Synthesis and Characterization of Urea-formaldehyde Microcapsules Containing Functionalized Polydimethylsiloxanes
Abstract(#br)Self-healing anticorrosive coatings require healing agents with hydrophobic properties and low glass transition temperature. Polydimethylsiloxanes are group of compounds with high degree of hydrophobicity and very low glass transition temperatures. The nature of functional group of core material highly affect the properties of resultant microcapsules.
