The absorption of moisture, from liquid as well as gaseous states of water, is known to strongly influence the properties of many polymeric materials. In this article, we examine the unusually high affinity for water of acrylic-based latex blend films, which lose their transparency and turn white up

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Water absorption in acrylic latex films was investigated. Films from post‐stabilized latices exhibited low water uptake during a long‐time immersion in water; this was caused by easier extraction of water soluble materials into water. The extraction of secondary emulsifiers was estimated by liquid chromatography; the structure of film surfaces was investigated by electron microscopy.
