β¦ Synopsis
The content of residual monomers is one of the most important characteristics of polymer dispersions. As a result of the similar physicochemical parameters of ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, it is very difficult to determine the residual monomers in acrylate dispersions obtained by emulsion polymerization of both monomers. Gas chromatography with capillary columns, however, permits separation of these monomers and their quantitative determination in acrylate dispersions.

A quantitative method for determining residual ethylene oxide in plastic and rubber catheters using gas-liquid chromatography has been developed. Tests on ethylene oxide stabilized catheters indicated that the amount of ethylene oxide in the catheters decreased as a function of aeration time up to 4
## Abstract This article reports a headspace gas chromatography (GC) method for the determination of the residual monomer in a methyl methacrylate polymer latex or emulsion. Because of the multiphase nature of a polymer latex, the level of the residual monomer cannot be quantified by headspace GC o
