Alkali-Thickening Characteristics of Vinyl Acetate and Vinyl Ester Versatic Acid Copolymer Latex Using Carboxylic Monomers

Abstract:

VAc/Veova10/MAA copolymer latex containing carboxyl groups was synthesized by the semi-continuous seed emulsion polymerization with vinyl acetate (VAc), vinyl ester of versatic acid (Veova10) and methacrylic acid (MAA). Alkali-thickening characteristics of VAc/Veova10/MAA copolymer latex containing carboxyl groups, adjusted from pH 5.5 to 6.4, 8.9, 9.8 with NaOH aq., were investigated by DSC. The results showed that the viscosities of VAc/Veova10/MAA copolymer latex were increased with the inceasing of pH, The frozen temperature peaks were observed to increase with the increasing of pH, the thawed temperature peaks were shifted to lower temperature, and the state of water in latexes were different. The partial morphologies of latexes were irregular and latexes were pseudoplastic fluid. And water absorption of films were increased with the increasing of pH in latexes and dry and wet shear strengths were also decreased.
