Science and Technology of Polymer Colloids G. W. Poehlein, R. H.
Ottewill, J. W. Goodwin (editors) Polymer colloids, more commonly
known as latexes, are important in the manufacture of synthetic
elastomers, commodity polymers, surface coatings, adhesive and
numerous specialty products. The significant growth of the
commercial production of polymer latexes during the past decade has
been due to a number of factors. First, water-based systems,
especially paints and coatings, avoid many of the environ mental
problems associated with the solvent-based systems. Second, polymer
colloid products can be custom designed to meet a wide range of
application requirements. Third, large scale emulsion polymeri
zation proceeds smoothly and controllably with a wide range of
monomers to produce stable polymer colloids of high molecular
weight Polymer colloids are also important in functional scientific
studies This importance arises from the spherical shape of the
particles, range of attainable particle diameters and the
uniformity of their size distribution, and the possibility of
controlling and character izing the particle surface. Polymer
colloids are useful as size standards in microscopy and in
instrument calibration, and as carriers in antibody-enzyme
diagnosti, tests. As suspensions of uniform spherical particles,
they are idea. experimental systems to test the series of colloidal
phenomena as stability and coagulation, electric kinetic or
rheological proper ties, and light scattering. In recent years,
polymer colloids have received attention as models for many-body
molecular phenomena, including the order-disorder transitions and
the mechanics of crystalline phases."
