520 3 _aStructured polymer latex particles are prepared by a swelling emulsion polymerization process, in which the initial particles are ®rst swollen by ethylenically unsaturated monomers and the polymerization of the latter is then carried out. This special polymerization process leads to multi-phase particle morphology. Instead of a thermodynamically more favorable large-scale phase-separation, we obtain multiple, near-spherical domains dispersed within the particles. TEM analysis after selective staining reveals the size and distribution of the microdomains. Dynamic mechanical analysis of the polymer ®lms con®rms the absence of a distinct, large second phase and indicates that such microdomains interfere at the molecular level with the segmental mobility of the dispersing phase. We present examples of soft polymers as the continuous phase and hard polymers as the dispersed phase. The inclusion of hard microdomains into soft continuous phase increases dramatically both the ®lms tensile strength and elongation, which means improved cohesive strength of the polymer material. The increase in tensile strength of the polymer ®lm correlates directly with the hardness of the dispersed phase. Improvement in tensile strength and elongation is important in a number of industrial applications of polymers, such as ¯exible coatings, coalescent-free paints and pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). Examples are presented which demonstrate the potential applications of the swelling emulsion polymerization process.
