Abstract
The kinetics of the high solids content emulsion terpolymerization of vinyl acetate, methyl methacrylate, and butyl acrylate were investigat ed. The effect of feed flow rate, total amount of emulsifier, distribu tion of emulsifier between the initial charge and the feed, concentrat ion of initiator, and solids content on the time evolution of the conv ersion, terpolymer composition, and total number of polymer particles were investigated. The experimental results were analyzed by means of a mathematical model that incorporated the main features of the system . (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
