Notes:
The emulsion polymerization of large MMA/BA copolymer particles with narrow particle size distributions and core-shell structure is described. A series of sequential seeded growth emulsion polymerizations were used to obtain monodisperse particles with diameters of at least 3 μm, at 30% solids contents. Because the core and shell polymers used here were chemically similar, core-shell structures could not be verified by differential staining tech-niques. Core-shell structure was demonstrated by minimum film-forming temperature studies and by scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with energy dispersive x-ray analysis, using chlorine-labeled core polymers. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
