The seeded microemulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate was studied with ␥-rays. The hydrodynamic diameter and its distribution of polymer particles in the seeded microemulsion before and after polymerization were determined with photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). Though there were micelles in

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The oil‐in‐water (o/w) microemulsion polymerizations butyl acrylate initiated with a watersoluble (ammonium peroxodisulfate, AP) and/or and oil‐soluble (dibenzoyl peroxide, DBP) radical initiator at different monomer feed compositions and monomer concentrations were investigated. The rate of polymerization shows nucleation and termination intervals. The rate of polymerization is found to increase with the BA concentration. The polymerization is faster with AP than with DBP. The average number of radicals per particle increases exponentially with both the monomer concentration and the particle size. The number of particles decreases with monomer concentration. The molecular weights parallel the rate of polymerization and are larger in the systems with DBP.

Butyl acrylate was initiated with KPS or BPO to polymerize at high monomer concentration in the microemulsions with SBOA (sodium 12-butinoyloxy-9-octadecenate) as emulsifier. The microemulsion remained clear or reddish. It was found that the constant polymerization period appeared in most microemuls
The effects of initial monomer charge on the particle formation and on the rate of polymerization were investigated for semibatch emulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate using sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as a surfactant and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. For the semibatch process with
The oil-in-water-type microemulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate initiated by UV light was investigated. The polymerization showed two nonstationary rate intervals with a short rise to a maximum. The rate of polymerization was found to be proportional to the 0.7th power of the incident light int
