A novel random-arranged experimental design method ("random-design") was employed to optimize the technology of emulsion polymerization with high solid content. In the case of the emulsion copolymerization of styrene (St), butyl acrylate (BA) and acrylic acid (AA), six principal factors were chosen for random-design process. The random-designed experimental results were then applied to regression analysis with the known statistical analysis system (SAS), and the optimal regression equations between the principal factors and the emulsion properties were in turn established. It is exhibited that the square value of solid content, the interaction between the initiator concentration and functional monomer concentration, the square value of emulsifier content, the interaction between BA concentration and reaction temperature, all greatly affect the particle size .
