Styrene — acrylonitrile copolymer latices were prepared by emulsion polymerisation using sodium lauryl sulphate as emulsifier and potassium persulphate as initiator. The effect of sodium lauryl sulphate on the stability of these copolymer latices has been investigated using magnesium chloride as flocculating agent by measuring the rates of flocculation in the presence of various concentrations of surfactant. The values of the critical coagulation concentration (ccc) were found to increase with increasing sufactant concentration for all latices.
The rates of increase in ccc with increasing surfactant concentrations were found to be almost independent of the content of acrylonitrile in the latex particles. The electrophoretic behaviour of these latices in the presence of the ionic surfactant has also been studied. The values of mobilities at ccc were found to decrease slightly with increase in the concentration of the ionic surfactant.
