(author), Terryn, H.A. (author)In this work, a new finite element modelling (FEM) approach is followed to model spatiotemporally resolved water uptake in organic coatings. To this aim, we start from a physical model, where not only Fickian diffusion of water is taken into account but also the adsorption/desorption reaction of water on the polymer matrix. Starting from a...journal article 2023

(author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)The bonding properties of zirconium- and titanium-based conversion coatings were evaluated using model conversion solutions of H<sub>2</sub>ZrF<sub>6</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>TiF<sub>6</sub> with addition of various organic additives (PAA, PVA, PVP). Macroscopic testing techniques such as contact angle and pull-off adhesion measurements were...journal article 2020
