Abstract
Four kinds of oxyethylene methacrylates having different oxyethylene chain lengths were copolymerized with styrene in soap-free media. Copolymerization using longer oxyethylene chain-carrying monomer formed smoother and smaller, but highly hydrated latex particles. Stability of latices also depended on the oxyethylene chain length. The stability of latices composed of long-chain oxyethylene methacrylates changed with temperature and they showed reversible transition between dispersion and flocculation by changing temperature.
