Water Absorption in Waterborne Ambient-cure Epoxy Coatings: A study using dielectric spectroscopy and other analytical techniques

Due to increased concern for the environment, resin producers are encouraged to replace their solventborne resins by waterborne equivalents. The challenge of current research in waterborne epoxy resins is to optimise their so-called ‘barrier properties’, which are not as good as those of the conventional solventborne systems. The aim of the...
