Core-Shell Polymers with Improved Mechanical Properties Prepared by Microemulsion Polymerization 

 -  Macromolecules, 32(20), p.6767-6771, 1999 .
<br/><br/> The synthesis of core-shell polymers of styrene and butyl acrylate by a two-stage microemulsion polymerization process is reported. The microemulsion polymerization was optimized by adding more monomer in a semicontinuous fashion to the latex resulting from the polymerization of the parent microemulsion to produce a high-solid-content polystyrene latex (ca. 40
