Surface Property Modification of Coatings via Self-Stratification
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Biological fouling occurs everywhere in the marine environment and is a significant problem for marine vessels. Anti-fouling coatings have been used effectively to prevent fouling; however, these coatings harm non-targeted ...
Functional Colloids from Amphiphilic Polymer Assemblies and Peptides/Polypeptides
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The use of responsive polymers, where even minor changes in one of the macromolecular characteristics triggered by the external stimuli can cause drastic changes in the material function or performance, is widely studying ...
Novel Hybrid Polymeric Materials for Barrier Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Polymer-clay nanocomposites, described as the inclusion of nanometer-sized layered silicates into polymeric materials, have been widely researched due to significant enhancements in material properties with the incorporation ...
Magnesium Alloy Particulates used as Pigments in Metal-Rich Primer System for AA2024 T3 Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
As an alternative to the present toxic chromate-based coating system now in use, the Mg-rich primer technology has been designed to protect Al alloys (in particular Al 2024 T3) and developed in analogy to Zn-rich primers ...
Soysomes and Other Functional Biomaterials from Sucrose Soyate Derivatives
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Biomaterials serve as interventional tools in medicine to treat, improve or replace diseased tissues, organs or function of the body. Although several polymeric biomaterials already exist, they often present challenges, ...
Electrically Conductive Polymers and their Use as Novel Pigments in Advanced Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
With the push to more environmentally friendly materials to solve some of the biggest challenges in the coatings industry, electrically conductive polymers (ECPs) are seen as a flexible solution due to their unique properties. ...
Epoxidized Sucrose Soyate and Derivatives as Bioderived Crosslinkers in Various Thermosets
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Throughout the world, alternatives to petrochemically-derived materials are being sought. Aside from petrochemical feedstocks with precarious futures, materials that are derived from renewable resources such as crops are ...
Interaction of Tackifier Resins with Water-based and Olefinic Polymers
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The objective of this research was to investigate the interaction of tackifier resins in water-based and olefinic polymers for potential pressure sensitive adhesive applications. The first part of this research work was ...
Electrochemical Method for Characterization and Ranking of Corrosion Inhibitors
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
One of the most cost-effective methods in mitigating corrosion effects is through the use of corrosion inhibitors. This work studied the performance of eight organic inhibitors on mild steel substrate through electrochemical ...
Magnesium Alloy Particulates Used as Pigments in Metal-Rich Primer System for AA2024 T3 Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
As an alternative to the present toxic chromate-based coating system now in use, the Mg-rich primer technology has been designed to protect A1 alloys (in particular A1 2024 T3) and developed in analogy to Zn-rich primers ...
