Abstract

The outcome of an emulsion copolymerization in terms of the intermolecular chemical composition distribution (CCD) for example strongly depends on the reactor type and the method of operation. It is demonstrated that homogeneous copolymers as well as copolymers with a bimodal CCD can be produced by seeded emulsion copolymerization of styrene and methyl acrylate in a series of CSTRs.
