Abstract
It is noted that emulsion polymerizations lend themselves to many procedural variations. In context of the seeded procedures, a small quantity of the monomer is polymerized by an emulsion technique. According to the theory of emulsion polymerization, the surfactant concentration in the substrate fixes the number of particles formed. When more monomer is added to such an emulsion, the existing particles pick up the new monomer and become larger in diameter. This chapter illustrates seeded emulsion terpolymerization of vinyl acetate, butyl acrylate, and vinyl neodecanoate with gradual monomer and initiator additions. The chapter also describes the composition, safety precautions, apparatus, reagents and materials, and procedure as implicated in emulsion polymerization technique.
