Multifunctional copolymers for controlled release and compatibilization in protective coatings

Key Points

• Enhanced controlled release improves the performance of protective coatings, contributing to their longevity.
• Key metrics show that specific copolymer designs optimize compatibility within coating applications.
• Assessment using polymer property evaluations highlights the role of copolymers in protective coatings.
• This work may enable wider application of multifunctional copolymers, but field validation is needed.
