Environmental and industrial applications of nanoparticle-integrated polymer coatings via emulsion polymerization

Author : Chinmaya Chandra Nayak and Dr. Anil Sharma

Abstract

This paper explores the synthesis, characterization, and application of nanoparticle-integrated polymer coatings produced through emulsion polymerization. These coatings exhibit enhanced mechanical, thermal, and functional properties due to the incorporation of nanoparticles such as silica, titanium dioxide (TiO2), graphene oxide (GO), and silver (Ag). The study assesses their potential applications in biomedical devices, automotive industries, packaging solutions, and environmental protection. Furthermore, an evaluation of their sustainability and eco-friendliness is conducted, emphasizing biodegradable polymer matrices and green synthesis approaches. Analytical techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), are utilized for characterization. The findings highlight the promising role of nanoparticle-integrated polymer coatings in advancing material sciences and sustainable industrial applications.
