Kinetic of acrylic emulsion polymerization containing hydrophilic hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AA) in the presence of nano-SiO2 was investigated. The influence of temperature, emulsifier level, hydroxyl monomer content and the level of nano-SiO2 on monomer conversion, polymerization rate (Rp) and the particle size was investigated. The results showed that the presence of nano-SiO2 increased the Rp when the level was below 5% but decreased when the level was above 7.5%, the more levels, the more seriously. As the temperature and emulsifier levels increased, and the presence of hydroxyl monomer, the Rp increased. The active energy of the system was 142.01kJ/mol and the relationship of Rp and the concentration of emulsifier (E) was Rp∝[E]0.38. The mean particle size increased, particle size distribution became broader as the increase of nano-SiO2 levels.
