Nevertheless, the lack of water and oxygen resistance of water-based styrofoam coatings has promoted various nanomaterials being studied for modification. To improve the performance of waterborne styrofoam coating, we introduced the graphene nanopowder and expected to enable it with the function of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to reduce the damage of electromagnetic radiation. In this paper, the problem of poor interface compatibility between graphene and polymer resin was successfully addressed by in situ polymerization. In the process of pre-polymerization of styrene\u2013acrylic emulsion monomer, graphene-modified styrene\u2013acrylic emulsion was obtained by introducing graphene aqueous dispersion. The results showed that the styrene\u2013acrylic emulsion with 4 wt% aqueous graphene dispersions exhibited the best dispersion stability, improved water and oxygen resistance, and the conductivity reached 1.89 \u00d7 10\u22122 S\/cm. Then, the graphene-modified coating for building was prepared by using graphene-modified styrofoam emulsion. All the performance indexes of the coating are in line with the industry standards, and it still showed benign EMI shielding effect even when the graphene content was low. It is demonstrated that in situ polymerization technology and the application of graphene in resin coatings modification will promote the development of green coatings.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14183763","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]],"date-time":"2022-09-08T09:51:09Z","timestamp":1662630669000},"page":"3763","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Fabrication of Graphene-Modified Styrene\u2013Acrylic Emulsion by In Situ Aqueous Polymerization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yalin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jieling","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baoquan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8065-6189","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hongjun","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6693-6384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaoli","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2018-4295","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Changlin","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qinghua","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1170-7872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingrong","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Environmental and Resource Sciences, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Polymer Green Recycling of Ministry of Education, Fuzhou 350007, China"},{"name":"Fujian Key Laboratory of Pollution Control & Resource Reuse, Fuzhou 350007, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1007\/s11746-010-1668-9","article-title":"Waterborne Coatings Based on Renewable Oil Resources: An Overview","volume":"88","author":"Athawale","year":"2010","journal-title":"J.
