The batch emulsion copolymerization of vinyl acetate with different vinyl silane functional monomers (vinyl trimethoxysilane [VTMS], vinyl triethoxysilane [VTES], and vinyl silanetriol [VSTO]) is studied. The nature of the silane strongly affects the development of the microstructure and crosslinking ability of the latexes. A combination of techniques (Soxhlet extraction, centrifugation, assymetric‐flow field flow fractionation AF4/MALS/RI) shows that the factor controlling the molar mass and crosslinking density is the degree of hydrolysis of the alkoxysilane, producing higher molar masses and degrees of crosslinking when the degree of hydrolysis is high. Thus, the copolymer containing VSTO produced a very crosslinked latex, the one with VTMS produced a latex with a low degree of crosslinking in the wet state that can yield high degrees of crosslinking upon drying, and the latex with VTES do not produce significant amounts of crosslinking neither before nor after drying.

乙酸乙烯酯和乙烯基硅烷的乳液共聚合：动力学和微观结构的发展

研究了乙酸乙烯酯与不同乙烯基硅烷官能单体（乙烯基三甲氧基硅烷[VTMS]，乙烯基三乙氧基硅烷[VTES]和乙烯基硅烷三醇[VSTO]）的间歇乳液共聚。硅烷的性质强烈影响胶乳的微观结构和交联能力。多种技术的组合（索氏萃取，离心，非对称流场流动分馏AF4 / MALS / RI）表明，控制摩尔质量和交联密度的因素是烷氧基硅烷的水解度，产生更高的摩尔质量和交联度水解度高时。因此，含VSTO的共聚物产生了非常交联的胶乳，
