Poly(vinyl acetate) latexes are_x000D_
polymers that are stable in aqueous dispersion. These polymers are environmentally friendly and exhibit_x000D_
superior prospects due to their waterborne nature, having lower volatile organic compounds and better_x000D_
film-forming property. However, the accumulation of static charges on the surface of these polymers is a major_x000D_
problem for using them as adhesives or coatings. This is why it is important to determine if the change in the_x000D_
experimental conditions of the preparation of these polymers can affect their electrostatic properties. Our_x000D_
short-term objective is thus to determine the electrostatic properties of several poly(vinyl acetate) latexes in_x000D_
order to develop novel latexes with appropriate electrostatic properties., program purpose french : Several polymers are used for the fabrication of adhesives and coatings. Poly(vinyl acetate) latexes are_x000D_
