Polyurethanes continue to be one of the most versatile of all polymers, finding applications in foams (flexible, rigid, and in-between), elastomers, coatings, sealants, adhesives, paints, textiles, and films. This volume presents some of the major advances in polyurethanes, both from the materials and research side of things as well as processing and applications, and includes studies on foams (additives, vacuum panel applications, blowing and processing), elastomers, adhesion behaviour and new urethane raw materials. 

The latices that result from the emulsion polymerization find immediate application as adhesives, paints, coatings, or in the processing of leather. For this, control over the distribution of the latex particles is desired. If emulsifier and water are added at the beginning of the polymerization and monomer and initiator are added continually during the course of the polymerization, then only those latex particles initially formed will continue to grow. The latex particles are relatively small and show a narrow distribution of size. If, on the other hand, just one part of the initial sample is polymerized and the rest is added as an emulsion during polymerization, then new latex particles will be produced. Since the particles formed first are very large and those formed last remain relatively small, the distribution of sizes becomes very wide. 

The mechanical coatings are primarily barrel processed on to parts up to about 150 mm long or 400 g mass. Adhesive bonding (with a conductive adhesive to maintain the electrochemical protection by zinc) is particularly suitable for wrapping pipes. Vapour deposition has some use in products but the newest development is application on continuous strip for car-body manufacture—the surface is smooth so that the subsequently painted surface has no unevenness. 

A continuous intact film of water-resistant paint forms an effective electrical resistance to the flow of a corrosion current (a resistance of over lO flcm through the film is easily achieved). Underfilm corrosion can then only occur if a channel of electrolyte connecting anode and cathode can be established by local adhesion failure between the coating and the metal substrate.

This task represents a continuation of efforts to maximize the hydrophobicity of acrylic, epoxy, and other polymeric systems for resistance to water penetration and environmental degradation, and to minimize the dielectric constant and improve the processability for adhesives and coatings, without compromising the necessary structural characteristics for materials used for, e.g., structural elements, liners, paints, and microelectronic devices. 

Emulsion polymerization is the basis of many industrial processes, and the production volume of latex technologies is continually expanding—a consequence of the many environmental, economic, health, and safety benefits the process has over solvent-based processes. A wide range of products are synthesized by emulsion polymerization, including commodity polymers, such as polystyrene, poly(acrylates), poly (methyl methacrylate), neoprene or poly(chloroprene), poly(tetrafluoroethylene), and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). The applications include manufacture of coatings, paints, adhesives, synthetic leather, paper coatings, wet suits, natural rubber substitutes, supports for latex-based antibody diagnostic kits, etc. ... 

Solvents in paint or a coating serve multiple purposes. These include solubilization of resins and other ingredients, wetting, viscosity reduction, adhesion promotion, and gloss enhancement. Initially, the resin or polymer is dissolved in the solvent to form a continuous phase. 

Most paint formulations consist of disperse systems (solid in liquid dispersions) [2]. The disperse phase consists of primary pigment particles (organic or inorganic) which provide the opacity, colour and other optical effects these are usually in the submicron range. Other coarse particles (mostly inorganic) are used in primers and undercoats to seal the substrate and enhance adhesion of the top coat The continuous phase consists of a solution of polymer or resin which provides the basis for a continuous film that seals the surface and protects it from the outside environment Most modem paints contain latexes which are used as film formers. These latexes - which typically have a glass transition temperature (Tg) below...
