“…In the market different types of acrylic based paints are available. But, the measure environmental threat is their high (volatile organic contents) *Corresponding author: Tel: +91-943700921(M), e-mail: psahoochemuu@satyam.net.in VOCs [1,2]. In the early days most of the paints were manufactured by the help of clays and pigments [3][4][5][6] which have lower mechanical strengths, heat and chemical resistance.…”

Potato starch was modified by free radical polymerization with 2-ethyl hexylacrylate (EHA) monomer in presence of sorbitol a surfactant and a comparative study was done taking both the additives i.e., sodium silicate (SS) and montmorillonite (MMT) individually to establish the greater extent of biodegradation as well as application of the nanocomposite in paint technology (exterior coating). This newly developed nanocomposite was found to be a cost effective material for domestic as well as industrial applications. The bonding and formation of the nanocomposites were characterised by FTIR, TGA, XRD and TEM. The application to paint technology was established by drawing thin films and studying the ageing property too. Property like coating, antifungal activity were also studied and the study on biodegradability of the developed nanocomposites (disposal after use) showed that the starch-g-PEHA/MMT was more degradable than starch-g-PEHA/SS exhibiting the durability of the coating for its better commercialization.

“…Although the identification of mid-distillate components has been the subject of various studies (2,3), to date very little research has allowed olfactory nuisances to be linked to the volatile compounds that originate from products used as solvents in industrial processes such as in the wood preservative industry. The only study of which the authors are aware is that conducted by Hermia et al (4) on the determination of VOCs found in paint shops. In this study, some of the BTEX (collective name for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and p-, m-, and o-xylenes) and C3-to C5alkylbenzenes present in the petroleum cuts were found in the ambient air.…”

The nature of the volatile organic compounds that could be at the origin of the characteristic odor of treated wood utility poles was investigated by the study of compositional changes in the chromatographic profiles of fresh-pentachlorophenol (PCP) solvent samples and weathered samples collected from an in-service red pine pole. Over 99 peaks were identified in the chromatogram of the fresh solvent from which a large portion of the C3-, C4-, C5-, C6-alkylbenzene isomers and early eluting n-alkanes was missing from the analysis of weathered samples. Three domains in the chromatographic profile (volatile, semivolatile, and nonvolatile components) were confirmed by assessing the headspace of fresh-PCP solvent samples using direct syringe sampling and solid-phase microextraction. A first level of field validation was achieved using an emission cell for measuring substances emanating from sapwood specimens at different temperatures. The average latent heat of vaporization (deltaHvap) of the PCP-solvent components was estimated at 99.9 kJ/mol from these results. Finally, the analysis of airborne substances at a treating plant and a utility pole storage site confirmed that the C4-, C5-, and C6-alkylbenzene isomers could contribute to the characteristic odor perceived by humans.
