Silane-based anti-corrosion coatings
FY 2010-11
Summary
The project will address why variations in heat and humidity result in different performance of some
silane-based materials used for treating metal surfaces prior to painting. Perturbations in surface properties
after coating may have dramatic effects on the performance of subsequent painting. Thus an understanding of
the nature of these silane coatings and development of a methodology for achieving consistent and desired
surface properties is necessary. As mechanical damage to coatings on metal surfaces is common, one goal of
the project is to explore the possibility of imparting self-healing properties into these silane coating systems. To
this end, several new cross-linkers will be investigated for promotion and enhancement of the field
performance of the coatings.
