Copolymers, stabilization

New vinyl acetate—acrylate (VAA) emulsion copolymers stabilized with poly(vinyl alcohol) have been developed. The acryflc component of the VAAs contributes to improved compatibiUty with tackifiers (143).

This model was used in dispersion polymerization to predict the size of polymer particles stabilized through grafting on hydrophilic polymers such as PVPo. It provides a reasonable description of, for example, PVPo-stabilized polymerization of styrene in polar solvents. The present model does not apply to other types of dispersion polymerization where grafted comb or block copolymer stabilizers are active. The key controlling parameters in this model are the availability of graft and the minimum and maximum coverage, Qmin and Qmax.

As an example, iron(III) chloride hexahydrate was melted by heating above 37°C and miniemulsified in the continuous phase (IsoparM, cyclohexane, etc.) to a stable miniemulsion using at least 5 wt% (with respect to salt) of the block copolymer stabilizer. Decreasing the temperature leads to nanoscopic salt crystals dispersed in a continuous oil phase. The average size of these particles is about 350 nm, a typical number for inverse dispersions. 

The interaction potentials described in previous sections for adsorbing homopolymer and terminally anchored layers in good solvents clearly indicate the ability of polymers to stabilize colloidal dispersions against flocculation due to van der Waals dispersion forces. Indeed, the practice preceeded the analyses by centuries in some cases and decades in others, since the use of adsorbing polymers dates to ancient times, and block copolymer stabilizers emerged from industrial laboratories in the 1960s (Napper, 1983). 

The problem of complex formation of the copolymers stabilized by hydrogen bonds has been studied very insufficiently. Until recently, there have been available various data both on the complex formation in the maleic acid/styrene-poly(ethylene glycol) system71 and the matrix polymerization of acrylic acid with acrylamide of styrene copolymers in the presence of N-vinylpyrrolidone641.
