Abstract: The polymerizable non-ionic-oil soluble emulsifier, acryloyl sorbitan monostearate(ASMS) is synthesized from sorbitan monostearate(SMS) and acryloyl chloride. ASMS shows a greater solubility in some organic solvents than SMS. The inverse latex is prepared from acryl amide and emulsifier in the presence of an initiator. The ASMS stabilized PAM inverse latex has a greater stability than those SMS stabilized latex and its final particle size is controlled by the concentration of ASMS in it. The rheological curves for both the stabilized latexes are presented.

Key words: polyacrylamide, inverse latex, polymerizable non-ionic emulsifier, inverse emulsion polymerization
