Experimental validation of a mathematical model for the evolution of the particle morphology of waterborne polymer-polymer hybrids: paving the way to the design and implementation of optimal polymerization strategies
(Elsevier, 2019-01-23)
Polymer-polymer composite nanoparticles allow both the improvement of the performance in stablished applications of waterborne polymer dispersions and targeting new applications that are out of reach of currently available ...
Kinetics of the Aqueous Phase Copolymerization of MAA and PEGMA Macromonomer: Influence of Monomer Concentration and Side Chain Length of PEGMA
(MDPI, 2017-04-20)
An in situ nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) technique is used to monitor the aqueous-phase copolymerization kinetics of methacrylic acid (MAA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA) ...
Dynamic Optimization and Non-linear Model Predictive Control to Achieve Targeted Particle Morphologies
(Wiley, 2019-03)
An event-driven approach based on dynamic optimization and nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is investigated together with inline Raman spectroscopy for process monitoring and control. The benefits and challenges ...
Phase Separation Driven On-Demand Debondable Waterborne Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives
(MDPI, 2018-09)
A waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) that shows high adhesive performance and easy debondability on demand without leaving residues on the substrate (adhesive failure) has been developed. A key component of the ...
Characterization of grafting properties of ABS latexes: ATR-FTIR vs NMR spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) polymers have a complex microstructure which is formed during the grafting reaction of a polybutadiene seed latex. During the reaction, some styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) chains are ...
Stable Photocatalytic Paints Prepared from Hybrid Core-Shell Fluorinated/Acrylic/TiO2 Waterborne Dispersions
(MDPI, 2016-10-24)
The contamination of air and water is one of the major concerns towards the development of a sustainable world in the 21st century. In this context many efforts are devoted to the design of photocatalytic paints able to ...
Green Electrospinning of Polymer Latexes: A Systematic Study of the Effect of Latex Properties on Fiber Morphology
(MDPI, 2021-03-11)
Green electrospinning is a relatively new promising technology in which a polymer (latex) can be spun from an aqueous dispersion with the help of a template polymer. This method is a green, clean and safe technology that ...
Taking Advantage of Phosphate Functionalized Waterborne Acrylic Binders to Get Rid of Inhibitors in Direct-to-Metal Paints
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)
In this paper, two phosphate functionalized acrylic binders are formulated to yield direct-to-metal paints without using corrosion inhibitors. The difference between both binders is the addition of polystearylacrylate ...
Strategies to incorporate a fluorinated acrylate monomer into polymer particles: from particle morphology to film morphology and anticorrosion properties
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] Four strategies to incorporate a fluorinated monomer (perfluoro octyl acrylate, POA) into a waterborne polymeric dispersion are investigated. Due to the very low water solubility of the POA monomer, three of the ...
Incorporation of a Coumarate Based Corrosion Inhibitor in Waterborne Polymeric Binders for Corrosion Protection Applications
(Wiley, 2022-05)
The incorporation of organic corrosion inhibitors into waterborne coatings is optimized in this work. Herein, p-coumaric acid (4-hydroxycinnamic acid) is modified by a butyl radical and its effectiveness as an anticorrosive ...
