Styrenic surfmer in emulsion copolymerization of acrylic monomers. II. Copolymerization and film properties

Colloid chemistry approach to understand the storage stability of fermented carrot juice

“…This is why they are widely used, for example, in latex paints; see, e.g. (Einarson, et al, 1993;Soula, Guyot, Williams, Grade, & Blease, 1999), to give two representative papers on this subject.…”

Knowledge‐Based Production of Waterborne Hybrid Polymer Materials

“…However, the presence of surfactants presents serious drawbacks in film applications as it migrates to the interfaces reducing gloss and adhesion and forms aggregates in the interior of the film increasing the film sensitivity to water (water up‐take, and water and vapor permeability) . Reactive surfactants (surfmers) that become attached to the polymer chains, can in principle avoid these drawbacks . However, the nature of the surfmer (in particular the type of double bond) and the polymerization strategy should be adapted to each monomer system .…”

“…[110,111] Reactive surfactants (surfmers) that become attached to the polymer chains, can in principle avoid these drawbacks. [112,113] However, the nature of the surfmer (in particular the type of double bond) and the polymerization strategy should be adapted to each monomer system. [114,115] This is a serious drawback because a simple change in the monomer ratio may force to modify the surfmer and/or the polymerization strategy.…”

Crosslinkable surfactants based on linoleic acid-functionalized block copolymers of ethylene oxide and ε-caprolactone for the preparation of stable PMMA latices

“…The stability of the latices prepared using different surfactants was determined by visual examination of the occurrence of phase separation [6,15] upon freeze-thawing (the dispersions were kept at K20 8C for 24 h and subsequently at room temperature for another 24 h), addition of an equal volume of ethanol and addition of equal volumes of electrolytes (0.1 M MgSO 4 , 0.1 M NaCl, 0.5 M NaCl or 1.0 M NaCl).…”
