Abstract: In this article, allylglycerdyl ether sulfosalt(AGES), a novel copolymerizable monomer containing not only the reactive vinyl bond, but also groups of sulforous and hydroxyl having the role of emulsifier was synthesized and used in the MMA/BA emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. Particle size and flowing behavior of the latexes, as well as dynamic mechanical properties of the resulted copolymers were investigated. The results show that with the addition of AGES, the latex particles are about 0.5 μm in diameter and are evenly distributed; stable latexes of high solid content(60%), low viscosity with the characteristic of plastic Non-New ton flowing behavior is obtained. In addition, all the polymerization systems undergo a typical random copolymerization.
