Waterborne binders
All presentations on resin chemistry

1h 10m
Waterborne binders are increasingly important for modern coatings. We will see an introduction and some figures. We will discuss stabilization mechanisms and look at the viscosity of waterborne binders. Two important classes of waterborne binders are discussed: polyurethane dispersions and acrylics obtained from emulsion polymerization. Finally we will look at their properties and applications.

Solvents and solutions
Many coatings are still solvent-based. In the introduction we will look at the purpose and the role of solvents in paints. We will discuss the solubility of binders using the Hansen Solubility Parameters and see several classes of solvents used in paints. A theory on the viscosity of resin soluti...

The chemistry of pigment dispersants
Pigment dispersants are a very special class of resins. We will discuss the essential elements of pigment dispersants: anchoring groups, soluble chains and an architecture to connect the two. A few commercial pigment dispersants are discussed and we will look at the properties and applications of...
