Latex particles of ethyl acrylate-methacrylic acid copolymers prepared by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization with a monomer emulsion feed were found to disintegrate into smaller subparticles on alkalization. The phenomenon observed by light scattering and scanning electron microscopy is explained in terms of heterogeneous structure of latex particles which are agglomerates of small particles formed by coagulation during polymerization. The influence of particle size and polymerization route on particle heterogenity is discussed.

Non-seeded semi-continuous emulsion copolymerizations of ethyl acrylate-methacrylic acid (85/15 wt. ratio) were carried out using various emulsifier and initiator concentrations and phase partitioning. The effect of the polymerization conditions on the particle size and morphology was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy, light scattering and viscometry. Disintegration into smaller particles on alkali addition confirmed coagulative mechanism of the particle growth. This is distinct mainly if the colloidal stability of the polymerizing system is reduced due to lower concentration of the emulsifier and higher concentration of peroxydisulfate initiator which suppress double layer thickness of forming particles.
