A series of anionic maleic surfactants were synthesized, and their chemical structures were characterized by NMR. The synthesized surfmers were then used in emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of potassium persulfate as an initiator. The polymerization kinetics were investigated, and the obtained latex particles were characterized in terms of particle size and size distribution. The results obtained were compared with the emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of an SDS surfactant. The influences of the nature and concentration of surfmers on polymerization conversion and particle size in particular were investigated and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
