Emulsion copolymerization of N-phenylmaleimide (PMI) with styrene (St) was conducted via semibatch and batch methods. The effect of monomer mixture composition and method of copolymerization on copolymer structure-property relationships was investigated. The semibatch copolymers have a homogeneous m

β¦ Synopsis
Coagulum formation in emulsion polymerization of tribromostyrene and also in its copolymerization with styrene has been shown to be due to thermal polymerization. The latter takes place in the monomer reservoirs, even in the absence of radical generating initiators, converting them into sticky particles which then form the undesired coagulum. The coagulum formation phenomenon can thus be remedied by reducing the thermal initiation level through a semi-batch emulsion polymerization method, by lowering the polymerization temperature, and reduction of the collision frequency of monomerlpolymer particles.

## Abstract The microemulsion (M.E.) and conventional emulsion (C.E.) copolymerizations of styrene (STY) with methyl methacrylate (MMA) are carried out at 70Β°C by employing __n__βpentanol (PA) and __n__βoctanol (OA), respectively, as cosurfactants along with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), as surfacta
Stable and transparent poly(styrene-acrylonitrile) latexes were produced by the polymerization of styrene-acrylonitrile in ternary o/w micro-emulsions containing sodium dodecyl sulfate as an anionic surfactant.

Polymerizable styrenic surfactants (surfmers) and nonreactive analogs, have been applied in emulsion copolymerization of acrylic monomers in a seeded semibatch process. Stable core-shell latexes with low levels of coagulum and controlled particle size have been obtained; some of them, with either st
