Semi-continuous emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate in presence of AMPS

The emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of vinyl acetate (VAc) and butyl acrylate (BA) in the presence of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) was carried out by a semi-continuous process. AMPS was a reactive surfactant in the aqueous emulsion, due to its amphiphilic structure and the unsaturated double bonds. Potassium persulfate (KPS) was used as initiator. The following factors were mainly examined: quantity of AMPS, BA and KPS concentrations, which could significantly affect the particle size and its distribution, conversion, gel content, minimum film-forming temperature, etc. The particle size and its distribution were characterized by dynamic laser particle size analyzer, and morphology of the latex particles was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize chemical structure of copolymers. The results indicated that AMPS was successfully reacted onto the resulted copolymer of vinyl acetate and butyl acrylate. A hydrophilic sulfonic acid group in the molecular structure of AMPS tended to be distributed in particles surface after polymerization. As a result, an electrostatic repulsion between the particles was produced in order to maintain stability of the system. Thermogravimetric analysis curves suggested that as BA content increased, thermal stability of the polymer increased accordingly. The conversion-time plots with varying AMPS and initiator contents were obtained, which illustrated that the initiator concentration could greatly influence the polymerization rate and the final conversion. The TEM micrographs of the final emulsifier-free latex particles for P(VAc/BA/AMPS) system revealed small particle size in monodisperse polymer latex. The particles of the latex were measured as about 150 nm.

Semibatch emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate. II. Effects of emulsifier distribution

The effects of emulsifier distribution ratio between the initial charge and the feed on particle formation and kinetics of butyl acrylate emulsion polymerization, using sodium lauryl sulfate as emulsifier and potassium persulfate as initiator, were investigated. The number of particles increased with initial emulsifier concentration in the reactor charge. It was shown that traditional ranking, in terms of number of particles produced, of semibatch emulsion polymerization with monomer emulsion feed is not always justified and a semibatch emulsion polymerization can produce far more particles than a conventional batch emulsion polymerization. The number of polymer particles was found to be practically independent of the emulsifier distribution ratio between the charge and the feed for a high overall emulsifier concentration, while for a low overall emulsifier concentration, the number of particles increased with initial loading of the emulsifier. The polydispersity index (PDI) of the final latexes showed a minimum with emulsifier distribution. A bimodal particle size distribution, and a latex with a large PDI, was obtained when there was no emulsifier in the charge. As the initial emulsifier charge increased, a unimodal PSD with a smaller PDI was obtained. With higher proportions of emulsifier in the initial charge, the PDI rose again due to particle nucleation at monomer‐starved conditions, and a skewed unimodal PSD was obtained. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of branched organosilicon-acrylate copolymer latexes

Summary Stable organosilicon-acrylate copolymer latexes with high silicon content were prepared by seeded semibatch emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) with a novel branched organosilicon monomer 3-methacryloxypropyl tris(trimethylsiloxy) silane (MPTS). Monomer conversion, evolution of the particle size and its distribution were monitored by dynamic light scattering. The effects of MPTS on the polymerization kinetics, the nucleation mechanism and properties of latex were investigated. The results indicated that, in addition to micellar nucleation, a coagulative nucleation step was also observed as a result of the addition of the organosilicon monomer, accordingly, the particle number of the silicon-acrylate latexes increased, the average particle diameter decreased and the polymerization rate accordingly increased compared to those of the acrylate latexes without organosilicon monomer. Moreover, the particle size distribution presented bimodal curves, which indicated that there were large particles formed at an early stage. However, the particle size distribution curves became monomodal at the later stage, and the final latex shows a narrow particle size distribution. It was found that the properties of latex and latex film were obviously influenced by MPTS content. With increasing MPTS content, latex film glass transition temperature and water absorption ratio decreased, the degradation temperature and water contact angle were increased. Hence, the resulting latex films containing MPTS showed lower glass transition temperature and excellent water-resistance, which probably due to the incorporation of the bulky branched hydrophobic group of MPTS into the copolymer chains.

Characterization of polystyrene latexes

Polystyrene latexes were prepared by emulsion polymerization. Styrene was used as monomer, potassium persulfate was the reaction initiator and sodium hydrogen carbonate was used as buffer. Surfactant may or may not be used. Three types of surfactant, ie sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (anionic), Triton X‐100 and Vulcastab LW (nonionic), and hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (cationic), were used. The prepared latexes were characterized according to concentration, density, pH, ionic strength, particle size, particle size distribution and surface charge. For prepared latexes with anionic surfactant, the effects of temperature, initiator concentration, surfactant concentration and amount of monomer on the latex size were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was used as a tool for latex characterization. The results show that by increasing temperature, initiator and emulsifier concentration, the latex diameter decreases. However, size increases by increasing the amount of monomer. A potentiometric titration technique was employed for determination of surface charge. It was found that for all latexes, surface charge densities are in the same range. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry     

Preparation and properties of poly[styrene‐co‐(butyl acrylate)‐co‐(acrylic acid)]/silica nanocomposite latex prepared using an acidic silica sol

