• Sommario/riassunto: Dispersions are used as coatings and adhesives. They consist of small particles which are dispersed in a solvent. Because large quantities of solvent are required, environmentally-friendly solvents are increasingly important. This book discusses the fundamentals of aqueous polymer dispersions, among the most used solvents, with particular focus on applications.
