Abstract: Embodiments include a coated paper or paperboard with a multilayer coating and methods of forming a coated paper or paperboard with the multilayer coating. The multilayer coating includes a first water vapor barrier layer, a biopolymer barrier layer, and a second water vapor barrier layer and provides the paperboard with improved oil and grease resistant properties, oxygen barrier properties, and water vapor barrier properties.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides embodiments of polymeric particles, aqueous coating compositions, coating compositions, processes of making polymeric particles hydrophobic coatings, processes for making hydrophobic synthetic latex compositions, processes of forming polymeric particle agglomerates for use in a hydrophobic coating, and process of making hydrophobic polymeric binders. In some embodiments, the polymeric particle includes a polymer having an elastic modulus greater than about 108 Pascal (Pa), measured at 25 degrees Celsius (° C.) and at a deformation frequency of 1 radian per second, where the polymeric particle is hydrophobic, and where the hydrophobicity is achieved by polymerizing a monomer in a mixture comprising water and a fatty acid, or salt thereof, where the monomer contains less than about 3 parts acid monomer per 100 parts dry monomer.
