A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF AQUEOUS DISPERSIONS OF LATEX PARTICLES HAVING A HETEROGENEOUS MORPHOLOGY, THE LATEX PARTICLES OBTAINABLE WITH THE PROCESS, THE DISPERSIONS AND REDISPERSIBLE POWDERS, AS WELL AS THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of aqueous dispersions of latex particles having a heterogeneous morphology by a semicontinuous emulsion polymerization, comprising the emulsion polymerizing of ethylenically unsaturated (co)monomers, accompanied by, the addition of cationic and/or anionic and/or nonionic emulsifiers and/or protective colloids as stabilizers, which are directly used as such or synthesized in situ, the semicontinuous emulsion polymerization being performed in the presence of the stabilizer or stabilizers with a monomer mixture, which a) contains at least one nonionic, ethylenically unsaturated monomer with a glass transition temperature Tg above about 30° C. in a quantity of about 10 to 70 wt. %, based on the total weight of ethylenically unsaturated (co)monomers and b) at least one hydrophilic, ethylenically unsaturated monomer in a quantity of about 5 to 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of ethylenically unsaturated (co)monomers.
