The co-pyrolysis of various biomasses mixed with two types plastic waste was investigated in this study. Mixture M1 consisted 30% m/m styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), 40% polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP). M2 PET, PP, acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene copolymer (ABS). SBR, ABS, PP used study were from the automotive industry, while PET originated scrap bottles. Co-pyrolysis ...

Hybrids made from an alkyd resin and an acrylic copolymer can potentially combine the desired properties of each component. Alkyd/acrylic hybrid latex particles were synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization and used to create films at room temperature. Comparisons of the alkyd auto-oxidative cross-linking rates and the associated network development are made between two alkyd resins (with di...

Tackifying resins (TR) are often used to improve the adhesive properties of waterborne pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) derived from latex dispersions. There is a large gap in the understanding of how, and to what extent, the film formation mechanism of PSAs is altered by the addition of TR. Herein, magnetic resonance profiling experiments show that the addition of TR to an acrylic latex cre...

In the film formation of latex, particle deformation can occur by processes of wet sintering, dry sintering, or capillary action. When latex films dry nonuniformly and when particles deform and coalesce while the film is still wet, a detrimental skin layer will develop at the film surface. In their process model, Routh and Russel proposed that the operative particle deformation mechanism can be...

w       ater born poly(styrene-butyl acrylate)/clay nanocomposite latexes were synthesized by a novel initiating system of activators generated by   electron transfer (aget) in a system of atom transfer radical polymerization   (atrp). initially, the clay was swelled in a mixture of styrene, butyl acrylate,   and hexadecane. the mixture was then sonicated to obtain a stable miniemulsion. to   s...

Copolymer latexes based on 2-hydroxy ethyl acrylate (2-HEA) and 2-hydroxy ethylmethacrylate (2HEMA) were synthesized with different molar ratios (95/ 05, 90/10 and 85/15) using azo-bisisobutyronitril(ABIN) as initiator and alcoholic solution as solvent. Different molar ratios of monomers was designed to investigate the effect of latexes on the physico-mechanical properties of Portland cement mo...
