A method for printing onto a substrate is disclosed. An ink is printed onto a liquid polymer layer to form a printed polymer layer. Printed substrates are also disclosed.

The disclosure relates to coating compositions. More particularly the disclosure relates to coating compositions including graphene and a hindered amine stabilizer (HALS). The compositions can be provided as a dispersion of graphene in a single liquid phase comprising the HALS, or as a dispersion of graphene in a multi-phase system of two or more immiscible liquids and comprising the HALS. The graphene includes graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), graphene oxide nanoplatelets (GNOPs), or both.

An aqueous coating composition contains (A) an emulsion polymer comprising, based on the weight of the emulsion polymer, from 5% to 28% by weight of structural units of a cycloalkyl (meth) acrylate, from 0.05% to 10% by weight of structural units of a phosphorous acid monomer, a salt thereof, or mixtures thereof, from zero to 10% by weight of an additional ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer, a salt thereof, or mixture thereof, and structural units of an additional monoethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer; (B) a specific amount of an aliphatic carboxylic acid of formula (I) HOOCR.sub.1COOH, (II) R.sub.2COOH or combinations thereof, a salt thereof, or mixtures thereof; and (C) from 2.6% to 10% by weight of an anticorrosive pigment, based on the weight of the aqueous coating composition.

Methods of scavenging formaldehyde from passing air such as in the interior of buildings by exposing a cured coating composition to passing air. The coating composition includes a binder, pigment, and a formaldehyde scrubbing urea compound. A cured coating formed from the coating composition absorbs formaldehyde and other air pollutants from passing air.

Particularly, the dark-colored LiDAR-reflective material comprises has a reflectivity in the visible spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is ?10% and a reflectivity in the near-IR and LiDAR spectrum of electromagnetic radiation that is ?10%.

A waterborne coating composition which includes a film-forming binder and composite particles comprising wax and a metal oxide, such as wax encapsulated zinc oxide, provides enhanced mildew resistance.

The disclosed technology generally relates to methods of forming foamed and non-foamed aqueous rubbers for use in automotive applications and which are configured to provide vibration and noise damping. In one aspect, a method of forming an elastomer comprises forming a latex solution and then curing the latex solution. Forming the latex solution comprises forming a medium by mixing water and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (glycol ether EB) and then adding to the medium a rheology modifier, a dispersing agent, a wetting agent, a filler material, and a latex suspension. Water makes up 50-90 wt. % of the latex solution.

The present invention pertains to compositions containing a first population of water-insoluble particles and a polyol poly(hydroxy fatty acid) ester emulsifier, such as for example coatings or paint compositions containing inorganic pigment dispersed in an organic binder and/or organic solvent. The present invention furthermore relates to methods of producing such compositions and various uses.
