Abstract
In recent years numerous workers have reported on the polymerization of vinyl monomers, in the presence of polymers, in which graft copolymers and/or homopolymers are formed. Kinetic studies of such reactions have been relatively few, however, particularly for systems involving polymer latexes rather than solutions. In the present paper a kinetic study of the polymerization of styrene, methyl methacrylate, and homologous methacrylic esters in natural rubber latex is reported, and certain abnormal features of the polymerizations are discussed.Keywords
