Methods of Latex Cleaning

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Polymer Colloids

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 2))

Abstract

Latexes or polymer colloids are systems comprised of colloidal dispersions of submicron polymer particles in aqueous medium. The latex system usually contains a number of other ingredients, such as electrolytes due to residual initiator and its decomposition products, and buffer which are soluble in the aqueous phase; emulsifier molecules which are soluble in the aqueous phase and adsorbed at the particles surface; oligomers and/or water soluble polymers which are soluble in the aqueous phase and adsorbed at the particles surface; and ionic or nonionic end-groups which are chemically bound to the surface of the particles or buried inside the particles as a result of the initiator fragments and/or functional-containing monomers used in the polymerization process. Some of these ingredients are added in the original polymerization recipe such as initiator and emulsifier molecules; others are generated during the course of the polymerization process such as oligomers, functional-containing water-soluble polymers and surface end-groups on the particles; still others are added as post-polymerization additives such as emulsifiers and/or water-soluble polymers.
