A mesh structure of all cross-linked rubber particles containing polystyrene, prepared using the phase-transfer/bulk polymerisation process, was found. Each peroxide-prevulcanised particle had a nonuniform network structure, whereas the rubber network in sulphur-prevulcanised particles was homogeneous, irrespective of size. The effects of maturation and sodium dodecyl sulphate on the swelling ratio of the sulphur-prevulcanised latex film were investigated.Mahidol UniversityChemical EngineeringChemistryMaterials ScienceArticleSCOPUS10.1007/s00396-002-0654-7
