Abstract
The surface structure of latex dispersion films was examined with an atomic force microscope. All measurements were done in air on latex films having a minimum film formation temperature of 12°C and a glass transition temperature of 18°C. One aim of this study was to follow structural changes during film formation. Three minutes after spreading the film, its surface layer dried. Afterwards, the structure of the film did not change anymore. Only after 4 months could structural changes be observed: Though individual latex particles could be identified, the particles partly melted into one another.
