Stabilizing effect of the cationic surfactant (CPB) in emulsion polymerization

Screening for Potential Antimicrobial Activities of Some Cationic Uracil Biocides Against Wide‐Spreading Bacterial Strains

“…That feature originates from the presence of polar groups (cationic, anionic or zwitterionic) and the presence of organic or hydrophobic chains. In addition to the large applications known for surfactant including detergency [2], emulsification [3], demulsification [4], metal flotation [5] and solubilization [6], cationic surfactants have applicability as biocides against bacteria [7], fungi and yeast [8]. The biocidal activity of the cationic surfactants was greatly developed in the last 20 years due to increase of self immunity for microorganisms toward the conventional biocides [9][10][11][12].…”

Emulsion Polymerization of Vinyl Acetate in the Presence of a New Cationic Surfactant

“…Many studies have been carried out to analyze the effect of the type and amount of surfactant in an emulsion polymerization, but almost all cases anionic or anionic and nonionic mixed emulsifier systems are used [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, the effect of the type and amount of cationic emulsifier in a cationic emulsion polymerization is reported in a few cases [15][16][17][18][19].…”
