Casein-derived materials are highly attractive as a consequence of their environmental friendliness and excellent film-forming properties. Due to the casein hydrophilicity, films containing a large protein content are ...

The use of casein as renewable resource to produce eco-friendly hybrid latexes has an increasing importance in industrial applications especially for high performance waterborne coatings. This work describes the synthesis ...

The replacement of monomers derived from petrochemical sources by biopolymers like proteins, together with the development of new materials with improved properties, have an increasing importance in industrial applications. ...

The production of acrylic/casein nanocomposites constitutes a promising alternative for developing new materials from renewable resources and with an important substitution of petroleum based monomers. Unfortunately, a low ...

Over the last few years casein-based latexes have attracted increasing interest because of their good film-forming properties. This paper investigates the use of acrylic/casein hybrid latexes with a solids content of 35% ...

The incorporation of natural proteins as a renewable resource in the production of hybrid latexes has high interest in academia and industry, due to the opportunity to synthesize novel eco-friendly materials with special ...

En este trabajo de tesis se investiga la síntesis de látex híbridos de acrílico/caseína, con nanoestructura controlada y bajo contenido de compuestos orgánicos volátiles (VOCs), para su potencial aplicación como aglutinante ...
