Water-borne coatings that share the mechanism of action of oil-based coatings

Abstract

A new coating performs like an oil-based paint, with fully dissolved polymer, but uses water as a solvent.

An eco-friendly pathway to thermosensitive micellar nanoobjects via photoRAFT PISA: the full guide to poly(N-acryloylpyrrolidin)-block-polystyrene diblock copolymers

“…[11][12][13] Further advantages of combining CRP techniques with emulsion polymerization to produce industrially relevant (block)copolymers are obvious: Waterborne processes are not only cheap, they moreover provide efficient heat transfer, a low viscosity, and renounce volatile organic compounds, while coincidently giving rise to well-defined polymer architectures. [14][15][16] Several methods based on the RDRP mechanism have been developed, the most common ones being the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), 17,18 nitroxide-mediated polymerization (NMP), 19 and RAFT polymerization. 20,21 Besides the conventional thermal initiation, these methods allow control through external physical (light irradiation, ultrasonication) [22][23][24][25] and chemical stimuli (metal-, redox-, enzyme-, Lewis acid-, or electrochemicallycatalyzed), [26][27][28][29][30] with light being lately one of the most prominent initiation sources.…”

Impact of inhibitor loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles on waterborne coating performance in various corrosive environments

“…[22,23] Furthermore, in the context of ecological impact, waterborne coatings represent an exceptionally acceptable solution, but on the road to their wider industrial use, there is a set of challenges, including reduced corrosion resistance to aggressive media. [24] A composite selfprotecting active system based on waterborne coating matrix could potentially improve the performance of corrosion protection and result as one of the acceptable solutions for overcoming the stability challenge in aggressive environments. [25] This research work refers to the preparation and evaluation of an environmentally acceptable corrosion protection system, which possesses an active component in addition to the passive protection.…”

A comparative study on the effect of higher acrylate on cross-linkable PMMA used as environment friendly latexes

“…The increasing cost of solvents that simply evaporate and disappear from coating is another driving force for the development of waterborne industrial coatings. 3,4 The emulsion polymerization is considered a better technique for the synthesis of polyacrylates, especially for applications involving film formation and that give high-molecular-weight polymer, high conversion rates, easier temperature control due to low viscosity of the reaction medium, and high degree of selectivity. From among the commonly used binders in organic coatings, the acrylic-type resin is one of the most common class of resins that find application as binders.…”
