Magnetic latex particles morphologies

The effect of the amount of surfactant SDS, hydrophobe hexadecane, iron oxide magnetic particles, MAA and non-ionic cellulose ether, hydroxyethylcellulose, on the magnetic latex morphology, surface quality and size distribution was studied by Forcada et al. for the encapsulation of magnetic particles by miniemulsion polymerization of St. Optimal conditions were 2-3% of SDS, 9-12% of hexadecane, 10% of iron oxide and 2% of HEC, relative to the total amount of St and iron oxide [177].
