Abstract
AbstractTwo published theoretical models for film formation from latices contain errors. These are corrected and new values of the criteria for film formation derived. In Brown's model the error is quite small (less than an order of magnitude) but for Vanderhoff's model the error completely invalidates the analysis. A new model is proposed in which the criterion for film formation is that the latex particles are liquid—a condition fulfilled above the polymer's glass transition temperature.
