Studying the Influence of Surfactants on Acrylate Emulsion

Abstract:

Alkyl maleic reactive polymeric surfactants (AMRPS) was used to replace traditional anionic emulsifier. The cashew phenol polyoxyethylene ether (CPEO-9/15) was used to replace traditional nonionic emulsifier. The acrylate emulsion was synthesized by semi-continuous and pre-emulsification polymerization technology. The acrylate emulsion was analyzed by particle size analyzer, viscosity analyzer,surface tension,water absorption and thermal stability. The result showed that this surfactants could be reactive in the polymerization process and thus was covalently linked onto the surface of the latex particles of acrylate emulsion. So it was able to improve the stability of polyacrylate emulsion.
