Notes:
Saturated emulsifying polyesters (EPE's) with terminal carboxyl groups were prepared by melt condensation from 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-butanediol, phthalic acid, and adipic acid. The EPE's were characterized by molar mass, acid number, and hydroxyl number. Micelle formation of the EPE in the neutralized state was studied. The critical micelle concentration of the EPE is influenced by chain structure, chain length, temperature, and presence of electrolyte. A monomer mixture of styrene/unsaturated polyester (1 : 1 by wt.) was solubilized with different EPE's. On addition of NaHCO3 and NaCl the monomer mixture is optimally solubilized at a distinct concentration of electrolyte. At the optimal electrolyte concentration the solubilization of the monomer mixture is influenced by chain structure and chain length of the EPE.
