Relating polymer architecture to water absorption properties in a waterborne coating: Characterizing the physical structure of waterborne coatings via rheology and Positron Annihilation Spectroscopy

In this thesis, the relationship between the polymer architecture and the water absorption properties of a commercially available waterborne anticorrosion coating are investigated with the purpose of improving the barrier properties. \\<br/>To explore this relationship, the polymer architecture had to first be characterized. This is because...

The Hybrid: Skatepark & Urban Facilitator in Bandung

Local skateboarders in Bandung still play skateboard on the streets since they consider to not have a designated/adequate space to practice their passion. Although the government addressed this issue by building the 1st skatepark only in 2014, it ended up being largely neglected/unused for its bad overall design and for being too small for...
