Suspended emulsion polymerization of vinyl chloride was carried out in a 5 L autoclave. The influenceof agitation, polymerization conversion, dispersant and surfactant on the average particle size (PS) and particle sizedistribution (PSD), particle morphology and porosity of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin was investigated. It showedthat the agitator had great influence on the smooth operation of polymerization, PS and PSD. The PS increasedand PSD became narrow as polymerization conversion became high. The porosity decreased with the increase ofconversion. A convenient choice of additives, both dispersants and non-ionic surfactants, allows one to adjust PSand PSD. The PS decreased with the addition of polyvinyl alcohol or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose dispersants,and increased with the addition of Span surfactants. The addition of dispersants or surfactants also affected themorphology and porosity of resin, and PVC resin with looser agglomeration and homogeneous distribution of primaryparticles was prepared.
