    Notes: The dominant species in the early stages of an emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene has been found to be an oligomer of two to three monomer units using a novel trapping technique. This involved the intercalation of charged primary oligomers between the layers of a hydrotalcite, [Mg4Al2(OH)12]2+[A]2- (where A = dianion). Hydrotalcites are an important class of lamellar, inorganic compounds whose interlayer spacing can be mod-ified by anion exchange. Our approach first involved preparing a hydrotalcite precursor in which the layers were propped apart by an organic dianion (terephthalate = TA). This material was then used to capture the negatively charged polystyrene oligomers from the emulsion polymerization reaction mixture. We found that TA was rapidly ion-exchanged for the charged oligomers.The resulting pillared hydrotalcite material was characterized using XRD and SEC. We found that the interlayer spacing between the hydroxide layers increased to 23.2 Å on exposure to the emulsion reaction mixture. This represents an interlayer expansion of 18.3 Å (after subtraction of the hydroxide layer contribution), which is cnsistent with intercalation of oligomers with two to three monomer units arranged in a bilayer. This size estimate was confirmed by the results of size exclusion chromatography. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The basic features of a three-step experimental process to produce supermicron polymer particles are described. First, a submicron emulsifier-free latex is prepared by a well-known technique. Second, the latex is aggregated by destabilizing with cetyl pyridinium chloride under constant stirring conditions, to yield roughly spherical clusters of 6-12 μ diameter. Third, the aggregates are stabilized with poly(vinyl alcohol) and internally coalesced by heating at or above the glass transition temperature. The final product particles have relatively smooth surfaces. Results are qualitatively interpreted in terms of a dynamic equilibrium where the aggregate size is determined by a balance between attractive interparticle potentials and stirring shear forces. Bimodal aggregate size distributions suggest the aggregate break-up mechanism may involve the erosion of individual latex particles and small fragments from the surface of aggregates. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
