Tuning the properties in an easy effective way is desirable in many technical and industrial applications. Latexes and other synthetic dispersion, such as e. g. polyurethanes, offer the possibility, to apply coatings to surfaces in order to change the interface properties of materials while remaining the intrinsic bulk properties. In this manner, hydrophilic and hydrophobic films for many applications such as lubricating coatings, coatings for functional papers and medical devices can be created using simple processes. This presentation will give a brief overview and selected examples for synthesis, analysis and applications of polymer dispersions for creating different kind of surface properties.
