Study on Preparation and Property of Acrylic Resins Used for Water-Based Ink

Abstract:

In this paper, a kind of water-soluble acrylic emulsion with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and butyl acrylate (BA) as hard and soft monomer respectively, acrylic acid (AA) and hydroxypropyl methacrylate as functional monomers, ammonium persulfate (APS) and ammonia as initiator and neutralizer respectively, was prepared by emulsion polymerization. The resulting emulsion possesses high solid content, low viscosity, high stability and film-forming properties, indicating that it would be applicable to water-based ink. The effect of the ratio of MMA to BA on the film-forming properties of resin and the influence of AA and HPA on the water-soluble property and viscosity of resin were investigated, and the relationship of reaction temperature and the emulsion stability was also studied. This paper can provides a certain reference to synthesis of acrylic resin and application of acrylic resin to the water-based ink.
