Titanium Dioxide Photo-Catalyzed Degradation Of Polyurethanes

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Wales Swansea as follows: This project aims to harness new techniques developed to assess the mechanisms and kinetics of paint failure in short term exposure to the results from traditional weathering experiments. This will enable a rapid test system to be developed for polyurethane coatings which currently are showing premature failures.
