Claims20
A modified geopolymer composition that comprises either (i) a stabilized geopolymer-organic polymer latex composition comprising a mixture of a geopolymer and an organic polymer latex;
- or (ii) a highly organic polymer-adherent capable, modified geopolymer composition, the highly organic polymer-adherent capable meaning that the highly organic polymer-adherent capable, modified geopolymer composition is characterizable as being able, after being cured and dried, to bond to a coating-ready surface of an organic polymer substrate (e.g., a surface of an extruded polystyrene foam substrate) with a bond strength of 50 kilopascals (kPa) or greater.
A modified geopolymer composition that is a stabilized geopolymer-organic polymer latex composition comprising a uniform mixture of a geopolymer and an organic polymer latex.
A modified geopolymer composition that is a highly organic polymer-adherent capable, modified geopolymer composition, the highly organic polymer-adherent capable meaning that the highly organic polymer-adherent capable, modified geopolymer composition, after being cured and dried in contact with a coating-ready surface of an organic polymer substrate, would produce a highly organic polymer-adherent cured and dried modified geopolymer layer on the coating-ready surface of the organic polymer substrate, the highly organic polymer-adherent cured and dried modified geopolymer layer being characterizable as adhering to the coating-ready surface, or portion thereof, of the organic polymer substrate with a bond strength of 50.0 kilopascals (kPa) or greater.
A method of preparing a geopolymer-coated organic polymer substrate comprising a dried modified geopolymer layer in adhering operative contact with an organic polymer substrate, the adhering operative contact being characterizable as having a bond strength of 25 kilopascals (kPa) or greater, the method comprising forming the geopolymer-coated organic polymer substrate as a function of drying a cured modified geopolymer precursor layer.
A geopolymer-coated organic polymer substrate comprising a dried modified geopolymer layer in adhering operative contact with a coating-ready surface, or portion thereof, of an organic polymer substrate, the adhering operative contact being characterizable as having a bond strength of 25 kilopascals (kPa) or greater.
