Applications of Synthetic Resin Latices, Set

These volumes are an invaluable resource for research workers and end-users in academia and industry working on water-based paints, adhesives, emulsions, dispersions and coatings as a comprehensive account of the science of polymer latices. <p><b>Volume 1, Fundamental Chemistry of Latices Applications in Adhesives<br /> </b>This book covers the fundamental chemistry of latices and their applications in adhesives. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.<br /> </p> <ul> <li>Introduces the principles and practice of emulsion polymerisation and of the resulting latices and their properties</li> <li>Includes alkali-solubility, in relation to the requirements of specific applications, including pigmented systems and technical latices</li> <li>Contains a comprehensive account of the formulation of latex-based adhesives for the bonding of many different substances</li> </ul> <p><b>Volume 2, Latices in Surface Coatings – Emulsion Paints</b><br /> This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to emulsion paints. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.</p> <ul> <li>Describes the principles of the formulation, manufacture and application properties of water-based ’emulsion’ paints and related surface coatings</li> <li>Includes inter alia gloss and anti-corrosion paints and electrocoating</li> </ul> <p><b>Volume 3, Latices in Surface Coatings: Diverse Applications</b></p> <p>This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to diverse applications. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.</p> <ul> <li>Covers the principles and practice of the use of latex-based systems in building and construction products, paper coating, textile treatment, polishes and many other specialised applications</li> </ul>
