Abstract

AbstractThe ever-increasing demand of waterborne heavy-duty coatings for high resistance to many aggressive environment factors and low-surface energy has spurred the ongoing development of acrylic latex modified by fluorine, silicon, and epoxy resin. The morphology of the latex particles were characterized by means of light scattering and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The stability measurements of modified latex and films showed that the resultant acrylic copolymers containing fluorine, silicon and epoxy resin represented very good resistance to organic solvent, acid and base, water and heat. From contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy (AFM), a dense and gradient film with surface energy as low as 16.1 mN/m was obtained.
