Abstract
Uniform polymer latices were first produced in the early 1950’s in the plants and laboratories of the Dow Chemical Company. Shortly thereafter, Alfrey, Bradford, Vanderhoff and Oster (1) described the iridescence exhibited by concentrated uniform latices, attributing it to long-range order. Luck et al. (2), studying Bragg diffraction of visible light from uniform latices, determined lattice parameters of the “supermolecular crystals” which were responsible for the observed diffraction peaks. Because their measured lattice parameters agreed closely with the diameters of their particles, Luck et al. attributed the ordering phenomenon to packing of the uniform spheres.
