Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate-r-acrylic acid) block-random copolymers were used as stabilisers in the semi-batch emulsion polymerisation of methyl methacrylate (MMA). By adjusting the pH, nano-latexes with particle sizes ~30-200 nm were obtained using a surprisingly low stabiliser content (~0.01 wt% based on monomer).
期刊介绍:
Polymer Chemistry welcomes submissions in all areas of polymer science that have a strong focus on macromolecular chemistry. Manuscripts may cover a broad range of fields, yet no direct application focus is required.
