During the last few decades, an enormous effort has been made to understand corrosionphenomena and their mechanisms, and to elucidate the causes that dramatically influence the servicelifetime of metal materials [...]

In this work, the authors used reversible addition-fragmentation transfer (RAFT) polymerization to develop a new cationic acrylate modified epoxy resin emulsion for water-borne inkjet which have the advantages of both polyacrylate and epoxy resin. The emulsion was successfully used in the canvas coating for inkjet printing. This paper aims to contribute to the development of novel cationic emulsions for inkjet printing industry.

The effect of a series of organosilanes and their mixtures with corrosion inhibitors on the anticorrosion properties of polymer and paint coatings on steel, namely, on the adhesive characteristics of the coatings and corrosion behavior of the metal in the presence of coatings modified with organosilanes, corrosion inhibitors, and their mixtures, is studied. It is shown that mixtures of 1,2,3-benzotriazole (BTA) with vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) or aminoethylaminopropyltrimethoxysilane—diaminosilane (DAS) inhibit the local dissolution and underfilm corrosion of carbon steel, and the potential of local depassivation shifts by 0.3–0.4 V. Here, compact polymer-like layers that are strongly bound to the metal surface are formed on the surface of steel. Corrosion and mechanical tests of the samples of pipe steels with different types of inhibiting compositions are conducted. The effect of the inhibitors on the crack growth under static loading in a model soil electrolyte (pH of 5.5) and on the crack resistance of steel under slow tension in an NS-4 model underfilm electrolyte (pH of 7.0) is evaluated. The tests are performed in media free from and containing hydrogen sulfide. It is shown that the best inhibiting properties are manifested by the mixtures of corrosion inhibitors with organosilanes. Comparative laboratory and bench tests for the adhesive strength, water resistance, and resistance to cathodic detachment of the adhesive junctions obtained upon applying the modified polymer and paint coatings onto the surface of steel are performed. It is found that introducing a mixture of organosilane and a corrosion inhibitor improves the adhesive properties of polymer and paint coatings.

The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of the method of synthesis on properties of aqueous hybrid silicone-acrylic (SIL-ACR) and acrylic-silicone (ACR-SIL) dispersions. SIL-ACR dispersions were obtained by emulsion polymerization of mixtures of acrylic and styrene monomers (butyl acrylate, styrene, acrylic acid and methacrylamide) of two different compositions in aqueous dispersions of silicone resins synthesized from mixtures of silicone monomers (octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, vinyltriethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane) of two different compositions. ACR-SIL dispersions were obtained by emulsion polymerization of mixtures of the same silicone monomers in aqueous dispersions of acrylic/styrene copolymers synthesized from the same mixtures of acrylic and styrene monomers, so the compositions of ACR and SIL parts in corresponding ACR-SIL and SIL-ACR hybrid dispersions were the same. Examination of the properties of hybrid dispersions (particle size, particle structure, minimum film forming temperature, Tg of dispersion solids) as well as of corresponding coatings (contact angle, water resistance, water vapour permeability, impact resistance, elasticity) and films (tensile strength, elongation at break, % swell in toluene), revealed that they depended on the method of dispersion synthesis that led to different dispersion particle structures and on composition of ACR and SIL part. Generally, coatings produced from hybrid dispersions showed much better properties than coatings made from starting acrylic/styrene copolymer dispersions.

In this paper, self-healing microcapsules with urea formaldehyde coated Nippon water-based acrylic acid were prepared, and the performance of water-based topcoat paint film added with self-healing microcapsules and the repair effect of microcapsules were investigated. The results show that when the content of microcapsules in water-based topcoat paint film on the surface of wood increased, the color difference and hardness rose gradually, the gloss and adhesion declined gradually, the impact resistance and tensile strength at break rose first and then declined. The 0.67:1 core-wall ratio microcapsules had a better micromorphology, and the water-based topcoat paint film with 0.67:1 microcapsules had a certain repair effect. The microcapsules were added to the water-based topcoat paint film to repair the coating to a certain extent, which provide technical reference for prolonging the service life of water-based topcoat paint film for the furniture surface.

Fluorine materials have received the keen attention of many researchers because of their water repellency and low surface free energy. The purpose of this paper is to prepare self-crosslinking fluorocarbon polyacrylate latexes containing different fluorocarbon chain lengths by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization technology.

The soap-free emulsion of vinyl acetate (VAc)/butyl acrylate (BA) copolymer was prepared by a semi-continuous and pre-emulsification polymerization method, using ammonium sulfate allyloxy nonylphenoxy poly(ethyleneoxy) (10) ether (DNS-86) as a reactive emulsifier. The effects of DNS-86 on the stability of the emulsion and the properties of the latex film were investigated. The infrared spectrum, thermal stability, glass transition temperature and micromorphology of latex were also studied. The results showed that the emulsion had the best stability and the conversion rate reached a maximum of 98.46% when the DNS-86 amount was 4 wt % of the total amount of monomers. Compared with the PVAc latex synthesized with octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (10) (OP-10), the latex prepared with DNS-86 has higher thermal stability and ionic stability, whereas the latex film has better water resistance.
