March JCTR Topics Include Designing Highly Flexible Coatings and a New Accelerated Weathering Protocol

摘要

The March issue of the Journal of Coatings Technology and Research (Vol. 10, No. 2, 2013) features 14 original research articles. Leading off the issue is a novel approach to the design of highly flexible coatings based on glycidyl carbamate (GC) chemistry. To obtain coatings with good flexibility, several GC resins were synthesized using linear and cy-cloaliphatic diisocyanates and a combination of diols and triol with glycidol. The coatings were characterized to determine their flexibility, as well as chemical resistance, hardness, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. The influence of the diisocyanate composition and composition of diols and triol on the performance of the coatings is examined.
