Abstract:Although
the environmentally friendly waterborne epoxy
(WEP) coatings
exhibit high adhesion to substrates, the abundant hydrophilic groups
in those coatings always bring about poor anticorrosion performance.
Herein, a nonionic WEP emulsifier with the lipophilic–hydrophilic–lipophilic
(L-H-L) structure has been successfully prepared to enhance the anticorrosion
performance of the WEP coating. After the hydrophilic chains formed
between polyethylene glycol (PEG) and hexahydrophthalic anhydride
(HHPA) are termina… Show more
