Abstract

Méthode de préparation de compositions polymères sulfonées selon laquelle des prépolymères dispersables dans l'eau se terminant par l'isocyanate entrent en réaction en présence de dispersions aqueuses de polyvinyle pouvant contenir des atomes d'hydrogène actif. En outre, l'invention concerne un latex hybride de polyvinyle de polyuréthanne sulfonée à base d'eau, où la polyuréthanne sulfonée est utilisée en tant que germe lors de la polymérisation de monomères non saturés d'éthylène, ainsi qu'une méthode de fabrication de ladite composition. Les compositions inventées peuvent développer un alliage IPN ou former des structures du type noyau-enveloppe et se distinguent par leurs propriétés mécaniques et leur adhérence améliorées.
