The characterization of latex particles prepared by pulsed electron beam induced emulsion polymerization

► A 10 MeV 400 kGy/min LINAC was used to induce emulsion polymerization. ► Influences of monomer and emulsifier concentration on conversion were studied. ► Molecular weight and particle size of latex on the absorbed dose were studied. ► Resulting latex particles are porous. ► Various nucleation mechanisms co-exist during polymerization.
