Abstract

Abstract Summary: In this study, the results obtained with latexes prepared by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization with conventional anionic and nonionic emulsifiers and their different mixtures were presented. For this study, vinyl acetate‐butyl acrylate latexes with a conventional anionic emulsifier (sodium lauril ether sulfate) and a nonionic emulsifier (30 mole nonyl phenol ethoxylate), of which films can be easily cast, were used. The latex properties in terms of mechanical stability, film‐water absorption, and film‐emulsifier exudation, and surface and electrical properties were assessed and compared.
