ACRYLIC COPOLYMER EMULSION
[EIRI/EDPR/1411] (J.C.187)
INTRODUCTION
Acrylic emulsion polymers are used in large volumes as coatings finishes and binders for leather, inks and paper, as exterior and interior coatings in home and industry, and as adhesive, laminates, elastomers, plasticizers and floor polishes. Part success and future potential stems from their inherent stability, durability pigment binding characteristics and copolymerization versality. From this broad range, the synthesis chemist can tailor polymers composition and structure to meet customer application.
Copolymerization is an polymerization reaction in which two or more different monomers are converted into a homogenous polymeric product. First the composition of the copolymer depends upon the concentration of the monomer at the locus of reaction. Copolymerization is further complicated by the fact that the monomers polymerize at different rates.
Therefore the composition of copolymer will vary with the degree of conversion. Thus the polymers formed at the start of the copolymerization may contain a higher proportion of the more reactive monomers than those formed at the end of the polymerization. The polymerization rates are also affected by temperature.
To prepare copolymers of uniform composition, various procedures may be used. Some times more reactive monomer is added slowly during the polymerization. One of the advantages of emulsion polymerization is that high molecular weight polymers can be obtained by this method. Increasing the molecular weight of the polymer, increases toughness, scrab resistances, solvent resistance, chemical resistance etc.
