High-Throughput Adhesion Evaluation and Scale-up of Combinatorial Leads of Organic Protective Coatings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Coupling of combinatorial chemistry methods with high-throughput (HT) performance testing and measurements of resulting properties has provided a powerful set of tools for the 10-fold accelerated discovery of new high-performance coating materials for automotive applications. This approach replaces labor-intensive steps with automated systems for evaluation of adhesion of 8 × 6 arrays of coating elements that are discretely deposited on a single 9 × 12 cm plastic substrate. Performance of coatings is evaluated with respect to their resistance to adhesion loss. This parameter is one primary consideration in end-use automotive applications. Coating leads identified from the HT screening have been validated on the traditional scale. Details of these validation studies are discussed.
