Herein, it is reported that synthesis of poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate) latexes containing ZnO and TiO2 nanoparticles was carried out using miniemulsion polymerization. The synthesized latexes and films cast from them were characterized by …

Growing demand for comfortable, clean and hygienic textile goods has given rise to an urgent need for the production of antimicrobial textile goods. As new technologies emerge, the increasing needs of end-users in terms of health and hygiene can …

An electrostatic rotating bell atomizer was used to produce a spray of a 20 wt% aqueous glycerol solution. Droplet size distributions were measured by photographing droplets in-flight and using image analysis software to measure their diameters.

In the present research article, a hyperbranched alkyd resin was synthesized by using bio-based material (castor oil based fatty amide) and pyromellitic dianhydride. The synthesized hyperbranched alkyd resin was characterized by nuclear magnetic …

Three urethane methacrylates, one monofunctional derivative and two di-functional derivatives with different chain lengths were used as reactive diluents in UV-curable polyester powder coatings. Each reactive diluent was formulated with a …

Thermoset coatings are considered as the undisputed option for many industrial applications. In these systems, functionalized oligomers or polymers are combined with a suitable crosslinker. Under appropriate conditions, the non-reversible chemical …

Temperature affects the emission behavior of formaldehyde from coatings. Initial emittable concentration (C0), diffusion coefficient (Dm) and partition coefficient (K) are three key parameters for characterizing the formaldehyde emission from …

This article describes the study of the topography effect of superhydrophobic surfaces on the corrosion protection performance of steel through the air plastron behavior when subjected to an underwater environment. A random superhydrophobic …

Intumescent coatings employ the heat barrier effect of an expanded char in the fire protection of the underlying substrates. The effectiveness of an intumescent system is dependent on the strength and ability of the char to remain intact upon …

In this article, the applications and modification methods of graphene-based materials [graphene and graphene oxide (GO)] in an organic anticorrosive coating were reviewed. First, this paper introduces the application of graphene-based materials …

In this paper, a kind of silicone containing double bond and hydrogen bond has been synthesized via telomerization. In order to disperse and incorporate ZnO into the polymer matrix, ZnO was modified with silicone. Finally, ZnO/polyacrylate and …

Transparent intumescent fire-retardant (IFR) coatings are the newest passive fireproofing materials which maintain structural integrity without losing aesthetic appearance of the substrate. In this present paper, effects of three IFR coatings with …

To shed light on the self-stratification mechanism in epoxy–acrylic coatings, 200-, 400-, and 800-micron-thick coatings were applied on glass and aluminum substrates, and their solidification behavior was studied. Some of the applied coats showed …

Poly(o-bromophenol-co-N-methylaniline) [poly(OBP-co-NMA)] was electropolymerized in an acidic medium at 30°C under inert atmosphere. The formed polymer was characterized using IR spectroscopy, XRD, SEM and TGA analysis. The efficiency of the …

This study focuses on the inkjet printing of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) spherical and platelet nanoparticle-based nanoflakes with typical sizes ranging from 700 to 800 nm. The AZO nanoparticles were synthesized by aqueous precipitation. The …

Waterborne epoxy curing agent plays a key part in the waterborne epoxy resin coatings, directly affecting the physical and chemical properties of the coating film. Here, we present triethylene tetramine (TETA), polypropylene glycol diglycidyl …

The thickness of the film produced by spin coating is different from the theoretically calculated thickness based on the Newtonian fluid equation. In this study, the rotational time and rotational speed (in revolutions per minute [RPM]) were used …

In this work, we evaluate the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), the permeability (P), solubility (S), and diffusion (D) coefficients of Paraloid B44, Paraloid B72, and Incralac coatings in the temperature range of 5–35°C. The Arrhenius …

Atmospheric icing on structures and equipment represents a challenge for operation and safety. Passive ice removal by ice-phobic coatings has received much attention over the last decades. The current state-of-the-art methods for quantifying the …

The design and development of efficient approaches for water–oil separation have had widespread interest. Most previously introduced techniques and materials used for development of the successful separation of oily wastewater could not answer all …
