Research abstract
THE PROPOSAL DESCRIBES THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE USING EXPANDING MONOMERS IN COATING COMPOSITIONS FOR AIRCRAFT TRANSPARENCIES SUCH AS THOSE USED IN POLYCARBONATE WINDOWS. IT SHOWS HOW THE BONDING BETWEEN THE COATING FILM AND THE SUBSTRATE CAN BE MADE EXTREMELY INTIMATE SO THAT CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE AND HUMIDITY DO NOT RESULT IN DELAMINATION OR DESTRUCTION OF COATING PROPERTIES. A PROGRAM IS OUTLINES WHICH WILL RELATE THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF THE CURED POLYMERIC FILM WITH THAT OF THE SUBSTRATE. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK IN AN EFFECTIVE MANNER, THE PROPOSAL CITES THE UNIQUE EXPERIENCE OF THIS COMPANY, EPOLIN, INC. AND ITS FOUNDER, DR. MURRAY S. COHEN AS PIONEERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXPANDING POLYMER TECHNOLOGY.
