Reaction Steps

A sample of butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and methacrylic acid (MAA) polymer was prepared according to the procedure in Example 2 with the same monomer mixture which consisted of 28.21 g MAA, 663.1 g, 1468.8 g BA and 10.5 g SLS. In this case, a reaction vessel containing 1130 g deionized, buffered water and 5.0 g SLS was heated to 81° C. The remaining monomer mix, NaPS, as well as an additional 15.5 g of SLS were fed to the vessel after the initial addition of the mixture. Following neutralization, the resultant polymer had an average particle size of 254 nm with a particle size distribution ranging from 165 nm to 341 nm. The calculated Tg of this polymer was
