Blends of Conventionally Sized and Nanoparticle Latexes; Coatings Based Thereon; Improved Process for Production of Nanoparticle Latexes

Technology #3017.2

The invention is a composition of matter in which polymer latexes with conventionally sized particles are blended with polymer latexes with nanoparticle sized particles. A sub-set of the invention is coatings based on these blends. The combination of particle sizes improves the overall performance of the latex. Another aspect of the invention is an improved process for making nanoparticle latexes.
