Specifications for coating many forms of infrastructure and equipment include abrasive
cleaning, then measurement of the surface profile and adhesion on the assumption that they …

This paper reviews stress development mechanisms and stress measurement techniques
for polymer coatings. Most polymeric coatings shrink during and after solidification due to …

Materials in Conservation is the definitive introduction to the properties of materials used in
conservation. The continual struggle of conservators to ameliorate the deterioration of …

Failure is defined by a coating's purpose, but a crack is a failure in almost every application.
Cracks cause problems in service when they first arise, well before they are widespread. By …

The purpose of this research was to develop a structured approach for the calculation of
residual stresses in organic coatings through the experimental determination of …

Thin films of polymer coatings have important industrial applications ranging from paints and
coatings to pharmaceuticals. In many applications, the coatings are obtained by applying …

The interest in understanding the stress phenomena in organic coatings became evident as
facts accumulated about its role in coating degradation. There is now no doubt that stress …

In this study, the effect of various micro and nano-sized particles on the mechanical and
adhesion properties of a commercial non-pigmented polyester-TGIC powder coating was …

Cycloaliphatic epoxy–silicone resins were successfully synthesized through a two-step
reaction route:(і) hydrosilylation of 1, 3, 5, 7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (TMCTS) and 1, 2 …

Embedding silver nanowires (AgNWs) into polymer substrates is an effective strategy for
achieving highly efficient transparent electrodes. However, scaling up the embedded …
