Polyurethane elastomers have a combination of excellent mechanical, physical and
chemical properties along with exceptional biocompatibility. Therefore, these elastomeric …

Epoxy (EP) resins have been widely used and thus subjected to extensive investigations
over the past few decades. It is well known that EP resins are brittle and show poor …

Surface modification and characterization of TiO2 nano-particles as an additive in a
polyurethane clear coat were investigated. For the improvement of nano-particles dispersion …

Wood has been used for thousands of years and remains an important material in the
construction industry, most often protected with coatings. Development of nanotechnology …

Abstract Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were obtained by a direct precipitation method.
The TEM photograph demonstrated that the synthesized ZnO NPs were of a pseudo …

A series of nanocomposite coatings (PBS) consisting of silane functional polybenzoxazine
(PB-TMOS) and SiO 2 nanoparticles were developed for corrosion protection of mild steel …

This study aims to assess the effect of two different colloidal silver amount on the durability
and biocidal activity of a water-borne wood paint. The influence of this multifunctional …

Poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) based nanocomposites containing hydrophilic (ie Aerosil
200 or Aerosil TT 600) or hydrophobic (ie Aerosil R 972) nano-silica were prepared by melt …

Anticorrosion performance of a clear epoxy coating was enhanced by the incorporation of
modified nano-silica into the polymer matrix. The surface of nano-silica was treated with 3 …

This study aims to assess the effect of two different amounts of bio a renewable black
pigment derived from wood waste on the durability of a bio-based wood paint. The effect of …
