Styrene and the cationic surfactant 11-(acryloyloxy)undecyl(trimethyl)ammonium bromide (AUTMAB) form transparent, globular microemulsions in water without any addition of a cosurfactant. Upon γ-irradiation, the two monomers copolymerize at room temperature and form nanolatex particles of about 21 nm in diameter consisting of a copolymer with a mole ratio of styrene to surfactant of approximately 1.5:1. Excess surfactant is polymerized in the micellar solution by formation of homopolymer. A structure model is presented taking into account that the surfactant most likely forms the particle shell. Due to the polar, covalently bonded shell the polymer particles can be easily redispersed.
