AbstractAqueous suspensions of charged polymer latex particles exhibit several forms of ordered structure, the particular form depending on the size, number density and charge of the latex particles, and on the ionic strength of the aqueous medium. At low ionic strength, the inter-particle potential may become sufficiently long-ranged to generate crystalline order, which usually shows bcc symmetry at low density and becomes fcc above about 3% volume fraction of latex in the system. As the ionic strength increases, the crystalline structure melts, and ordered liquid structures develop. Light scattering may be used to study these structures at low density, but at higher density, where the opacity of the suspensions renders optical techniques intractable, neutron scattering must be used.This paper will review some of the recent small-angle neutron scattering experiments on polymer latex suspensions, in the light of new theoretical methods which permit in situ analysis of the particle size and charge. The discussion will also encompass new experimental methods for studying latex structures under dynamic shear conditions.

With the development of soft, film forming latexes for use in paints and other coatings applications, it became desirable to develop new methods of sample preparation for latex particle size distribution studies with the electron microscope. Conventional latex sample preparation techniques were inadequate due to the pronounced tendency of these new soft latex particles to distort, flatten and fuse on the substrate when they dried. In order to avoid these complications and obtain electron micrographs of undistorted latex particles of soft resins, a freeze-dry, cold shadowing technique was developed. The method has now been used in our laboratory on a routine basis for several years.The cold shadowing is done in a specially constructed vacuum system, having a conventional mechanical fore pump and oil diffusion pump supplying vacuum. The system incorporates bellows type high vacuum valves to permit a prepump cycle and opening of the shadowing chamber without shutting down the oil diffusion pump. A baffeled sorption trap isolates the shadowing chamber from the pumps.

SummaryA three-fold increase of protein synthesis by human platelets during in vitro phagocytosis of polystyrene latex particles was detected. During the first two hours of incubation, the percentage of phagocytizing platelets and the number of latex particles per platelet increased; by the end of the third hour, the first parameter remained stable, while the number of latex particles per cell had decreased.Vincristine (20 μg/ml of cell suspension) inhibited platelet protein synthesis. This effect was both time- and dose-dependent. The drug also caused a decrease in the number of phagocytizing cells, as well as in their phagocytotic activity.

Recent studies of polymers in solution and in bulk by energy transfer between two fluorescent labels are reviewed. Such studies are concerned with the equilibrium and dynamics of polymer chain expansion, molecular cluster formation in solution, the miscibility of polymers in bulk, and the interdiffusion of polymer latex particles.
