Acrylate–alkyd hybrid latex via miniemulsion polymerizations show promise as water-borne coating systems. However, poor homogeneity of the particles caused by the immiscibility of the alkyd in polyacrylate limits monomer conversion and film formation. To resolve this problem, the hybrid miniemulsion polymerization of acrylate in the presence of linoleic acid and sunflower seed oil was carried o...

Polyurethanes (PUs) have been extensively exploited for the production of protective coatings thanks to versatility their chemistry, which allows adjust coating properties depending on final application. In last decade, concerns negative impact environment and human health traditional petroleum-based solvent-borne PUs fostered research more environmentally friendly alternatives. This review art...

this paper examines the relationship between domestic water sources, demand and associated problems in the context of a rapidly increasing household population in nassarawa eggon town, nasarawa state, nigeria. the data for this research were generated using a questionnaire survey of systematically selected households, and analysed using descriptive statistics in the form of frequencies and perc...

In this paper, an environmentally friendly waterborne polyurea (WPUA) emulsion and its corresponding coating were prepared, which was characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To improve the performance of coating, we doped sulfonated graphene (SG) into WPUA to prepare co...
