In this chapter, the potentiality of using a natural polymer (casein) and acarbohydrate (monosaccharides) as raw material to produce waterbornelatexes for coating applications will be presented. Indeed, casein is a ...

The biocide cations Ag+ and Zn2+ were hosted in the cavities of an ordered aluminosiliceous framework.Starting from sodium A-type zeolite (NaA), LTA containing Ag+ (AgA), Zn2+ (ZnA) and Ag+/Zn (AgZnA) at different cation ...

There is a great concern about the indoor microbial colonization especially in places that should have high standards of environmental hygiene. Besides, due it shortened the useful life of the coating by discoloration and ...

In this study, two different bio-based waterborne polyurethanes (WBPUs) that use castor oil and tartaric acid in their formulations were modified by the incorporation of a renewable reinforcement, cellulose nanocrystals ...

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 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 ...

The increasing pressure from consumers and policy makers to reduce the use of synthetic polymers, whose production contributes to the depletion of non-renewable resources and are usually non-biodegradable, has prompted the ...
