Abstract

The study of the processes of latex film formation presents many challenges to the experimentalist. Each stage of film formation has specific requirements for any analytical technique.

In the drying stage, there is a need to measure water concentration at various positions laterally and through the depth of a wet film. Latex in the wet state precludes the use of techniques that require the sample to be held in a high vacuum, such as Auger spectroscopy or secondary ion mass spectrometry. Electron microscopy conventionally has a high vacuum in the sample chamber, and so it cannot be used in the standard way.
