Abstract
The surface active properties of polyester surfactants on latexes of v ariable composition are reported. The method of soap titration was use d to analyze surfactant efficiency and effectiveness. Adsorption isoth erms were also generated for five polyesters on poly(styrene), poly(st yrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) [1:1 weight ratio], and poly(methyl me thacrylate) latex. The polyester composition varied in the amount of c harged species and the structure of the glycol units. Seeded semiconti nuous polymerizations were performed with the polyester surfactants an d related to the adsorption behavior of the polyesters.
