Abstract
Wholly non-charged, sterically stabilized aqueous polymer dispersions are made by emulsifying ethylenically unsaturated monomer(s) of specified slight solubility in water and subjecting them in that state to polymerization in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and a non-ionic water-soluble activator compound and also in the presence of a steric stabilizer precursor compound containing a polymer chain which is soluble in the aqueous phase and an unsaturated grouping which can copolymerize with the monomer(s). The emulsification may be assisted by a conventional non-ionic surfactant, or alternatively the precursor compound may itself possess surface-active properties.
