Abstract

Artificial latices are produced by the dispersion or redispersion of solid polymers in an appropriate medium. In the present state of latex technology, the dispersion medium is exclusively aqueous. Artificial latices have been of some industrial interest for many years. Notwithstanding this, they have never attained the level of industrial application which has been enjoyed by natural and synthetic latices. As will appear subsequently, artificial latices are not easy to prepare. Attempts are made to produce them only if the polymer cannot be conveniently produced as a synthetic latex, or if it is not available as a natural latex. If latices of such polymers are required, then they must be produced by dispersion of the bulk polymer. As a generalization, the problems associated with the production and application of artificial latices are tolerable only if the dispersed polymer offers some special properties, and only if it is particularly advantageous to manufacture the desired product from a latex rather than from the polymer in bulk. Quite apart from the difficulties associated with their production and utilization, artificial latices suffer from two important fundamental disadvantages relative to synthetic latices: the methods of preparation available at present are such that it is not possible to produce artificial latices which contain structured particles; and it is not possible conveniently to produce functionalized artificial latices, unless the initial bulk polymer is already functionalized.
