2. Emulsion stabilization using polyelectrolytes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_stabilization...

   The two main types of emulsions are oil-in-water (nonpolar in polar) and water-in-oil (polar in nonpolar). The difference depends upon the nature of the surfactant or polyelectrolyte in question. The hydrophilic pieces will attract the polar solvent, creating a water-in-oil emulsion and the hydrophobic pieces will attract the nonpolar solvent ...

3. Polyvinyl alcohol - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_alcohol

   Polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH 2 CH(OH)] n. It is used in papermaking, textile warp sizing, as a thickener and emulsion stabilizer in polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) adhesive formulations, in a variety of coatings, and 3D printing. It is colourless (white) and odorless.

4. Emulsion polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion_polymerization

   When water-soluble polymers are used as stabilizers instead of soap, the repulsion between particles arises because these water-soluble polymers form a 'hairy layer' around a particle that repels other particles, because pushing particles together would involve compressing these chains.

5. Textile stabilization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_stabilization

   Coptic tunic tapestry fragment displaying characteristic physical deterioration that is treated through stabilization techniques. Textile stabilization is a conservation method for fiber and yarn-based cloth intended to mitigate damage, prevent degradation and preserve structural integrity.

6. Modified starch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_starch

   Modified starch may also be a cold-water-soluble, pregelatinized or instant starch which thickens and gels without heat, or a cook-up starch which must be cooked like regular starch. Drying methods to make starches cold-water-soluble are extrusion , drum drying , spray drying or dextrinization .

7. Suspension polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_polymerization

   Suspension polymerization is divided into two main types, depending on the morphology of the particles that result. In bead polymerization, the polymer is soluble in its monomer and the result is a smooth, translucent bead. In powder polymerization, the polymer is not soluble in its monomer and the resultant bead will be porous and irregular. [5]

8. Wet process engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_process_engineering

   Fresh water: Most water used in the textile industry is from deep well water which is found 800 ft below the surface level. The main problem which is concerned with using water in textile processes is water hardness caused by the presence of soluble salts of metals including calcium and magnesium. Iron, aluminum, and copper salts may also ...

9. Waterborne resins - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterborne_resins

   Most coatings have four basic components. These are the resin, solvent, pigment and additive systems [5] but the resin or binder is the key ingredient. Continuing environmental legislation in many countries along with geopolitics such as oil production are ensuring that chemists are increasingly turning to waterborne technology for paint/coatings and since resins or binders are the most ...
