Synthesis and properties of the vinyl silicone oil modified polyacrylate core-shell latex as a binder for pigment printing

摘要

Vinyl silicone oil (VSO) modified polyacrylate latex is synthesized by emulsion polymerization. The core-shell structure of the latex particle is observed on transmission electron microscopy. The chemical structure of the copolymer was characterized by infrared spectrum. The glass transition temperatures of core-layer and shell-layer of latex particle are determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The size of particle of the core-shell latex is measured on a nanoscale granularity analyzer. The good softening effect of VSO is proved by the application of the latex as a binder of pigment printing on textiles. The good fastness of the printed fabrics is obtained' which shows that the synthesized core-shell latex can be used as a binder in pigment printing of textiles.
