Toughened polystyrene composites by the concentrated emulsion pathway
Authors:Eli Ruckenstein  Hangquan Li
Abstract:Rubber–styrene solutions of various compositions and containing a suitable initiator have been polymerized starting from concentrated emulsions in which the above solutions constitute the dispersed phase and solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate in water the continuous phase. Latexes of rubber-modified polystyrene composites have been thus obtained. Solutions of rubber–styrene have been also polymerized by bulk polymerization for comparison purposes. The molecular weights have been determined from intrinsic viscosity measurements, and the mechanical properties of the composites have been studied via tensile testings. Because of the lower mobility of the high-molecular radicals in the concentrated emulsions, higher molecular weights have been obtained by the concentrated emulsion polymerization than by the bulk polymerization method. The tensile properties and toughness of the composites have been determined. While the two polymerization methods provide high, comparable toughness, the concentrated emulsion method generates latexes that can be easily processed in any desirable shape. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
