Fundamentals of Latex Film Formation: Processes and Properties

Fundamentals of Latex Film Formation: Processes and Properties

This book introduces the reader to latex, which is a colloidal dispersion of polymer particles in water, and explains how useful products are made from it.

The primary focus is the process by which wet latex can be transformed into coatings, adhesives, and composites in the process known as film formation. The book reviews the main experimental techniques used to study the film formation process. It then presents the fundamental concepts for each of the three main stages of the process: evaporation of water, particle deformation, and polymer diffusion. The latest experimental observations are presented along with theoretical descriptions and models. Later chapters consider the effects of surfactant on film properties and describe films made from nanocomposite particles and from blends of latex with nanoparticles, such as clays or carbon nanotubes. The book concludes with a chapter considering the remaining technical challenges and highlighting a few exciting future directions. Throughout the presentation, fundamental concepts are emphasised. Relevant models are explained in an accessible way that does not assume prior knowledge.

This book will serve as a state-of-the art reference for scientists working in industrial R&D and also for researchers in diverse academic subjects, including chemistry, physics, engineering, and materials science.

Advanced Thermally Assisted Surface Engineering Processes Reviews

Advanced Thermally Assisted Surface Engineering Processes

Surfaces are the bounding faces of solids. The interaction of component surface with the working environment results in wear and corrosion. Estimated loss due to wear and corrosion in the USA is around 0 billion. Engineered surfaces are the key to the reduction of losses due to wear and corrosion.
There are surface engineering books on specific processes such as thermal spraying and vapor phase deposition or about specific heat sources such as plasma or laser. However, there are few, if any, covering the whole range of advanced surface engineering processes. Advanced Thermally Assisted Surface Engineering Processes has been structured to provide assistance and guidance to the engineers, researchers and students in choosing the right process from the galaxy of newer surface engineering techniques using advanced heat sources.

Nanomaterials: Properties, Preparation and Processes (Nanotechnology Science and Technology Series) Reviews

Nanomaterials: Properties, Preparation and Processes (Nanotechnology Science and Technology Series)

Nano-sized composite materials are getting more and more important because of their unique properties. In addition, the preparation of nano-particles dispersed into solid hosts is now-a-days attracting scientific and technological interest because the properties of these hybrid systems are different and often improved, compared with their isolated counterparts. This book investigates the modelling of the mechanical properties of polycaprolactone-layered silicates nanocomposites. Nanoparticles of iron oxide are also currently being explored for their diverse range of application such as magnetic storage media, environment protection, sensors, catalysis, clinical diagnosis and treatment etc. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that the magnetic pulsed processing is used for the powder compaction since the 60′s, the considerable advances of this method for the nano-powders compaction has been established not long ago. In this book, the theoretical description of the magnetic pulsed compaction processes are presented. The mechanism, regulation and co-ordination of linear nanomotors are also discussed. Other chapters in this book explore the phase selective and morphology controllable processing of titania (TiO2) nanocrystals and their enhanced functionality via doping for photocatalytic, luminescent and magnetic applications.
