tert-Butyl acrylate (TBA) can be used in emulsion polymerization similar to other well-known acrylates like Butyl Acrylate or Methylmethacrylate. As the hydrolytic stability under harsh acidic conditions is reduced for tert-Butyl Acrylate (elimination of iso-butylene), it is recommended to use for the polymerization a pH range of 3-4 (controlled via puffer or alkaline substances like ammonia or bicarbonate). With a higher share of TBA (as a substitute of MMA) in the polymer, we observe an increased tendency of cross-linking. Most probably due to the higher backbone crosslinking tendency of acrylates compared to methacrylates(radical transfer to polymer chain/backbone). Best results concerning particle size distribution were achieved by using a polymer seed, either as a ready polymer dispersion (e.g. polystyrene) or as an in-situ polymer seed.
