Description

Emulsion of chloroprene, acrylic acid, styrene, n-butyl methacrylate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers mixed with sodium lauryl sulfate as an emulsifier were polymerized or copolymerized in a flow system for control of temperature and for mixing of the emulsion under irradiation. Electron beams of a dose rate of 0.1 to 10 Mrad/s was used as a radiation source to produce very fine particle emulsions. Significant decreases in particle diameter were noted for polymers aged for as much as 5 weeks
