MACROMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY AND POLYMERIC MATERIALS Influence of the Synthesis Conditions of Emulsion Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) on the Surface Structure of the Specimens

The surface structure of poly(methyl methacrylate) specimens prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate was examined in relation to the synthesis conditions (pH of the medium, initiator concentration, and addition of organosilicon compounds).