BACKGROUND: Polyacrylate/silica nanocomposite latexes have been fabricated using blending methods with silica nanopowder, in situ polymerization with surface‐functionalized silica nanoparticles or sol–gel processes with silica precursors. But these approaches have the disadvantages of limited silica load, poor emulsion stability or poor film‐forming ability. RESULTS: In this work, poly[styrene‐co‐(butyl acrylate)‐co‐(acrylic acid)] [P(St‐BA‐AA)]/silica nanocomposite latexes and their dried films were prepared by adding an acidic silica sol to the emulsion polymerization stage. Morphological and rheological characterization shows that the silica nanoparticles are not encapsulated within polymer latex particles, but interact partially with polymer latex particles via hydrogen bonds between the silanol groups and the ? COOH groups at the surface of the polymer particles. The dried nanocomposite films have a better UV‐blocking ability than the pure polymer film, and retain their transparency even with a silica content up to 9.1 wt%. More interestingly, the hardness of the nanocomposite films increases markedly with increasing silica content, and the toughness of the films is not reduced at silica contents up to 33.3 wt%. An unexpected improvement of the solvent resistance of the nanocomposite films is also observed. CONCLUSION: Highly stable P(St‐BA‐AA)/silica nanocomposite latexes can be prepared with a wide range of silica content using an acidic silica sol. The dried nanocomposite films of these latexes exhibit simultaneous improvement of hardness and toughness even at high silica load, and enhanced solvent resistance, presumably resulting from hydrogen bond interactions between polymer chains and silica particles as well as silica aggregate/particle networks.

Effect of the carboxylic acid monomer type on the emulsifier‐free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butadiene

Carboxylated styrene–butadiene rubber latexes were prepared through the emulsifier‐free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butadiene with various carboxylic acid monomers. The effects of various carboxylic acid monomers on the particle formation process were investigated. The type of carboxylic acid monomer strongly affected the particle nucleation. The number of particles and thus the polymerization rate increased with the increasing hydrophobicity of the carboxylic acid monomers. There was a significant difference in the polymerization rate per particle. The results showed that particle nucleation and growth were dependent on the hydrophilic nature of the carboxylic acid monomers. The average particle diameter of the carboxylated styrene–butadiene rubber latexes in the dry state was obtained through some calculations using direct measurements of the average particle diameter in the monomer‐swollen state by a dynamic light scattering technique. Several parameters, such as the polymerization rate, number of latex particles per unit of volume of the aqueous phase, and polymerization rate per particle, were calculated. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of emulsifiers on particle size and particle size distribution of PVC latex synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization

We synthesized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) latexes via miniemulsion polymerization using a mixture of cetyl alcohol (CA) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). A vinyl chloride miniemulsion is easily prepared by conventional mechanical stirring. Experimental design methods were applied to investigate the effects of composition and polymerization conditions on average particle size (APS) and particle size distribution (PSD) of the latexes produced. The APS of the latexes produced ranged from 0.4–0.7 μm. When the APS of the latex produced was above 0.7 μm, the resulting latex was highly unstable. The emulsifier ratio (CA/SLS) was the most prominent factor influencing APS and PSD.     

甲基丙烯酸甲酯-丙烯酸乙酯乳液共聚动力学研究

Preparation of epoxy resin/acrylic composite latexes by miniemulsion polymerization method

Epoxy resin/acrylic composite latexes were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. Epoxy resins have a functional epoxy group in them and excellent characteristics, such as heat resistance and good adhesion. Acrylic latexes have weather and water resistance. Combining the epoxy resin and the acrylic latex was an attempt to actualize these advantages. The miniemulsion polymerization method was effective in obtaining the composite latex. A less than 500‐nm droplet size for the monomer preemulsion was necessary to obtain the latex in a stable manner. Dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate and methacrylic acid as the reactive functional monomer with an epoxy group were introduced to the latexes. The effect of the polymerization method of these functional groups on the properties of latexes and their films was investigated. The latex prepared by the two‐stage polymerization method had good polymerization stability, storage stability, and solvent resistance. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Entry in emulsion polymerization using a mixture of sodium polystyrene sulfonate and sodium dodecyl sulfate as the surfactant

A mixture of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (NaPSS) and anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), was used as the emulsifier in the emulsion polymerization of styrene at 60 °C. The latexes prepared were stable, bearing the better resistance to the addition of electrolyte, and have the larger values in particle size and the higher polymerization rates than those counterparts prepared using SDS only. The NaPSS was prepared by a series of process: a concentrated cyclohexane solution of an anionically polymerized polystyrene (PS) was sulfonated with sulfuric acid at 80 °C, and then neutralized and purified through dialysis. The data of average polymer number per particle (n_p) were found useful in investigating the surfactant content effect on the entry of radicals into particles, where the latex particle size plays an important role.     

Convenient method for removing and concentrating hydrophobic organic compounds from water with amphiphilic polymers

A stable fluoroacrylate copolymer emulsion was successfully prepared by miniemulsion polymerization with fluoroacrylate, lauryl methylacrylate, and methyl methacrylate as monomers. Extremely hydrophobic fluoroacrylate, instead of conventional cosurfactants, was used as a reactive cosurfactant to stabilize the miniemulsions. The results indicated that fluoroacrylate retarded Ostwald ripening and allowed the production of stable miniemulsions. The chemical compositions of the copolymer were studied with Fourier transform infrared and ¹H‐NMR. The average composition of the copolymers prepared with miniemulsions was in good agreement with the feed ratio according to ¹H‐NMR from the integration ratios corresponding to typical protons of the individual monomers. The particle size distribution and morphology of the latex particles were determined with laser particle analysis and transmission electron microscopy. The particle size of the latex underwent no change in the process of miniemulsion polymerization, but the particle size distributions were broader than those of conventional emulsion polymerization. The effects of various reaction parameters, including the temperature and concentrations of the emulsifier and initiator, on the miniemulsion polymerization were also investigated, and the polymerization rate and conversion increased with increasing concentrations of nonylphenol polyethoxylate (with an average of 40 ethylene oxide units per molecule), cetyltrimethylammonium, and 2,2′‐azobisisobutyronitrile. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
