Download or read book Technology for Waterborne Coatings written by J. Edward Glass and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 15 chapters in this book discuss conventional latices of the type used in architectural, photographic, and paper coatings, and aqueous epoxy and polyurethane dispersions used in original equipment manufacturer coatings. Topics include their synthesis from the view of their chain-growth or step-growth mechanism, stabilizers employed in the production of the disperse phase, and the compositional influences of the resin particle on their interfacial energies and morphology. Also covered is the radiation curing of applied aqueous dispersions, the properties of different resin types, surfactant orientations at the film substrate and air interfaces, recent studies on the particle coalescence of step-growth oligomer dispersions, the interactions of dispersions and dispersion rheology, and the spray application of waterborne coatings.
