摘要: 以苯乙烯(St)为单体、十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)为乳化剂、过硫酸钾(KPS)为引发剂,重点研究了该乳液聚合体系中乳化剂浓度([S])对胶束成核和沉淀成核的影响规律。结果表明,当SDS浓度高于CMC时([S]≥ 8mmol/L),体系的成核以胶束成核为主;当[S]=2mmol/L时,体系的成核以沉淀成核为主;当2mmol/L<[S]< 8mmol/L时,体系同时以沉淀成核和胶束成核两种方式成核,且胶束成核所占的比例随着SDS浓度的增加而增大。研究了聚合反应过程中SDS浓度对单位体积水中乳胶粒个数(Np)的影响规律:当[S]≥8mmol/L时,Np∝[S]0.9;当[S]<8mmol/L时,Np∝[S]0.8。

Abstract: Formulation of latex with styrene (St),potassium persulfate (KPS) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was investigated as a function of SDS surfactant concentration [S] to explore its nucleation mechanism. The results showed that micellar nucleation dominated the nucleation process when the concentration of SDS was ≥ 8 mmol/L; while,precipitation nucleation dominated the process at 2mmol/L. From 2mmol/L to 8mmol/L,both micellar nucleation and precipitation worked; and the contribution of micellar nucleation increased with the increase of the concentration of SDS. Additionally,the particle number of latex was calculated:Np∝[S]0.9 when [S] was ≥8mmol/L; Np∝[S]0.8 when 8mmol/L≥[S]≥2mmol/L.
