Abstract

Polymer nanoparticles were prepared from monomers such as styrene (St), butyl methacrylate (BMA), butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and methyl acrylate (MA) using a modified microemulsion polymerization process. With this process high polymer: surfactant weight ratios (7 : 1 or greater), relatively concentrated (10–30 wt.-%) latexes and small (10–20 nm) particle diameters were attained. Nucleation mechanisms were investigated through observations of the particle size change during the polymerization.
