This paper focuses on the study of thermomechanical properties of polyester acrylate (PEA) resins based on poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and isosorbide with incorporation of 1/ diacid chains ranging from succinic acid (C4) to azelaic acid (C9) and 2/ diols with various structures such as butane...detailed
Non-toxic coating formulations, i.e. without isocyanate, formaldehyde and toxic amines are a topic in the coating industries since decades. The replacement of cross-linking agents or functional groups to non-toxic compounds reduced often the mechanical properties of the coating film or just one ...detailed
The rate and severity of polyurethane (PU) coating degradation is due to a combination of both abiotic and biotic factors. The contribution of biotic factors to the degradation process has not been fully realized, in part, because it is assumed that microorganisms cannot survive exclusively on p...detailed
