Synthesis of polystyrene suspensions with positive ζ-potential of particles in the presence of surfactants of various nature

Abstract

Colloid-chemical properties of cationic surfactants, as well as kinetic laws of polymerization of styrene in their presence were studied. Conditions of styrene polymerization providing stable polymeric suspensions with a high positive ζ-potential of particles were chosen.
