The monograph presents the results of studies of the colloidal chemical properties of a wide range of aqueous dispersions of polymers (latexes) and compositions based on them, as well as the mechanisms of their regulation under the influence of various influences. The central place in the book is occupied by the discussion of the systematic study of the behavior of latexes conducted by its authors in the presence of foreign micro-surfaces - mineral powders of various chemical compositions, sizes and morphology. A detailed assessment of the possibility of using classical rheological models and equations to describe the flow curves of concentrated pigmented latexes is given. Directions of practical use of own experimental and theoretical results obtained in recent years are demonstrated.
