Ia. Gritskova et al., ORGANOSILICON SURFACTANTS AS STABILIZERS OF PARTICLES IN POLYSTYRENE SUSPENSIONS, Colloid journal of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 57(1), 1995, pp. 25-28
Data on the stability of particles in polystyrene suspensions, synthes
ized in the presence of organosilicon surfactants of various nature, a
s well as data on the diameters and particle-size distribution are pre
sented. An increase in hydrophobicity for the surfactants investigated
was shown to enhance the stability of the particles in suspension and
result in a more narrow diameter distribution.
