On the quality of paint coatings

Drying kinetics and segregation in a two-component anti-adherent coating studied by photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies

“…In some cases a coating is used only for cosmetic purposes, although most of the times is applied to protect the surface, and the object itself, against adverse conditions or aggressive environments [1][2][3]. For this purpose, technological advances in the polymer and ceramic fields are applied to produce novel polymeric structures, hard ceramic nano-particles, novel coupling agents and hybrid composite materials, to mention a few [4][5][6].…”
