Nitroxide‐Mediated Controlled Free‐Radical Emulsion Polymerization of Styrene and <i>n</i>‐Butyl Acrylate with a Water‐Soluble Alkoxyamine as Initiator

Abstract

Latex: Nitroxide-mediated emulsion polymerizations of n-butyl acrylate and styrene were successfully carried out in a multistep process, with a novel water-soluble SG1-based alkoxyamine as initiator. Fast reactions lead to stable latex particles containing polymers with controlled molar masses.
