Toughening of polystyrene by natural rubber-based composite particles: Part II Influence of the internal structure of PMMA and PS-grafted core-shell particles
This work was focused on the influence of the internal structure of natural rubber (NR)-based core-shell particles on the toughness of polystyrene (PS). Several emulsion polymerization processes were used to c...

Toughening of polystyrene by natural rubber-based composite particles: Part I Impact reinforcement by PMMA and PS grafted core-shell particles
This work was focused on the influence of the morphology of composite natural rubber (NR)-based particles on the toughness of polystyrene (PS). Emulsion polymerization processes were used to adjust the microst...

Toughening of polystyrene by natural rubber-based composite particles: Part III Fracture mechanisms
Impact testing has allowed the toughness of PS blends to be correlated with the morphology of the dispersed rubber phase, which was a natural rubber (NR) in particle form, coated with a shell of polystyrene (P...

FTIR-ATR spectroscopic determination of the distribution of surfactants in latex films
FTIR-ATR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red-Attenuated Total Reflection) has been used to analyze the surface composition of coalesced acrylic latex films. The behavior of two anionic surfactants has been characteri...
