Wavelength Exponent Based Calibration for Turbidity Spectroscopy: Monitoring the Particle Size During Emulsion Polymerization Reactions
Journal of colloid and interface science(2023)
摘要
Particle size and particle size distribution (PSD) are important properties of polymer latexes because they strongly affect the film formation and the rheological properties of the latexes. Thus, monitoring the particle size is of paramount importance during the production of waterborne polymeric dispersions, for which online/inline measurements of the particle size are required. Herein, turbidity spectroscopy (TUS) is used to measure the particle size of nanoparticles in dispersed media. Calibration curves based on a modified wavelength exponent method are introduced and assessed to monitor the evolution of a broad range of particle sizes in seeded semibatch emulsion polymerizations of methyl methacrylate, butyl acrylate, methacrylic acid (MMA/BA/MAA 51/47/2) terpolymers. It is shown that the wavelength exponent based calibration curves can be successfully used to retrieve the particle size during the polymerization process.
