“…Firstly, AAEM has long been recognized for its ability to provide a versatile crosslinking site in thermoset coatings 11. An important feature of this crosslinking monomer compared to epoxy, aziridine or isocyanate curing systems is its relatively low toxicity, which makes it especially attractive for high performance, environmentally friendly, non‐hazardous coatings which are described mostly in patent literature 12–17. The active methylene and ketone carbonyl of AAEM can participate in numerous crosslinking reactions such as enamine formation, Michael reaction, aldehyde reaction as well as conventional methods involving melamines and isocyanates.…”
