We demonstrated an innovative strategy to synthesize a biobased multifunctional anti-
scratch agent (BCP) based on biomass cardanol, and its properties impact for polypropylene …

Appearance control has continuously been a major challenge to the automotive industry. In
order to implement a consistent control on the appearance of automotive finishes, objective …

Ice accumulation is a key and unsolved problem for many composite structures with polymer
matrices, eg, wind turbines and airplanes. One of the solutions to avoid icing is to use anti …

In this paper a typical acrylic melamine clearcoat has been modified with hyperbranched
polymer and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane nanostructures to simultaneously …

The present work has studied the influence of an OH-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) nano-structure on the scratch resistance of a typical acrylic …

Curing characteristics of melamine-based automotive clearcoats with or without thermal
radical initiator (TRI) derived from an O-imino-isourea have been examined by means of …

Isocyanate crosslinkers with blocking agents based on various amine derivatives were
newly synthesized for automotive clearcoat applications. Amine-based blocking agents were …

The present work reports preparation of acrylic/melamine based clearcoats with different
loadings of a functionalized polysiloxane additive. The resulting films were applied over a …

The objective of this work is enhancing the clearcoat resistance against simulated tree gum
