Gloss and hardness build-up during water evaporation.Comparison of 3 binders:Latex,alkyd emulsion and waterborne hybrid binder

摘要

The drying of latex particles and alkyd emulsions has been extensively studied over the last ten years using modern techniques such as atomic force microscopy (afm) and nuclear magnetic imaging.Consequently models describing the packing of latex particles due to evaporation of water,the role of particle hardness and the transport of water in the drying film,have been developed.
