Aqueous Emulsions of Polysyloxane Polyblock Copolymers as a Basis for Weatherproof Protective Coatings

详细

On the way to solving the problem of developing an ecofriendly technology for preparing hydrophobic protective coatings to replace the existing technology involving casting from polymer solutions in toxic organic solvents, amphiphilic organosilicon oligomers, promising emulsifiers for preparing aqueous emulsions of organosilicon polymers, were synthesized. The synthesized oligomers were used to obtain stable aqueous emulsions of a film-forming silicone block copolymer. The resulting emulsions can be used to form hydrophobic protective coatings on the surface of construction materials. It was shown that the contact angle of wetting depends on the specific features of the preparation of the emulsion and reaches a maximum of 134°.
