) in hydrocarbon media has been investigated. Unlike earlier results [7] it was found that stable latex particles can be prepared in the initial monomer concentration range 8.5 % to 34 %. To obtain stable particles varying amounts of stabilizer were used.
