Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing caoutchouc particles (K) by means of emulsion polymerisation in the presence of an emulsifier and a polymerisation initiator. Said particles contain A) 80 to 100 wt. % of one or more conjugated diene monomers (A) in relation to (K) and B) 0 to 20 wt. % of one or more monoethylenically unsaturated comonomers (B) in relation to (K) in the polymerised form. The inventive method is characterised in that 1) a mixture (M ) containing water and an emulsifier is provided, 2) a mixture (M ) containing one or more monomers in the monomer or polymerised form selected from styrole, &agr;-methylstyrole, butadiene, n-butylacrylate, MMA and acrylnitrile and optionally comonomers is added, 3) polymerisation of the obtained mixture starts in the presence of a polymerisation initiator at temperature of 5 to 95° C., 4) a mixture (M ) containing 0 to 100 wt. % of the comonomers (B) in relation to (B) and 0 to 25 wt. % of the diene monomers (A) in relation to (A) is added, 5) a mixture (M ) containing the (remaining) diene monomers (A) and the (remaining) comonomers (B) is proportioned and polymerised and 6) polymerisation is terminated when there is conversion of more than 90 and less than 95% in relation to the sum of the monomers.
