The kinetics of emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene were investigated in the
presence of two amino-containing monomers, aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride
(AEMH) and vinyl benzyl amine hydrochloride (VBAH), using 2, 2-azobis (2-
amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V50) as a cationic initiator. At first the partition coefficient
of AEMH and VBAH in a water–styrene mixture were measured, indicating a strong
hydrophilicity for both monomers; kinetics of solution homopolymerization, as followed by 1H …

The colloidal and surface properties of copolymer latex particles prepared by batch
emulsifier‐free emulsion polymerization of styrene with two different amino‐containing
monomers (Amino Ethyl Methacrylate Hydrochloride (AEMH) and Vinyl Benzyl Amine
Hydrochloride (VBAH)), and 2, 2′‐azobis (2‐amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (V50) as
initiator were investigated. The final particle size was found to decrease with increasing the
functional monomer concentration. Different titration methods were used to quantify the …
