Results are reported for (a) the reproducibility of styrene–acrylic acid emulsion copolymerisations using (i) sodium lauryl sulphate and (ii) sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate as stabiliser, and (b) the effect of small amounts of isopropanol upon the emulsion copolymerisation of styrene and acrylic acid using sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate as stabiliser. Lack of reproducibility of the conversion–time results when sodium lauryl sulphate was used as stabiliser is attributed to partial hydrolysis of the stabiliser brought about by the low pH of the reaction system.
