Preparation and Property Studies of Core-Shell Structure Polyacrylate Microspheres for Plastisol

摘要

Soft-core/hard-shell polyacrylate latex with different cross-linking degree and shell thickness were prepared by semi-continuous seed emulsion copolymerization .The size, size distribution and morphology of latex particles were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The properties of plastisol were investigated by testing their dynamic viscoelasticity and storage stability as well as the mechanical properties. The results showed that the latex particles always keep regular spherical structure throughout the polymerization process; Dynamic viscoelasticity of plasticized system with different cross-linking degree however had little changed. The mechanical properties of the plastigels could be improved by increasing the thickness of shell.
