The present invention pertains to nanoemulsions of alkyd in aqueous liquids and e.g. nanoemulsions prepared by emulsifying an alkyd mixture in an aqueous liquid, said alkyd mixture comprising an alkyd and an unsaturated hydroxy fatty acid. The invention furthermore pertains to methods of producing the nanoemulsion, and to uses of the nanoemulsion and/or the alkyd nano droplets contained therein.

An aqueous emulsion may include an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) as a dispersant and a polymer (B) which contains an ethylenically unsaturated monomer unit as a dispersoid, wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A) has an ethylene unit content of 1 mol % or more and less than 20 mol %; and a crystallinity in water at 30° C. (Cw (30° C.)) and a crystallinity in water at 70° C. (Cw (70° C.)) as determined by pulse NMR satisfying formula (I). Such aqueous emulsions can form fewer aggregates and exhibit excellent water-resistant adhesiveness and excellent film formability.

A high-strength high-modulus graphene/nylon-6 fiber and a preparation method thereof are provided. The fiber is obtained through processing modified graphene and caprolactam with in situ polymerization and high-speed melt spinning. A graphene/nylon-6 composite is provided, which is obtained through compositing the modified graphene, the caprolactam and an additive. Based on the composite, a graphene/nylon-6 fabric with a permanent far-infrared healthcare function and a graphene/nylon-6 fabric with an ultraviolet protective property are provided, whose far-infrared property and ultraviolet protective property will not be attenuated due to an increase of fabric washing times, having a great market potential.
