In situ polymerization of surface-active agents on latex particles I. Preparation and characterization of styrene/butadiene latexes

Reactive surfactants in heterophase polymerization

“…Greene et al [45] prepared monodisperse styrene/butadiene latexes using a very low amount of sodium 9-(and 10)-acrylamidostearate (NaAAS), a polymerizable surfactant. The latexes were cleaned by passing through a column of an ion-exchange resin until the surface tension was 72 -73 dynes/cm, which indicated that most of the non-reacted and the water-soluble polymeric NaAAS had been removed.…”

Reactive Surfactants

“…It was in 1970 that for the first time the application of a SURFMER in emulsion polymerization was reported [36,37]. The system investigated was a styrene/butadiene emulsion polymerization in the presence of sodium 9-(and 10)-acrylamido stearate.…”

Polymeric surfactants based on oleic acid. II. Copolymerization of sodium acrylamidostearate and 10-undecen-1-ol in a lamellar liquid crystal

“…33 In a 500 mL threenecked flask equipped with a stirrer, a condenser, and a dropping funnel were placed 121 g of 96.5% sulfuric acid. With the temperature around 0°C, 53 g acrylonitrile and 70.5 g oleic acid were carefully added.…”
