The fire-resistant & waterproof coatings for wood protection are highly demanded to reduce
fire risk and save lives because wooden furniture and in-house decorations are widely used …

The chemical structure, polymer mobility and mechanical properties are studied for a cross-
linked amorphous poly (ether urethane)(PU) from glass transition to rubber elasticity for …

PEG-modification is a proven method to enhance the hydrophilicity, protein resistance, and
anti-biofouling properties of polymer coatings. It is considered as the gold standard …

Scratch resistance is important for maintaining car appearance. It is thus important to
understand how scratch characteristics change over time. Although accelerated weathering …

Incorporation of hydrophilic and hydrophobic agents into a polymer backbone is an effective
approach to control its interfacial characteristics. Segmented polyurethanes (PUs) are easy …

Accelerated weathering test was performed on blends of linear low density polyethylene
(LLDPE) and plastic film waste constituting the following percentages of polyolefin polymers …

This paper is devoted to the surface analysis of a polyester-urethane coating during
weathering under different conditions using artificial weathering machines. By means of …

Photo‐aging has been manifested as the main threat to the service performance of organic
coatings, but the deterioration of intumescent flame retarding coatings (IFRC) is scarcely …

The study of photo-degradation and stabilization of polymers has an extremely importance
from academic, economic and environmental point of view and a better understanding of the …

Local heterogeneities can have significant effects on the performance of anti-corrosion
coatings. Even small features can act as initiation points for damage and result in corrosion …
