The distribution of the crosslinker plays a critical
role in the formation of a crosslinked network (see Fig.
16). When the epoxide solution was prepared, the
addition of excess water gave rise to a cloudy solution,
indicating a phase separation. From this observation,
the epoxide, with a low water solubility of 0.02% at
25°C, was expected to be unstable in the aqueous
phase. However, a clear solution formed when the
epoxide was mixed with acrylic monomers. With stir-
ring, the epoxide was likely to adsorb to the LA par-
ticle surface or move into the LA particle because of
the similarity between the epoxide and the emulsion
polymer. In contrast, when the epoxide was intro-
duced into the LA with the emulsion approach, the
