Review on Acrylic Water-born Coatings Modified with High Performance Polymers and Nanomaterials

Water-born acrylic emulsions are used in many applications such as Building paints, traffic coatings and adhesives. The reason of increasing the widespread use of them includes reducing in environmental pollutions because of the low amount of organic volatile compounds (voc) and its low prices. Acrylic emulsion film shows good resistance against environmental conditions, ultraviolet radiation and possess high gloss surface, nevertheless acrylic emulsion coatings have some disadvantages which modified by some methods for improving the performance of acrylic resin including use of Nano materials, mixing with polyurethane, fluorinated compounds and inorganic silicones and Modification method depending on the forces between poly (acrylate) and secondary matter, it can be done chemical or physical. This article reviews several modification methods for poly (acrylate) s.
