Reactive acrylate-functional POSS-modified waterborne acrylic coatings with enhanced hardness, adhesion, abrasion and long-term corrosion resistance

Key Points

• Improved hardness and adhesion were observed with the modified coatings, indicating significant enhancements in performance.
• Acrylate-functional POSS-modified coatings resulted in better abrasion resistance than traditional options.
• The coatings demonstrated remarkable long-term corrosion resistance, which is a vital property for protective applications.
• Further research may be needed to assess practical applications and scalability of these enhanced coatings.
