Hydrophobic core/shell particles via miniemulsion polymerization
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
Hydrophobic core/shell latex particles were synthesized for use in barrier coatings using the
miniemulsion polymerization process. Particles with liquid or with hard cores were
successfully synthesized using miniemulsion ...
New monomer for hydrophobic acrylic copolymers and their novel properties
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
The synthesis and characterization of a new tertiary alcohol (2-octyl-2-dodecanol) and “bushy-tailed”, hydrophobic acrylic monomer (2-octyl-dodecyl acrylate) from a 1-decene dimer (2-octyl-1-dodecene) precursor that was ...
Synthesis and characterization of comb-polymers with controlled structure
(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2006-12)
Synthesis of a series of poly (methylmethacrylate)-graft-poly (styrene) polymer was
carried out via free radical polymerization of methylmethacrylate and polystyrene
macromonomers. The macromonomers were synthesized via ...
