The effect of anionic, nonionic and anionic/nonionic surfactants on the reaction during the emulsion copolymerization of styrene and acrylic monomers was investigated. For this purpose, the effect of anionic, nonionic and anionic/nonionic surfactant systems at different ratios on the emulsion copolymerization of styrene with butyl acrylate, acryl amide and acrylic acid in the presence of ammonium persulfate initiator to obtain water-based styrene copolymer-based paint binders was examined and characterized via solid substance analysis, FTIR/ATR, DSC and viscosity. Then, after comparing the obtained results, the optimum anionic/nonionic surfactant system was created and water-based emulsion paint binders contributed to the properties such as better bonding of the paint to the surface to be applied and better distribution of the pigment in the system.
