The surfactant free emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of macro-RAFT (reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer) agent is carried out to synthesize stable latex particles with smaller particle size. A macro-RAFT agent is prepared by homopolymerization of sodium styrene sulfonate (NaSS) in aqueous phase by using dithioester as chain transfer agent. This synthesized polystyrene sulfonate-sodium (PSS-Na) based macro-RAFT agent, which is essentially water soluble macromolecular chain transfer agent used for the surfactant-free batch emulsion polymerization of styrene. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study of the synthesized colloids shows the narrow particle size distribution with core-shell morphology.

Concentration and molecular weight of hydrophilic macro-RAFT agent has an influence on colloidal stability, particle size distribution and self-assembly. Microscopic and zeta-potential studies of colloids reveal that, the macro-RAFT agents used with low molecular weight (M n = 1200) are comparable more efficient than high molecular weight (M n = 46,800 and 116,000) for imparting narrow particle size distribution with good colloidal stability.
