P. Favresse et A. Laschewsky, A new anionic, hydrolysis-resistant polymerizable surfactant: synthesis and polymerization, COLLOID P S, 277(8), 1999, pp. 792-797
The synthesis and some surfactant properties of a new type of sulfonated an
ionic monomer which is useful for free-radical polymerization are described
. The monomer is based on the isobutenyl moiety as a reactive group. Higher
homologues behave as polymerizable surfactants ("surfmers"). Copolymerizat
ion with a number of standard monomers is possible, as well as homopolymeri
zation under micellar conditions.
