IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO EMULSIONS FOR ELECTRODEPOSITING POLYMERIC ALLOYS AND COPOLYMERS

摘要

Disclosed is an emulsion having a discontinuous phase which comprises at least two compounds of different structural formula selected from the group consisting of solvent-soluble polymers, oligomers, and monomers dissolved in an organic solvent, and a discontinuous phase which comprises an organic non-solvent for the compounds. A method of coating a conductor with a polymeric alloy is also disclosed. The conductor is immersed in the emulsion and a direct current is applied between the conductor and the emulsion sufficient to cause the discontinuous phase of the emulsion to migrate to the conductor and deposit on it. The conductor is removed from the emulsion and is dried and the deposit is cured.
