Investigating the effective parameters on the particle size distribution ofemulsion polymerization of methylmethacrylate

In this study, the effect of surfactant, monomer and crosslinker concentration on particle size andparticle size distribution (PSD) in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) emulsion polymerization wasinvestigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), andfield emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the particle sizedistribution. PMMA latex particles with nanometer diameter and narrow PSD were synthesized.Varying different polymerization parameters showed that the particle size could be adjusted andenabled the synthesis of different particle sizes for different applications..
