Abstract
The self-crosslinking polyacrylate latex was prepared via the semi-continuous seed emulsion
polymerization technology that methyl methacrylate(MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA)were used as
the main monomers and hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) and monobutylitaconate (MBI)
were used as the modified monomers and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was used as the
crosslinked monomer which were emulsified with the environmentally friendly mixed surfactant
of the isomeric triethylene (9) ether (E-1309) and the lauryl polyoxyethylene ether sulfosuccinate
disodium salt (MES-30). The resultant latex and its film is characterized by Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), laser particle sizer, contact
angle determinator. The comparison of thermal stability between the resultant latex and
conventional latex is carried out via the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Factors, which have
an influence on the properties of the resultant latex and the emulsion polymerization, are studied
in detail. Results indicate that the thermal decomposition temperature of the latex film was
increased from 336.9 °C to 370.1 °C The contact angle of the latex film is 82.9 ° owing to the
introduction of GMA and MBI.
