CO2‐Redispersible Polymer Latexes with Low Glass Transition Temperatures
Abstract
In this work, acrylic latexes are prepared through surfactant‐free emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA). CO 2 ‐responsive 2‐(diethyl)aminoethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA) is used as a co‐monomer. The resulting latexes can be easily coagulated by adding a small amount of caustic soda. Once washed, coagulated particles could be redispersed into water to prepare stable latexes with CO 2 and ultrasonication. CO 2 …
