Business Wire
Specialty materials company Rohm and Haas (NYSE:ROH) is pleased
to announce that Dr. Zhenwen Fu, a distinguished scientist with the
company�s Paint and Coatings Materials division, was awarded �Best
Paper� recognition during the 2009 European Coatings Show Congress
held in N�rnberg, Germany. Dr. Fu�s paper presented findings
related to a new diffusion technology in latex paint film
formulations. In latex based coatings, volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) are used as coalescents to ensure film formation. This new
technology significantly improves early property development of
waterborne latex coatings in a reduced, low VOC formulation that
maintains coalescence performance to achieve required hardness,
block, print and dirt pick-up resistance necessary for industrial
coatings.
�Producing industrial coatings in reduced VOC latex paint
formulations has been increasingly difficult to achieve while still
meeting required environmental regulations,� said Dr. Fu. Designed
Diffusion technology as advanced by Dr. Fu is a paradigm shift in
film formulation that balances coatings properties through careful
design of the polymer system and the selection of a coalescent
package with unique partition coefficient and diffusion rate
between different phases of the polymer system. This paper presents
detailed evidence of this Designed Diffusion technology with
analytical, physical and application data.
Dr. Fu has contributed to over 50 patents and publications in
the areas of metal and semiconductor clusters, analytical method
development and instrumentation, latex film formation, colloidal
science, paper coatings and inkjet ink technology.�He received a
B.Sc. degree in Chemistry from Jilin University in Changchun, China
and a Ph.D. degree in Physical Chemistry from the University of
Utah in the United States.
