Controlled radical polymerisation in aqueous systems remains a major challenge in polymer chemistry. Reading tip: Resins for Water-borne CoatingsExpand your knowledge and get fully acquainted with the various aspects of water-borne coatings – from production to properties to special features of their use! With the slow change from solvent-borne resins and coatings to water-borne coatings “Resins for waterborne coatings” is a must-read for any formulator wanting to expand their knowledge. The study highlights the versatility of troponoids in enabling controlled radical polymerisation in aqueous environments.
