Hierarchically nano structured composite fibers were fabricated and characterized. The fibers composed of expanded polystyrene foam (EPF) embedded with varying graphite content were spray coated onto glass substrate. The FESEM and AFM images indicate well dispersed graphite and formation of thin nano fibers, which exhibited water contact angle of 151. Diameter of a single fiber was noted to be similar to 500 nm. The uniqueness of the present method is use of fluorine free raw materials, environment benign solvents and feasibility of applying over large surfaces. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The effect of pigment volume concentration on self-stratification and physico-mechanical properties of solvent-free silicone/epoxy coating systems

Sushil S. Pawar, R. Baloji Naik, Srikanth Billa, Sangram K. Rath, Tapan K. Mahato, Balasubramanian Kandasubramanian

Summary: Self-stratifying coatings allow for the segregation of different coating layers in a single application, eliminating the need for multiple coating steps. This study investigates the effect of pigmentation on the stratification of epoxy and silicone resins in a solvent-free coating system. The results show that the pigment volume concentration has a significant impact on the stratification of the resins. Analytical techniques such as contact angle measurement, infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and X-ray spectroscopy were used to study the degree of stratification at different length scales. Rheological studies were also conducted to understand the curing behavior and its effect on stratification. The findings suggest that a PVC of 20% achieves the optimal stratification, anticorrosive, and hydrophobic properties.
