Novel Biobased Resins using Sucrose Esters of Plant Oils
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Interest in using renewable raw materials to prepare biobased monomers, polymers, and materials is rapidly increasing. The goal of the research described is to develop branched polyesters of plant oil fatty acids, using ...
Improving Sustainability in Protective Coating Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Sustainability has been a driving factor in the recent development of protective coating systems, from reducing volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), integrating biomass for the replacement of petrochemicals, to reducing the ...
Organic Coatings to Protect Ferrous Structures
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Corrosion induces damages that can result in enormous costs and safety issues. Steels are the most commonly used metallic structural materials but they can corrode rapidly when exposed to corrosive environments and need ...
Magnesium Rich Primer for the Corrosion Protection of Aluminum Alloys: Investigation, Improvement and Application
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The goals of this research are to develop deeper understanding of the corrosion protection mechanism of Mg-rich primer (MgRPs), improve corrosion protection performance of MgRPs, and extend the application of MgRPs. To ...
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. ...
