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. Volume 1, Fundamental Chemistry of Latices Applications in AdhesivesThis 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. Introduces the principles and practice of emulsion polymerisation and of the resulting latices and their propertiesIncludes alkali-solubility, in relation to the requirements of specific applications, including pigmented systems and technical laticesContains a comprehensive account of the formulation of latex-based adhesives for the bonding of many different substancesVolume 2, Latices in Surface Coatings - Emulsion PaintsThis 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. Describes the principles of the formulation, manufacture and application properties of water-based 'emulsion' paints and related surface coatingsIncludes inter alia gloss and anti-corrosion paints and electrocoatingVolume 3, Latices in Surface Coatings: Diverse ApplicationsThis 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. 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
