Research progress on the performance and application of latex interpenetrating polymer networks
In this paper,the microstructure morphology,damping principle,synthesis and classification of latex interpenetrating polymer networks(LIPN)are introduced. The damping performance influencing factors,the application areas and the research outlook of latex interpenetrating polymer networks are also discussed. The relationship between the damping performance and the structure of LIPN is explained. In the synthesis process,the damping performance is influenced by the crosslinking agent content,ratio of networks,feeding sequence,feeding methods and the filler. LIPN is widely applied in damping coating,leather finishing agent and pigment printing binder. This paper also points out the bottlenecks of current research of latex interpenetrating polymer networks and the future research breakthroughs should focus on new polymerization process,diversity of composition and new characterization methods.
