High performance UV-cured coatings for wood protection

Fluorinated networks through photopolymerisation processes: synthesis, characterisation and properties

“…258) the fluorine concentration reaches that of the pure monomer [28]. The adhesion on polar substrates such as wood has been tested under severe hygro-thermal conditions [35]: as the additives are migrated on the air side, it is dependent only on the epoxy matrix. Therefore, it is satisfactory also in the presence of the additives [36].…”

Kinetics of radical telomerization of vinylidene fluoride in the presence of CCl3Z chain transfer agents

“…In addition, they are non-sticky, resistant to UV, ageing, and to concentrated mineral acids and alkalis. Hence, their fields of applications are numerous [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]: paints and coatings, textile finishings, elastomers, membranes, surfactants and fire fighting agents [5], biomaterials, and thermostable polymers for aerospace [6][7][8][9].…”

Synthetic clay nanocomposite‐based coatings prepared by UV‐cure photopolymerization

“…Advantages of using UV-curing to coat substrates include the low energy needed for the process, the high rates and highly efficient polymerization achieved, the ability to select the specific area to be cured, and the elimination of solvent reduced volatile organic pollution. 20 Nanoscale particles typically used in the formation of nanocomposites are layered silicates such as natural montmorillonite or synthetic laponite. 21 Laponite ® consists of particles of about 25 nm in diameter and 0.92 nm in thickness.…”
