Water uptake in organic coatings using AFM-IR

Mapping Water Uptake in Organic Coatings using AFM-IR

Professor Stuart Lyon of the University of Manchester, a Blue Scientific customer, has  published a paper about mapping water uptake in organic coatings using AFM-IR. Water Uptake in Organic Coatings Paints are commonly used to isolate metals from corrosive environments. The breakdown of protection offered by organic coatings over long periods of time is an important process in corrosion science. […]
