Control of particle size distribution for the synthesis of small particle size high solids content latices

摘要

It is well known that the key to obtain high solids content latices with low viscosity is the control of the particle size distribution (PSD). The particles in a perfectly mono-disperse latex will enter into contact at solids contents of approximately 64wt%. This explains why most industrial processes with relatively narrow particle size distribution usually operate at less than 55 wt% of solid content.
