Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) was grafted with acrylic monomers such as methyl methacrylate, n-butyl acrylate, acrylic acid in solution using benzoyl peroxide(BPO) as an initiator. ¹³C NMR spectral analyses confirmed that the acrylic side chains were gragfted onto the epoxy backbone eta hydrogen abstraction at either the methylene or methine carbons. Grafted copolymers were neutralized by basic neutralizers to impart water dispersibility by forming stable micelles. Properties of the copolymer including water dispersion were investigated. As the ratio of DGEBA to the acrylic monomers was increased, the molecular weight and the glass transition temperature of the graft copolymer were increased and the viscosity of the water dispersion and the particle size were decreased. The increase in the BPO concentration at a constant monomer composition also resulted in the reduction in both the viscosity of the water dispersion and the particle size.
