Polymer colloids are complex materials that have the potential to be used in a vast array of
applications. One of the main reasons for their continued growth in commercial use is the …

The use of polymer latexes for high‐performance coatings is challenging as the properties
required to allow for film formation at reasonable temperatures tend to result in films with …

Multiphase latex particles can be used to overcome some of the limitations with regards to
the mechanical properties of films cast from homogeneous latexes while maintaining a …

Soft core-hard shell waterborne polymer dispersions are promising for achieving no-volatile
organic compound, mechanically strong coatings able to form films at low temperatures …

Waterborne dispersions of hybrid polymer particles consisting of a soft core covered by
patches of hard polymer (soft core-hard “shell”) are very promising to overcome the film …

The performance of waterborne (meth) acrylic coatings is critically affected by the film
formation process, in which the individual polymer particles must join to form a continuous …

Despite significant effort, it remains a major challenge to match the mechanical properties of
films cast from solvent-based polymers using waterborne polymer dispersions. In this paper …

Although coatings cast from waterborne polymer dispersions are significantly more
environmentally friendly than their solvent-based counterparts, their relatively poor …

A volatile organic compound (VOC)-free method for the synthesis of poly (hydroxyurethane)–
(meth) acrylic waterborne hybrid dispersions was developed. Poly (hydroxyurethane)(PHU) …

Contemporary polymer science is shifting toward the development of recycling systems to
curb global resource depletion and environmental contamination. However, most methods …
