A Versatile Core-Shell Nanoparticle <br>A Solution to Coating Challenges
An exception to this is the work of Dr. Janos Borbely, Head of the Department of Colloid and Environmental Chemistry of the University of Debrecen in eastern Hungary. Borbely, a polymer chemist, has created an innovative nanoscale polymer particle technology, developed over many years, which he believes will offer significant benefits, not only for the coatings industry but other areas as well.
After recruiting a small number of dedicated investors, ElizaNor Polymer was formed to continue the funding of Prof. Borbely’s research. The basis of his technology is core-shell macromolecular particle morphology. The polymer particle is nanoscale in size, is soluble in most organic solvents and is heavily crosslinked. Core-shell polymer technology has been known some 20 years, having been used for industrial applications in coatings, paper manufacturing and adhesives.
