Abstract Liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) coatings offer avenues for the fabrication of devices with smart surfaces incorporating responsive topography, reflectivity, or polarization from their unique anisotropic optical and mechanical properties. LCPs have most commonly been made by photopolymerization reactive mesogens within confined cells. Here, an alternative method preparing LCP using ini...

This paper reports the results of studying effect two additives such as polyether siloxane (PS) and sodium polyacrylate (SPA) on wetting various substrates in water-borne paints (WB paints). Titanium dioxide (TiO2), paraffin (PA), steel (ST), glass (GL) were used solid substrates. The edge angle (?0) ratio (dCos?/d?S) criterion for assessing wettability In aqueous solutions (without acrylic res...

The natural spruce wood has low resistance against biological degradation and weather effects, so further protection is required, up to meeting the durability requirements for used in exterior classes. According preservatives standards, coatings as water repellents belong group OS (organic solvent) preservatives. have a water-repellent function, they are not toxic, these advantages make them us...

Embedding melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin-coated shellac microcapsules in waterborne coatings can extend the service longevity of on a wood surface to certain extent. Due content limitation self-repairing coatings, effective self-healing performance time is short. With aim improving properties Microberlinla sp substrate, more mechanism was achieved by impregnating ebony substrate several times...

This paper presents results on the protective properties of different coatings over metals representative those found in scientific–technical heritage collections. An examination several objects collection Spanish National Museum Science and Technology have allowed identification brass steel as most metals, existence (mainly shellac acrylic resins) applied for aesthetic and/or conservation purp...

As one of the key products whole wood custom home, study environmental protection coating technology for wallboard has practical significance. Waterborne acrylic acid (WAA), as an important research object environmentally friendly coatings, been studied mainly in area modification. However, there is less on its application to field wallboard. Herein, we developed a facile strategy prepare WAA r...

In this work, polypyrrole/CeO2 nanocomposite (NC) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. The field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) images indicate that the CeO2 NPs have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous PPycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the CeO2 core by the PPy shell. The effect ofNC on acrylic waterbor...
