Abstract: | A comprehensive investigation of aqueous microemulsion polymerization of butyl acrylate at high surfactant concentrations by means of reaction calorimetry and dynamic light scattering revealed unexpected results with regard to polymerization kinetics and colloidal properties of the final latexes. Particularly, with increasing surfactant concentrations, a decrease in the overall rate of polymerization accompanied by an increasing incubation time of the polymerization and increasing average particle sizes in the final latexes has been observed. Based on reviewing former results on microemulsions and microemulsion polymerizations published in the open literature and the presentation of new experimental results an attempt is made to explain the experimental results consistently with a particle nucleation mechanism based on the classical nucleation theory.
