Two reactive shells were polymerized on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) spheres to improve the compatibility of the spheres with a paint binder. By adjusting the buoyancy of the polymerization medium, PMMA, retroreflective spheres with an average di

This study addresses the question of how polymer phase separation takes place during polymerization reactions within composite latex particles. Experiments resulted in acrylic/styrene latices with two-phase structures that were analyzed via TEM. Thos

Starve feeding of monomers is often used in an attempt to control latex particle morphology, especially when non-equilibrium structures are desired. For the case of a polar seed polymer and a non-polar second stage polymer, we have analyzed the relat

Experiments were performed to determine how the partitioning of surfactant between two different polymer surfaces in a latex is dependent on the nature of the polymers and their relative surface areas. Titrations of individual latices and latex blend

Elastic forces within very lightly cross-linked seed latex particles are able to compete with interfacial forces to influence latex particle morphology. At higher levels of cross-linking the elastic forces dominate those at the interfaces. PMMA seed
