Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) particles are widely used as model colloids. Aqucous PS latices are usually prepared by emulsion polymerization. The emulsion polymerization can be performed either with a surfactant or without a surfactant (soap-free or emulsifier-free). The theory of emulsion polymer
Emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene (St) and copolymerization of St and 4-vinyl pyridine (4VP) in the presence of ammonium persulfate were studied. A comparison between the two polymerization systems was made. It was found that there were big differences comparing polymerization rate,
