Abstract

This invention relates to a process for using computerized molecular interaction modeling to predict the adhesive interactions between a substrate and a polymer. The molecular modeling method may be used to predict and select optimal adhesion promoting monomers for use in latex polymer coatings, providing the best wet adhesion to alkyd-coated substrates. The molecular modeling method could also predict substrate polymer pairs having the least affinity, and thus the most useful as a release liner. The method involves the steps of:
