Synthesis of a Polydispersed Polybutadiene Latex. Direct Method for High-Solid Polybutadiene Emulsion Preparation

Influence of construction method of submicron polybutadiene particles on transparent methacrylate-acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin properties

“…One-step batch emulsion polymerization technology produces submicron polybutadiene latex particles with narrow particle size distribution by controlling the ionic strength of the emulsion and interfacial tension between the polymer and reaction medium in the latex particles. [21][22][23] Pressure agglomeration technology operates by passing small sized particles of polybutadiene latex through a homogenization valve with a narrow gap under high pressure. The latex particles are torn under high-pressure mechanical shearing force, where the latex quickly loses pressure after leaving the homogenization valve, and linear molecules of the rubber unprotected by the emulsifier quickly entangle together.…”
