| Abstract: | Dodecylhemiester of maleic anhydride is a very good anionic stabilizer for the emulsion polymerization of styrene. Rather high solid contents may be produced. Up to about 70% of the surfactant can be grafted onto the surface of the particles. Upon floculation with calcium salt, only 3% of the surfactant is left in the washing water. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 1 This article is a US Government work and, as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.
