Abstract
Photosensitive surfactant was prepared by incorporation of maleic anhy dride to natural rubber, followed by introduction of cinnamate groups and neutralization of the remaining carboxylic groups. The surfactant was used in emulsion polymerization of styrene and acrylic monomers, g iving rise to stable reactive emulsion. Coated onto HDPE, this emulsio n lead to solid films which were submitted to UV irradiation.
