These volumes are an invaluable resource for research workers and end-users in academia and industry working on water-based paints, adhesives, emulsions, dispersions and coatings as a comprehensive account of the science of polymer latices. Volume 1, Fundamental Chemistry of Latices Applications in Adhesives This book covers the fundamental chemistry of latices and their applications in adhesives. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety. Volume 2, Latices in Surface Coatings - Emulsion Paints This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to emulsion paints. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety. Volume 3, Latices in Surface Diverse Applications This volume discusses latices in surface coatings in regards to diverse applications. These water-based latices are playing a far greater role in many applications and match the growing concern over environmental safety.
