Abstract
AbstractA series of polymeric emulsifiers was polymerized with 2‐ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. The polymeric emulsifiers were used to make emulsion copolymers of 2‐ethylhexyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and acrylic acid. The average particle size of the synthesized emulsions was around 145 nm and the size distribution was very narrow. Also, the emulsions showed good freeze–thaw stability and adhesion properties. The peel strength and holding power of the emulsions were investigated by changing the composition and molecular weight of the polymeric emulsifier. The results show that the peel strength exhibits a maximum at particular molecular weight and acrylic acid content of the polymeric emulsifier, while the holding power increases with molecular weight. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
