| Abstract: | Intramolecularly crosslinked macromolecules (ICM) from unsaturated polyesters (UP) and styrene, respectively from technical divinylbenzene (t-DVB), were prepared by emulsion copolymerization (ECP). Saturated polyesters of different compositions and molar masses between 1200 and 2400 were used as emulsifiers (ESP). The influence of molar mass and structure at various concentrations of the ESP on yield, number and diameter of the ICM and their composition was studied. For comparison, also sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was used as emulsifier. |
