Effects of UV degradation on surface hydrophobicity, crack, and thickness of MWCNT-based nanocomposite coatings

Asmatulu, Ramazan; Mahmud, Gazi Arif; Hille, C. A.; Misak, Heath Edward (Elsevier, 2011-11)

Surface degradation is a common problem in polymeric coatings when they are exposed to sunlight, moisture, and oxygen. In order to reduce their surface degradation, thus keeping the coatings' original properties, multi-wall ...
Increasing the coating resistance against UV degradation and corrosion using nanocomposite coating

Mahmud, Gazi Arif (Wichita State University, 2009-12)

In this research project, a nanocomposite coating was developed using multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) associated with epoxy primer in order to increase coating resistance against ultra-violet radiation and corrosion. ...
Prevention of surface crack formations on polymeric coatings using carbon nanotubes

Asmatulu, Ramazan; Mahmud, Gazi Arif (AMER SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2012)

Polymeric coatings are frequently utilized for the protection of materials surface against UV light and other environmental factors (e.g., oxygen, pollutants and moistures) by many industries. However, the organic films ...
