The formation of oligomers in emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene was characterized by means of gel permeation chromatography and surface tension measurements. GPC analysis showed incessant oligomer formation throughout the emulsion polymerization process. Oligomers spanned a molecula

## Abstract Emulsifierβfree emulsion polymerization of styrene in acetoneβwater medium was carried out using potassium persulfate as initiator. Below acetone content of 40 vol %, stable emulsion was prepared and polymerizations were remarkably fast compared with those in pure water. The particle si
In the present work polymer microgels were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of unsaturated polyesters (UPs) with end carboxyl groups and styrene (St). The nucleation mechanism of UP-St emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization was proposed. The effects of the ratio of the monomers
A cationic polymer of n-butyl methacrylate was prepared in an emulsifierfree system. Using, as a base, a 30% solid content, the variables studied were the monomer and initiator concentrations, the agitation, and the temperature. The molecular weight, the zeta potential, and the particle size were de
