T. Hamaide et al., SYNTHESIS AND NMR CHARACTERIZATION OF NEW POLY(ETHOXYALKYL) MALEATES - SURFACTANTS FOR EMULSION POLYMERIZATION, Polymer bulletin, 33(2), 1994, pp. 133-139
Polymerizable surfactants derived from maleic anhydride have been synt
hesized. The hydrophilic part is obtained by a controlled ethylene oxi
de polymerization according to a new heterogeneous catalytic process.
Some maleates derivatives have been obtained and fully characterized b
y H-1 and C-13 NMR. Their cmc were also measured. Some of them have be
en engaged in styrene emulsion polymerization in which monodisperse la
tex particles have been produced.
