Two sets of opaque water-based acrylic coatings were prepared with IR-reflective pigments and conventional pigments. The objective of this work was to determine the efficiency of IR-reflective pigments in limiting the heat buildup of opaque coating formulations. Experiments performed on PVC substrates revealed that IR-reflective pigments significantly decreased the temperature increase above ro...

The adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans on mucin coatings was evaluated to explore the feasibility of using the coating to increase the infection resistance of biomaterials. Coatings of bovine submaxillary mucin (BSM) were deposited on a base layer consisting of a poly(acrylic acid-b-methyl methacrylate) (PAA-b-PMMA) diblock copolymer. This bi-layer sy...

This study evaluated the properties of adhesion, cracking, rusting, and accumulated irradiance on surface four vinyl acrylic resin coatings. QUV accelerated aging technique was applied. The coatings in cyclic form controlled by tests atmospheric temperature relative humidity. A paper money currency validator counterfeit has been used because its constant 1,41 mW/cm2; a power 9 W UV radiation; 2...

Bi4Ti3O12 ferroelectric nanomaterials are mainly used in the manufacture of biosensors, biomedical imaging reagents, or other applications. Due to different arrangements nanoparticles, complex nanofibers with specific geometries can be obtained. In this paper, were study volatilization state acrylic paint coating process. This article explains that some nanoparticles difficult dispersed spinnin...
