Abstract
Environmentally friendly acrylic emulsions are formed by co-polymerizing Diol Amide derived from soybean oil with Maleic Anhydride and Phthalic Anhydride through an emulsion polymerization reaction. The anionic surfactants used are Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Sodium Laury} Sulfate. Two different initiators can be used: Potassium Persulfate and Sodium Bisulfite. This synthesis is a "one pot" reaction, in which all ingredients used are also stay with the product with no hazardous by-products to dispose of. The anionic surfactant (soap) is used in excess to ensure the maximum amounts of micelles to be present, in which polymerization takes place. The emulsion polymerization reaction is conducted between so0c and 85 ° C in distilled water. The acrylic emulsion are then stabilized with Ammonium Hydroxide to a pH range of 8-12.
