Process for making ionic structured particle latexes using reactive polymeric surfactants.

摘要

Structured particle latexes are prepared by emulsion polymerizing monomeric materials in aqueous media in one or more stages wherein in at least one of the stages a reactive polymeric surfactant is used. The resulting latex contains nonionic particles to which are bound the reactive polymeric surfactant which forms a layer containing stabilizing anionic or cationic groups such as sulfonic, sulfonium, quaternary ammonium, or sulfonate groups chemically bound at or near the surface of the polymer particles dispersed in the aqueous media. These latexes are particularly suitable for beater additives, coatings and composite binders.
