Correlation of Silicone Incorporation into Hybrid Acrylic Coatings with the Resulting Hydrophobic and Thermal Properties
This research demonstrates the importance of the local position of silicone polymer phases within nanocomposite coatings in determining the final film properties. As demonstrated through several citations, the results were used by others in the design and development of silicone nanocomposites. Future research on waterborne nanocomposites has drawn inspiration from the key finding that the properties of nanocomposites (hydrophobicity, thermal stability, and film formation) prepared from hybrid emulsion particles are both useful and different in comparison to nanocomposites prepared from the blending of particles.
