Wd. He et Cy. Pan, Influence of reaction between second monomer and vinyl group of seed polysiloxane on seeded emulsion polymerization, J APPL POLY, 80(14), 2001, pp. 2752-2758
Seeded emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) or styrene (ST)
was carried in the presence of different vinyl-containing polysiloxane lat
ices (SV-*) and the core-shell particles with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PM
MA) or polystyrene (PST), as the shells were obtained under different polym
erization conditions. Besides the compatibility of the vinyl monomer and it
s polymer with polysiloxane and the reaction between vinyl monomer with vin
yl group of polysiloxane, the content of vinyl group of seed polysiloxane h
as influence on the morphology and component of the resulted composite part
icles. The mechanism for the formation of core-shell structure is discussed
