Recent Developments in Water-Based Coatings for the Transport Industry (original) (raw)

2000

Abstract

This industry based study involved the characterisation of novel waterborne coatings alongside their solvent-borne alternatives using qualitative and semi-qualitative techniques. Amongst the methods used were scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), Australian paint standard tests, and tensile testing according to linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) theory. Although the first waterborne alkyd emulsion type coating tested was shown to be inferior in most aspects, the second waterborne acrylic copolymer coating was generally found to be superior to the solvent-borne counterparts.
