Chemisorption of polyester coatings on zirconium-based conversion coated multi-metal substrates and their stability in aqueous environment Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this work, in-situ ATR-FTIR in the Kretschmann configuration is proposed as an interfacial sensitive technique able to probe molecular processes at the buried interface of an industrial relevant polyester primer. Zinc, aluminium and magnesium oxide were used to represent oxides present at galvanized steel sheets used in coil coating. Two competing interactions with polyester resin and melamine-based crosslinker were shown to take place at ...
