Reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds Through Development of Novel Next Generation Cure-On-Demand Ultra High Solid Non-Skid Coating
Abstract
Abstract Our proposed work is to develop a thermally initiated, cure-on-demand non-skid prototype for proof-of-concept laboratory evaluation. This would represent a novel effort to develop a next generation non-skid coating for stakeholders in the Navy and Marine Corps where recent work has not studied the development of a novel non-skid material. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWC-CD) is proposing a collaboration between Louisiana State University (LSU) Professor, Dr. John Pojman, who is a leading expert on cure-on-demand polymeric materials. Dr. Pojman will act as the formulation lead in the development and tailoring of the cure-on-demand chemistry using free-radical induced cationic curing of epoxies and vinyl ethers. The primary performance criteria will be demonstration the coating material will cure on demand on a properly prepared and primed metal substrate. Successful conclusion of the 1-year project will lead to the development of a novel non-skid material formulation for testing at NSWC-CD.
