ABSTRACT
I. INTRODUCTION A. What are Polymerizable Surfactants? One would expect the term polymerizable surfactants to include amphiphilic molecules containing somewhere in their structure a polymerizable group such as styrenic, acrylic or methacrylic, vinylic, maleic, crotonic, or allylic. These groups may be located in different places such as the end or head of the hydrophilic sequence, the end of the hydrophobic moiety, between the two, or finally somewhere along the surfactant structure as pendant (side) groups.
