Physical cleaning, an important factor in maintaining ships' hulls free from biofouling, can help to prolong the lifetime of fouling-control coating systems. This study investigated how mechanical cleaning parameters (cleaning force, duration and frequency) affected antifouling coatings' performance including fouling resistance property efficiency using a specially designed manual system. Meanw...

This study selects titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as far-infrared materials (FIRMs), further adds water-based acrylic coatings to prepare (FIRCs). FIRCs are uniformly coated on #304 stainless steel sheets make the test samples, which then installed between shell insulation material of hot water heater measure influences various performance heater. The researc...

Material assembly based on elastomer part and metallic substrate has been widely used in many industrial sectors. However, the adhesion between two materials requests specific processes adhesives. Plasma technology is an interesting way to prepare since plasma polymer layers for adhesive joint can bear different reactive chemical functions toward elastomer. Three coatings are synthesized from a...

Among the various advanced materials, flame-retardant cellulosic textiles are important as they directly relate to human health and hazards. The use of environmentally friendly coatings is currently one major concerns in textile coating industry. In this work, acrylic acid was grafted onto surface cotton using plasma technology enhance attachment acrylate phosphate monomer. Surface analyses, su...

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) show promise for enhancing properties of waterborne latexes and coatings. Miniemulsion polymerization is a promising route to obtaining well-controlled latex distributions sufficient encapsulate CNCs in the monomer phase. Here, we demonstrate first miniemulsion resulting encapsulation that incorporates costabilizer, water soluble initiator, comonomer mixtures, aspe...
