Polymerization of vinyl acetate in aqueous media. Part III. Distribution of free monomer and its effect upon the particle size of poly(vinyl acetate) latices

The distribution of the monomer vinyl acetate between an aqueous phase and its polymer (the latter in the form of a latex) has been measured at 20 and 40°C. The diameter of particles in a fine poly(vinyl acetate) latex has been measured in the presence of various concentrations of monomer in the aqu...

Description
Summary:The distribution of the monomer vinyl acetate between an aqueous phase and its polymer (the latter in the form of a latex) has been measured at 20 and 40°C. The diameter of particles in a fine poly(vinyl acetate) latex has been measured in the presence of various concentrations of monomer in the aqueous phase, by means of the analytical ultracentrifuge. Comparison of the diameters so measured with those calculated from the distribution data show quite reasonable agreement (
