Thermoanalytical and Morphological Studies of the Film Formation and Resulting Fundamental Properties of Pre- coalescence and Post-coalescence Crosslinked Latex Films

摘要

In 1978 Bufkin and Grawe [1(a-e)] published a series of review articles on crosslinking latexes with several thousand references. These articles provided an extensive overview of the various crosslinking chemistries available before 1978. Many thousands of patents and publications on crosslinkable latexes have appeared since then. For examples of recent publications, see references [2-9] and patents, see references [10-13]. In 2004, Winnik and Taylor [2] published a fundamental review paper covering advancements in crosslinking technology, various crosslinking chemistries and a masterful overview of film formation mechanisms. Surprisingly few, if any, of the thousands of publications contain systematic comparisons of film properties of “pre-coalescence” (internal) and “post-coalescence” (external) crosslinked latexes, the subject of this paper.
