Change of properties and structure of films derived from powder paints in the process of artificial climatic aging

Abstract

The combined effect of artificial climatic factors (ultraviolet irradiation, moisture, temperature) on mechanical properties and surface structure of polymer films derived from powder paints is studied in this article. Methods and equipment for researches are also described. The effect of chemical structure of the film-forming material and hardening agent on the spatial grid structure that defines mechanical properties of the film and their change under climatic factors is reviewed.
