Book Title: Material Design and Latest Applications Related to Water and Functional Polymers
★ Points for Achieving Desired Resin Functions: Dissolving in Water, Being Insoluble, Repelling Water, Wetting with Water...
■ Key Points of This Book
◆ The Relationship Between Water and Resins/Polymers
- The presence or absence of hydroxyl groups, the SP value of the polymer, and the relationship between interfacial free energy and "wettability"
- Why do polymers that are supposed to be water-resistant experience water degradation?
- Types, selection, and usage of "surfactants" that act as "dispersants" in water
◆ Functions and Applications of Water Solubility, Water Absorption, and Water Dispersion
- Water-decomposable resins and water-resistant paper coatings addressing the marine plastic problem
- Thickeners, gelling agents, coagulants, cleaning agents, cosmetics, hygiene products like "diapers," and environmentally friendly inks and labels
- Improving the crosslinking of water-based resins and selecting additives
◆ Applications for Water Repellency, Hydrophilicity, Waterproofing, and Corrosion Resistance
- Functional group control, charge control, surface modification, and controlling the "wettability" of resins
- Aesthetics of buildings, stain removal, fingerprint resistance, rust prevention for electronic devices, and countermeasures against salt damage
