Thermosetting acrylic emulsions

Acrylic Emulsions For Radiation Curing Offer Formulation Ease

VOC advantages of radiation-curable coatings, but present novel design opportunities because dispersion in water decouples the polymer o r oligomer molecular weights from the formulation viscosity. Coatings designers can then begin to make use of the full range of polymer architectures possible for polyester, urethane and acrylic polymers. This article focuses on radiation curing systems based ...

A fluorescence approach to investigate repartitioning of coalescing agents in acrylic polymer emulsions

Repartitioning of co-solvents between particles of latex emulsions was investigated by means of a fluorescence method based on the detection of the amount of co-solvent via the solvatochromic shift of the emission maximum of a fluorescent probe, copolymerized at a low concentration. Complete repartitioning of co-solvents between particles of latex materials with a low T(g) (ca. 25 °C) occurred ...

Experimental data on the properties of polymer-modified cement grouts using epoxy and acrylic resin emulsions

The use of additives to improve the quality of cement grouts is crucial for civil engineering, especially in foundation construction. This article presents experimental data concerning the compressive strength, elastic modulus, bleeding and injectability of microfine cement grouts modified with epoxy and acrylic resin emulsions. Strength properties were obtained at different curing ages. For fu...

Rheological Testing of Thermosetting Polymers

Anhydrides-Cured Bimodal Rubber-Like Epoxy Asphalt Composites: From Thermosetting to Quasi-Thermosetting

The present engineering practices show the potential that epoxy asphalt composites (EACs) would be a better choice to obtain long life for busy roads. To understand the service performance–related thermorheological properties of prepared bimodal anhydrides-cured rubber-like EACs (REACs), a direct tensile tester, dynamic shear rheometer and mathematical model were used. Tensile tests demonstrate...
