AB - A series of polymethyl methacrylate latex dispersions has been prepared by emulsion polymerization using various combinations of anionic and non-ionic surfactants. The effect of surfactants present in the process of emulsion polymerization on the stability of latex dispersions has been investigated. The particle diameter increases with the increase of the content of a nonionic surfactant. It also depends on the HLB values of the nonionic surfactants used. The values of critical coagulation concentration of latex dispersions were found to increase with the increase of the content of a nonionic surfactant in the surfactant blends, and also increase with the decrease of the HLB value of the nonionic surfactant. The Hamaker constant of latex dispersions decreases with the increase of the content of a nonionic surfactant. It decreases remarkably with the decrease of the HLB value of a nonionic surfactant used. The Stern potential decreases markedly with the increase of the content of nonionic surfactant. It also decreases with the decrease of HLB value of a nonionic surfactant used.
