Abstract

In this paper, we studied the influence of the amount of alkyl glycosides emulsifier, reaction temperature and the amount of initiator on emulsion polymerization kinetics. The results show that when we apply the new alkyl glycosides emulsifier in acrylic emulsion polymerization, the relationship between polymerization rate Rp and emulsifier concentration [S] is Rp∝[S]0.70 and the correlation coefficient is 0.93; the relationship between polymerization rate Rp and the initiator concentration [I] is Rp∝[I]1.00 and the correlation coefficient is 0.86; the apparent activation energy of polymerization is 32.34KJ/mol and the correlation coefficient is 0.93. We got good results after applying the new type emulsifier in acrylic emulsion polymerization.
