Core‐Fed Methacrylic Acid in Soft‐Core/Hard‐Shell Acrylic Latex: Effects on Colloidal Stability and Waterborne Film Properties
Methacrylic acid (MAA) is commonly incorporated into the surface region of waterborne acrylic latex particles, where it contributes to surface charge and interparticle interactions. In this study, MAA was introduced solely through the core monomer feed to investigate hows its incorporation at this stage affects pol...
