cure by drying and coalescence

42
Q

Thermosetting

A

cure by polymerisation/chemical reactions for cross-linked films

43
Q

Film formation for latexes

A

emulsion polymers (latexes) most common film former. they coalesce at room temperature and form thermoplastic film

44
Q

How paint dries (basic)

A

polymer particle dispersions come closer together after water evaporates then the particles deform, coalesce and inter-diffuse between polymer chains

45
Q

Latex paints

A

bind pigment particles together, allow adhesion to substrate, UV durability, chemical resistance, water-impermeable barrier

49
Q

Dispersion polymerisation
