Abstract

We review advances in the design and development of functional latex particles that can be used to form crosslinked coatings. Our emphasis is on understanding fundamental principles, of the formation and aging of latex films, of crosslinking of polymer films, of the reaction mechanisms that lead to bond formation, and of the competition between bond formation and polymer diffusion in latex films. These principles form the basis for the design of modern coatings that combine high performance with environmental compliance.
