Abstract
Even in neutralized form, VA–AA-copolymers and their emulsions in water can undergo various modification reactions, either catalyzed by acids or bases. These modification reactions have been carried out either to probe the reaction mechanism, to generate a desired product, and/or as a condition for an application that could use the VA–AA-based emulsion copolymers.
