A novel strategy for enhancing comprehensive properties of polyacrylate coating: Incorporation of highly dispersed zinc ions by using polyacrylic acid as carrier

The incorporation of metal ions into polyacrylate coating shows great potential in enhancing the performances of polyacrylate coatings, as well as providing additional functionalities. Herein, we developed a new type of water-soluble polyacrylic acid-Zn(II) composite (PAA-Zn) via the coordination of Zn2+ ions and carboxyl groups of PAA, which showed an extremely high stability in water in a wide range of pH (2–11). It was also facilely applied...
