Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of polymeric microspheres with a high surface Young's modulus and a relatively low core Young's modulus. The dispersion of the present invention is useful in paint formulations for providing improving hydrophobic stain resistance, for example, resistance to lipstick.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silicate-modified high-toughness and low-heat polymer grouting material for reinforcement, which belongs to the technical field of materials. About 60% by weight of the raw materials of the silicate modified grouting material of the present invention is the silicate modified aqueous solution, and about 40% is the structural flame retardant isocyanate, and main components of the polymer grouting material are classified into inorganic components according to the main total proportion. The silicate-modified high-toughness and low-heat polymer grouting material for reinforcement of the present invention has excellent flame retardancy and compressive performance, wherein a compressive strength is ?60 MPa, an oxygen index is ?30%, and a maximum reaction temperature is ?100° C., an odor grade (80° C.) is ?3.5, a fog test is ?5 mg (no physical additive flame retardant diffuses to the environment), bonding is ?3 MPa, a shear strength is ?20 MPa, and a tensile strength is ?20 MPa.
