At present, the development of waterborne resins is extremely rapid, with hundreds of related research articles and patents emerging in endlessly, especially the multiple hybrid (or hybrid) waterborne resins springing up like mushrooms. The preparation of waterborne resins can include external emulsification and self-emulsification. From the perspective of the preparation reaction principle, self-emulsifying waterborne resins can also have multiple copolymerization reactions, block and graft reactions, group addition or condensation reactions, blending and cross-linking reactions, radiation-induced modification and cross-linking reactions.
In terms of varieties and components, waterborne resins have homopolymers (especially the two monomers with different properties), binary copolymerization (or composite), ternary copolymerization (or hybrid), and even quaternary or quinary hybrid with good practicability are common. For example, the binary hybrid includes acrylic acid-alkyd, acrylic acid-epoxy resin, acrylic acid-polyurethane resin, acrylic acid-silicon resin, acrylic acid-fluoride resin, epoxy-polyurethane, epoxy-silicon, epoxy-fluorine, etc; The ternary ones are acrylic acid-epoxy-polyurethane, acrylic acid-epoxy-silicon, acrylic acid-epoxy-fluoride; The quaternion includes acrylic acid-epoxy-polyurethane-silicon-containing (fluorine-containing) resin, and can even prepare the core/shell type mentioned above, and the more diversified water-based resin mixed with inorganic nano-materials.
The multi-component hybrid water-based resin system includes multi-components. The components in the system include not only copolymerization (graft, block) compounds generated by various reactions, but also homopolymers containing certain monomers. It is a very complex composite system. Changing the preparation formula, process steps, conditions, and the prepared multi-component hybrid waterborne resin can give play to the characteristics of their respective components, make them produce synergistic effects, reduce their shortcomings, and take advantage of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, so as to obtain a variety of different composition and excellent performance of the hybrid waterborne resin, which can meet the various use requirements of different fields, different environments, and different construction conditions.
