Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Poly (VAC-VeoVa-HFMA-BZMA) Latex via Semicontinuous Seeded Emulsion Polymerization

Аннотация

The novel poly (VAC-VeoVa-HFMA-BZMA) latex was successfully prepared via semicontinuous seeded emulsion polymerization which vinyl acetate (VAc) and vinyl ester of neodecanoic acid (VeoVa10) were main monomer, hexafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFMA) and benzyl methacrylate (BZMA) were used as functional monomer. Dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid sodium (SDBS), octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (OP-10) and potassium persulfate (KPS) were used to be mixed emulsifier and initiator, respectively. The structure of the resultant latex is determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum (FTIR). The thermal performances of latex film are studied via the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The average particle size of the latex is characterized by the dynamic light scattering(DLS).Water contact angle (WCA) is used to test the wetting property of the novel poly (VAC-VeoVa-HFMA-BZMA) latex film. The condition of synthesizing the latex was studied in detail. The optimum condition of preparing the novel latex is that the amount of emulsifier is 8.0% (wt %) and the mass ratio of SDBS to OP-10 is 2 : 1 and the mass ratio of main monomer VAc to VeoVa10 is 3 : 1. The amount of initiator is 0.8% and the amounts of HFMA and BZMA are 6.0 and 8.0% (wt %), respectively. Results indicate that the water resistance of the latex film and thermal stability are improved when the fluorine and BZMA monomers are added.
