NEXT GENERATION OF Aircraft Coatings Systems.

By Bierwagen, Gordon
Publication: The Journal of Coatings Technology
Date: Sunday, April 1 2001

North Dakota State University [*]

The current generation of aircraft coatings had its basis in the polymer technologies of the 1970s and the use of chromate-based metal pretreatments and primers. There have been some incremental improvements in the epoxy and polyamide oligomers used in the primers as well as the isocyanates and flexible polyols used in topcoats, plus increases in the volume solids of the coatings to continue minimally meeting environmental requirements, but no truly new technologies have been developed and applied to aircraft coatings since that time.

'Self-reinforcing' thermoplastic is harder, stronger, stiffer without added fibers. (Materials: Close-Up).

By the end of 2003, sample quantities will become available of a specialty high-performance thermoplastic whose inventors call it the first readily processable rigid-rod polymer. Named Parmax SRP ("self-reinforcing polymer"), it lays claim to a striking list of superlatives: Compared with any other thermoplastic, it is said to be the ......

Nanocomposites: Broaden Roles in Automotive, Barrier Packaging.

Nanocomposites are gradually gaining acceptance in the mainstream of global plastics processing. These polymer compounds, containing relatively low loadings (under 6% by weight) of nanometer-sized mineral particles, are beginning to show up in polypropylene and TPO-based automotive exterior claddings (see sidebar), barrier beer bottles, nylon packaging films, polyethylene pipe and ......

Wood-plastic composites vie for market share: although their primary applications continue to be decking and structural materials, the use of wood-plastic composites for interior applications is a growing...

For interior applications, there's been the "traditional" materials -- solid wood and more recently wood-based composites, such as particleboard and MDF. Now it's time for the "untraditional." Making headway into the flooring, moulding, cabinet and furniture arenas are wood-plastic composites. These composites consist of a mixture of wood flour and ......
