A new theory to help explain the mechanism of latex film formation is advanced. The essential features of this theory are that: (1) the major energy source for film formation is the heat of the surroundings; this heat is converted to useful (film-forming) work by evaporation of the water; the incipi
The significance of cracking and microcracking caused by nonuniform drying shrinkage of test specimens is analyzed. To assure that no cracks are produced by drying in load-free specimens, one must lower the environmental humidity gradually and sufficiently slowly, and use very thin specimens (about
