Abstract
The seeded microemulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate was studied with gamma-rays. The hydrodynamic diameter and its distribution of pol ymer particles in the seeded microemulsion before and after polymeriza tion were determined with photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS). Thoug h there were micelles in the microemulsion, it was found that new part icle formation could be ignored during polymerization. The polymerizat ion kinetics of the seeded microemulsion was investigated. The polymer ization rate increases with the dose rate and added monomer content an d decreases with the seed fraction. It was completely different from t hat for seeded emulsion polymerization. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, In c.
