A binder formulation, comprising a styrene-butadiene-based copolymer and an epoxysilane.
A method of preparing a binder formulation, comprising mixing an epoxysilane and an aqueous styrene-butadiene-based copolymer to form the binder formulation.
A method of adhering a substrate to a surface, comprising the steps of:
- (1) applying to a surface or to a substrate a binder formulation, comprising water, a styrene-butadiene-based copolymer, and an epoxysilane;
- (2) contacting the surface and the substrate along the binder formulation;
- and
- (3) removing water from the binder formulation.
