High solid content poly (styrene-co-butyl acrylate) latex ( with 20% and 40% solid content) including high amounts of Cloisite 30B (7 wt% and 10 wt%) were kinetically investigated. Gravimetric method via measuring the rate of polymerization, number of particles and average number of radicals per particle was used. Results showed that by increasing the solid content; the average diameter of poly...

w       ater born poly(styrene-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposite latexes were synthesized by a novel initiating system of activators generated by   electron transfer (aget) in a system of atom transfer radical polymerization   (atrp). initially, the clay was swelled in a mixture of styrene, butyl acrylate,   and hexadecane. the mixture was then sonicated to obtain a stable miniemulsion. to   s...
