Enhanced water barrier properties of surfactant-free polymer films obtained by macroRAFT-mediated emulsion polymerization

The presence of low-molar-mass surfactants in latex films results in detrimental effects on their water permeability, gloss, and adhesion. For applications such as coatings, there is a need to develop formulations that do not contain surfactants and have better water barrier properties. Having previ...
