Abstract: Emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of β-hydroxy propyl acrylate was studied.Monomer conversion is higher than 90% when [St], [β-HPA], [KPS] is 2.66, 0.228, and 5.8×10-3 mol/Lrespectively under 80℃ for 5 h.The mono-dispersed latex particle diameter and colloidal particle concentration were given as D=0.23 μm, N=3.13× 1013/cm3 by TEManalyse.The factors of influencing latex stability were discussed.The copoly-mer was characterized by IRand dissolution experiment.The self-cross linked mechanism was also discussed.The apparent activation energy of polymerization and polymerization rate constant were obtained to be 78.7 kJ/mol and 514.3 L/mol · s respectively.
