Curing Dynamics of Soy Flour-Based Adhesives Enhanced by Waterborne Polyurethane

Waterborne polyurethane-acrylic hybrid nanoparticles by miniemulsion polymerization: applications in pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Waterborne polyurethane-acrylic hybrid nanoparticles for application as pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) were prepared by one-step miniemulsion polymerization. The addition of polyurethane to a standard waterborne acrylic formulation results in a large increase in the cohesive strength and hence a much higher shear holding time (greater than seven weeks at room temperature), which is a very ...

Soy-Based UV Resistant Polyurethane Pultruded Composites

Synthesis and Characterization of Anionic Polyurethane Dispersants for Waterborne Paints

Anionic polyurethane dispersants APUDs were used as dispersing agents in formulation of waterborne paints. The APUDs were synthesized by three steps. In the first step, macromonomer diisocyanate having carboxylic acid was prepared by isophorone diisocyanate IPDI, dimethylol propionic acid DMPA in presence of acetone as solvent and dibutyltin dilaurate DBTDL as catalyst. Then, carboxylic polyure...

Nutrient-Enhanced Production of Remarkably High Concentrations of Ethanol by Saccharomyces bayanus through Soy Flour Supplementation.

The supplementation of a simple medium with soy flour led to an increase in the specific growth rate and viable cell concentration of Saccharomyces bayanus during fermentation. Increasing the amount of soy flour led to an increase in the maximum number of viable yeast cells and the percentage of glucose fermented. It was possible in 64 h to reach 12.8% (wt/vol) ethanol by adding 4% soy flour (w...

Preparation and Characterization of Waterborne Polyurethane Modified by Nanocrystalline Cellulose

Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was used as a modifier for waterborne polyurethane (WPU) to investigate the water and ethanol resistance of WPU-NCC composites. The NCC surface was modified with γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and γammnonimpropylmethyldimethoxysilane (APMDS) to improve its compatibility with waterborne polyurethane (WPU), as indicated by the contact angle (CA). The cha...
