Abstract

Two series of latexes of poly (methyl methacrylate) PMMA were synthesized in a semi-continuous reactor; two kinds of new emulsifier systems were tested in the synthesis: a mixture of two non-ionic surfactants and an anionic surfactant. The influence of the reactor composition on the average particle size and particle size distribution was determined using methods of scanning electron microscopy and quasi-elastic light scattering.
