Da. Raval et al., ACID-FUNCTIONAL ACRYLIC COPOLYMER MODIFIED ALKYDS FOR APPLICATIONS INSURFACE-COATINGS, Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research, 55(10), 1996, pp. 806-810
An acid functional n-butylmethacrylate-co-maleic anhydride addition co
polymer has been synthesized by free radical initiated solution polyme
rization technique. This copolymer has been used in varying proportion
s to modify linseed oil based alkyd resin to obtain a series of acryla
ted alkyds. Coating compositions have been prepared using these acryla
ted alkyds by blending them in different ratios with butylated melamin
e formaldehyde resin (MF). Various baked film properties of these comp
ositions have been studied.
