Abstract

Mini-emulsified lateres of anionically polymerized deuterated and protonated polystyrene (DPS=185 000, HPS= 00 000) were prepared by direct mini-emulsification. Films containing 6% deuterated particle were annealed at 144 o C for various periods of time. The average depth of penetration of the deuterated polystyrene chains and tensile strength buildup were characterized during the course of annealing. When the present results were compared with those of the conventional emulsion polymerized system, the directly mini-emulsified later had greater interdiffusion rates and higher tensile strength than the emulsion polymerized latex system at similar annealing times
