7. Silicones in Coatings
نویسنده
چکیده
In contrast to the low-level use of silicone polymers as additives, silicone resins can be major components of the coating. Here they are used as binders or co-binders, imparting important benefits such as durability throughout the life of the coating. Silicone resins offer resistance to weathering in paints for exterior surfaces such as bridges and metal cladding on buildings. They also provide water repellence to masonry surfaces such as stone and brick.

متن کاملStructure-property relationships of silicone biofouling-release coatings: effect of silicone network architecture on pseudobarnacle attachment strengths.
Model silicone foul-release coatings with controlled molecular architecture were evaluated to determine the effect of compositional variables such as filler loading and crosslink density on pseudobarnacle attachment strength. Pseudobarnacle adhesion values correlated with filler loadings in both condensation and hydrosilylation-cured silicones. Variation of crosslink density of hydrosilylation-...
متن کاملCompounds from Silicones Alter Enzyme Activity in Curing Barnacle Glue and Model Enzymes
BACKGROUND Attachment strength of fouling organisms on silicone coatings is low. We hypothesized that low attachment strength on silicones is, in part, due to the interaction of surface available components with natural glues. Components could alter curing of glues through bulk changes or specifically through altered enzyme activity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS GC-MS analysis of silicone c...
متن کاملThe effects of model polysiloxane and fouling-release coatings on embryonic development of a sea urchin (Arbacia punctulata) and a fish (Oryzias latipes).
In recent decades attention has focused on the development of non-toxic fouling-release coatings based on silicone polymers as an alternative to toxic antifouling coatings. As fouling-release coatings gain market share, they will contribute to environmental contamination by silicones. We report effects of eight model polysiloxane and three commercial foul-release coatings on embryonic developme...
متن کاملBiocides for Antifouling Marine Coatings – Issues in Reactivity, Performance, and Ecotoxicity
For centuries, owners of private, commercial and military sea vessels have attempted, with varying degrees of success, to surface treat their underwater hulls with coatings to prevent the adhesion and/or growth of large fouling organisms that cause severe drag, reducing vessel speed and maneuverability, and increasing fuel consumption. Two major approaches are currently under development: (1) “...
