Effects of Emulsifier Concentration on Polymer Particle Size in Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene

Abstract:

The variation trend of polymer particle size under different emulsifier concentrations in emulsion polymerization of styrene were investigated in this paper. The results show that the particle number increases and particle size decreases with the increase of emulsifier concentration. But the particle size growth is controlled by the rate of the monomer migration from water medium to the growing micelles.
