Fundamental studies on morphology control for latex systems with application to waterborne coatings: The effect of polymer radical mobility in latex particles during polymerization

摘要

The morphology results for the reactions with a onehour feed time are shown in Figures 2a and 2b. Here, the experiment with the KPS initiator shows a similar occluded core shell morphology as observed for the experiments with slower feed rates. However, for the experiment with the VA-086 initiator there is no shell of polystyrene domains around the particles. Instead, the morphology from this experiment is simply an occluded type with domains of polystyrene located uniformly throughout the particles.
