Aiming to improve the fire resistance, the synergistic effects of palygorskite and expandable
graphite (EG) on water-based intumescent fire retardant (IFR) coatings were investigated in …

Polyacrylate latexes present good film-forming property, and therefore are used in a wide
range of applications including coatings, adhesives, additives for paper, textiles, wood, and …

Common latex coatings suffer from poor water resistance, which often limits their practical
application. This paper reports on the preparation of polyacrylate latexes using various …

During the past two decades, an improved understanding of the operative particle
deformation mechanisms during latex film formation has been gained. For a particular …

Pigment printing of textiles is a kind of environmentally friendly technique of saving water
and energy, and emission reduction. Fluorosilicone modified polyacrylate/pigment (FSi …

Binder-free pigment dyeing/printing of textiles is a type of environmentally friendly and clean
production technology that utilizes polymer/pigment hybrid latex. Although it has widespread …

In this paper the synthesis, characterization and application of silicone-containing aqueous
polymer dispersions (APD) with hybrid particle structure are reviewed based on available …

Improving dirt pickup resistance especially in waterborne coatings is critical to future coating
innovations. This article focuses on resins used in the coatings with the aim of enhancing dirt …

This work reports on the formation of highly hydrophobic coatings from waterborne latexes
able to form films at ambient temperature. The contact angle of film forming copolymers of 2 …

A novel fluoro-silicone acrylate (FSA) copolymer latex was synthesized with 2-acrylamido-2-
