The reaction of coating components in the dispersion determines its flow properties, water retention and immobilization.The first step in this work is to evaluate if an adsorption of binders on pigments occurs.After determined the adsorption isotherms, the heat of interaction will be measured by microcalorimetry.In this work both non-dispersed and dispersed kaolin and calcium carbonate pigment will be used.The binder will be different callulose derivates and latexes.The Microcalorimeter will be an important instrument to investigate the interactions, but also other instrument like UV-VIS, Ellipsometry, Raman and the Rheometer will be necessary.
