Synthesis and Characterization of Siloxane Containing Styrene-Acrylic/ Acrylic Latex Systems Through Emulsion Polymerization

Poly acrylic siloxane coatings are generating a lot of interest due to their high durability and superior performance properties in different applications. The study presented here is on the synthesis and characterization of siloxane containing styrene-acrylic/acrylic latex systems through emulsion polymerization. The polymers have been characterized for their physical, chemical, thermal and surface properties using different characterizing techniques like FTIR, DSC, SEM, DLS and Contact angle measurements. The incorporation of siloxane in the polymers was found to improve properties such as hydrophobicity and ёlm formation. The paints prepared using the hybrid polymers as binders exhibited superior performance properties like weather ability, Dirt pick up resistance and mechanical properties.
