The overall goal of this program is to contribute to the development of the next-generation anti-corrosion and other protective coating systems for USAF aircraft. During the past year, NDSU's promising Mg-based primer was further optimized. Five different Mg alloy pigments were evaluated, and the optimal pigment volume ratio was established. Flexible binders were identified that substantially improved mechanical properties of the Mg-based primer without sacrificing corrosion properties. Research continued to ...
The overall goal of this program is to contribute to the development of the next-generation anti-corrosion and other protective coating systems for USAF aircraft. The initial emphasis was on improvements in NDSU's promising Mg-based primer, which NDSU recently licensed to the major international aircraft coatings manufacturer. Work continued over the last year on improvements in primer binder, additions to NDSU's world-class high-throughput (HT) research and development capabilities that are necessary ...
