The chemistry of acrylic binders
The synthesis of polyacrylates and the monomers, initiators and solvents used are discussed in this training. The relation between monomer composition and resin parameters, such as glass-transition temperature, acid value and OH-value is shown in an example of a recipe calculation. Practical aspe...

The chemistry of polyesters and alkyds
Polyesters and alkyds are treated in this chapter. After an introduction we will discuss molecular weight and functionality of polyesters, we will look at raw materials and their influence on the final properties of polyesters. Alkyds, a special class of polyesters, are discussed, as well as the ...
