Abstract:
The present study describes the preparation of Vinyl acetate-Butyl
acrylate copolymer lattices of varying compositions and solid contents by
semicontinuous emulsion polymerization method. This copolymer lattices were
used as binder to develop a new surface coating formulation. The properties of
this surface coating were improved by using nano TiO2 colloidal sol as a
pigment. Antimicrobial activity of surface coatings was improved by the
addition of carboxymethyl chitosan as biocide. Uniformly dispersed tyre crumb
was used to give a mat finish to the coating. The mechanical properties adhesive
properties, thermal properties etc. of the coatings are presented in thesis.
