For non-tar anticorrosive polyurethane coatings, polyurethane containing phenolic additives (i.e., phenol, styrene adducts with phenol ([St] n—Ph), and indene adducts with phenol ([In]n—Ph)) are prepared and the effusion properties are investigated. As an index on the effusion, the weight change of the polyurethane sheets soaked in water as a function of the soaking time and total organic carbon (TOC) in the water used for the soaking tests are measured. Only the weight of the polyurethane sheet containing [In]n—Ph did not decrease during the soaking test and the TOC was the least. Furthermore, the properties of the phenolic additives plasticizers or `antiplasticizer' are investigated. Although the density and the coefficient of thermal expansion of polyurethane containing [In]n—Ph are increased, since the tensile strength decreased and the elongation increased, [In]n—Ph will be regarded as a plasticizer rather than `antiplasticizer'.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
