The hydrophobic nature of the alkyd polymer makes them good choices when water repellency is important. However, formulating alkyds into low VOC (volatile organic compound) waterborne coatings results in a number of problems, which can be minimised ...

A new problem in technology policy-a discipline hitherto largely concerned with the modern industrial sector-is posed by the need for technology suited to creating productive jobs and providing minimum public services at a cost and level of sophistication within the reach of poor people in developing countries. Careful consideration must be given to overall and sectoral development objectives, ...

The reuse of construction and demolition waste as a substitute for natural coarse aggregate in the production recycled concrete has been widely used. In order to study capillary water absorption performance waterborne-polyurethane-modified (WPUMRC), effects different curing systems, polymer-cement ratios, waterborne polyurethane addition methods on cumulative rate WPUMRC were analyzed, through ...

The incorporation of organic corrosion inhibitors into waterborne coatings is optimized in this work. Herein, p-coumaric acid (4-hydroxycinnamic acid) modified by a butyl radical and its effectiveness as an anticorrosive free inhibitor solution confirmed potentiodynamic polarization (PP). molecule then successfully incorporated polymeric binders employing different polymerization techniques dis...

Phthalocyanine pigments have many problems in waterborne coating applications because of their low polarity, poor dispersion water, and easy agglomeration properties. In order to solve these problems, the phthalocyanine were encapsulated with a copolymer methyl methacrylate (MMA) butyl acrylate (BA) by mini-emulsion polymerization method. The are effectively dispersed water good compatibility r...

The twentieth century was marked by extraordinary advances in our understanding of microbes and infectious disease, but pandemics remain, food and waterborne illnesses are frequent, multidrug-resistant microbes are on the rise, and the needed drugs and vaccines have not been developed. The scientific approaches of the past-including the intense focus on individual genes and proteins typical of ...
