Abstract
The paper describes the synthesis of polymer emulsions of methylmethac rylate-methylacrylate, methylmethacrylate-ethylacrylate, and methylmet hacrylate-2-ethylhexylacrylate systems by different monomer feed metho ds. The minimum film formation temperatures of the emulsions were dete rmined. The morphology of the latex particles was observed by electron microscopy. It was found that the effects of monomer feed methods and the hydrophilicity of the monomers on both the morphology of the late x particles and the minimum film formation temperatures of their emuls ions are significant.
