Core / Shell Particles. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 148
This book consists of six chapters, three of which
describe experimental procedures. Chapter 1 provides
a general introduction to the research, followed by
the objectives and thesis layout. Chapter 2
describes, in detail, miniemulsion polymerization and
the preparation of core/shell particles. In addition,
this chapter provides a short overview on the barrier
properties of polymers used in coatings. The
permeability of low molecular weight molecules, such
as water, through polymers is discussed. Chapter 3
gives detailed information about the synthesis of the
investigated core/shell latices as well as the
experimental methods used for the characterization of
these latices. Chapter 4 describes the determination
of the particle morphology of the synthesized
core/shell latex particles. Chapter 5 shows the
results obtained from hydrophobicity, water uptake,
conductivity and moisture vapour transmission rate
(MVTR) measurements. Chapter 6 summarizes the main
conclusions drawn from the results and mentions some
recommendations and future work.
