kinetics of radical polymerizations of waterborne alkyd/acrylic hybrid resin via batch mini-emulsion technique was studied using redox initiators (tbhp/fe2+/edta/asac  and  tbhp/fe2+/edta/sfs) at relatively low temperatures and thermal initiators (bpo, kps and aibn) at higher temperatures to seek the most suitable initiator system. at the end of all reactions the unreacted monomer content was r...

Alkyd resins are amongst the most important and widely used resins in coating sectors. In this communication we report on preparation of alkyd resins emulsified by grafted acrylic resins on their fatty acid moieties. Both high-shear mechanical homogenizer and ultra-sonic sonicator were used step-wise to disperse the alkyd resin and acrylic based monomers in aqueous media. The resins are of nano...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Despite the numerous positive features of acrylic denture base, there are a number of undeniable associated disadvantages. The properties of denture base have been improved through various interventions including application of different types of filler and coatings. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the surface roughness, thickness and coating quality of organic-in...

Composites are being used extensively in several engineering applications. However, the efficiency of the joints used in joining composites and metals can be improved. To move towards a sustainable and environment friendly future, natural fibre composite material was used. Towards the above objective, research work was carried out for the assembly between a composite and aluminium. Three differ...

Hybrids made from an alkyd resin and an acrylic copolymer can potentially combine the desired properties of each component. Alkyd/acrylic hybrid latex particles were synthesized via miniemulsion polymerization and used to create films at room temperature. Comparisons of the alkyd auto-oxidative cross-linking rates and the associated network development are made between two alkyd resins (with di...

Polystyrene-poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) polyelectrolyte multilayer was found to be instable and apt to reconstruct in the pure water. By depositing polystyrene-poly(acrylic acid)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) multilayer on the polystyrene-poly(acrylic acid) hybrid CaCO(3) templates, novel polyelectrolyte capsules could be prepared after the removal of the templates. The r...

STUDY DESIGN An experimental pilot study using an acrylic interbody cage in a dog cervical spine fusion model. OBJECTIVE To compare bony fusion in autologous bone grafting with a novel acrylic cage in terms of preservation of disc height, biomechanical properties, and histologic characteristics. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Degenerative diseases of cervical intervertebral discs are commonly t...

Glass fiber reinforcement of the hybrid acrylic resin with difference method can enhance residual monomer content of the material; it can cause cytotoxic effect on fibroblast cells. The purpose of this study was to know the cytotoxicity of hybrid acrylic resins after glass fiber reinforcement with difference method on the cultured fibroblasts. The squared specimens of 10 mm in length, 10 mm in ...

Hybrid hollow nanospheres of chitosan-silica templated by chitosan-poly(acrylic acid) nanoparticles are fabricated in a complete aqueous system, which provide a pH-sensitive switch in physiological and sub-cell environments for the release of loaded drug.
