Abstract
This paper describes the synthesis of an amphiphilic polyester polyurethane and its use as a stabilizer for the aqueous heterophase polymerization of styrene. The polymerization process was investigated using dilatometry and reaction calorimetry methods. The polyurethane proved to be an efficient st abilizer in the heterophase polymerization of styrene.
