Article Synopsis
  • Composite latex particles are versatile materials used in products like paints and adhesives, combining rubber and thermoplastic properties for high performance.
  • The morphology of these composite particles varies based on factors such as the types of monomers, synthesis temperature, and surfactants used in the emulsion polymerization process.
  • This research introduces a new three-component model using Monte Carlo simulations to analyze how particle morphology is influenced by the properties (like hydrophilicity and flexibility) of the polymer chains, successfully mirroring features seen in experimental results.
