Polymerization of chloroprene

摘要

A latex of chloroprene polymer is produced without using an emulsifier, which comprises polymerizing chloroprene by free radical polymerization, in an aqueous medium in the presence of 0.2 - 10 wt.% of styrene sulfonic acid or a derivative thereof, based on the total monomers added to the system. In a preferred embodiment the quantity of chloroprene added is 0.5 to 50% wt.
