Emulsion Polymerisation and Latex Applications

Latexes are currently under going extensive research and development as key replacement materials for many solvent-based systems. They are being used in a broad range of fields from adhesives, inks, paints, coatings, drug delivery systems, medical assay kits, gloves, paper coatings, floor polish, films, carpet backing and foam mattresses to cosmetics. Latex is also used to improve properties, for example as an impact modifier in polystyrene and to improve tensile properties in cement. Currently, more than 8 million dry metric tons of latex are produced globally each year. Natural rubber latex.

Latex is also used to improve properties, for example as an impact modifier in polystyrene and to improve tensile properties in cement. Currently, more than 8 million dry metric tons of latex are produced globally each year. Natural rubber latex is only one of the many types of latex currently in use. The term latex covers emulsion polymers, polymer dispersions and polymer colloids. Latexes are liquids (typically aqueous) in which microscopic polymer particles are dispersed. They are formed by the polymerisation of monomer emulsions. Solvent-based latexes do exist, but have limited applications. However, the use of organic solvents in latexes is discouraged for environmental reasons. In fact, the desire to discontinue the use of solvent-based polymer solutions has been a major driving force for the development of water-based latexes. The technology and science of emulsion polymerisation are described clearly and succinctly in this review from two authors who are at the forefront of latex research and development. The text is referenced extensively to permit further reading on this subject. Quality control is an important feature. The different tests and analytical methods used on latex polymers are discussed. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject. A subject index and a company index are included."
