Arrays von n wässrigen Polymerdispersionen und m Formulierungen wässriger Polymerdispersionen

摘要

The invention relates to combinatory methods for producing an array of n aqueous polymer dispersions by emulsion polymerization and for producing an array of m formulations of polymer dispersions, in addition to the arrays themselves. The methods are carried out at n or m spatially separated locations for the n or m formulations. To carry out the emulsion polymerization, monomers, an initiator, a dispersant and optionally additional components are reacted with one another in water, which acts as the reaction medium. To produce the formulations, aqueous polymer dispersions are mixed with other aqueous polymer dispersions and/or additional components. In all methods, each one of the n or m formulations differs from the other formulation in at least one respective parameter, which can influence the characteristics of the polymer dispersions or formulations that are obtained. The advantage of the invention is that said method allows a large number of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations to be produced and characterized. This accelerates the development of aqueous polymer dispersions and formulations with optimized characteristics.
