Abstract

The article analyzes publications on various methods of modification of water-based acrylic copolymers and provides the advantages and disadvantages of water-based acrylic coatings.  The physical and chemical modification methods that make it possible to change the properties of water-based acrylic copolymers are considered. The paper shows the practical use of these modification methods for increasing water and corrosion resistance, as well as thermal and physical-mechanical properties of water-based acrylic coatings.
