Data concerning to the particle aggregation in the polymerizations conducted at different pH.
| pH | Particle surface area covered by a surfactant molecule (nm2) | Number of average small particles that aggregate to form a large particle | Reduction in total area of small particles after aggregation in one larger particle (%) |
| 1.0 | 3.1 | 162 | 84.5 | 1.5 | 4.7 | 102 | 82.4 | 1.75 | 5.7 | 121 | 83.2 |
