Crosslinked polybenzoxazine coatings with hierarchical surface structuresfrom a biomimicking process exhibiting high robustness and anticorrosion

In this work, crosslinkable polybenzoxazine (PBz), which exhibits highsurface-covering ability, strong adhesion to metal substrates, and adense crosslinked structure resistant to corrosion molecule permeation,
has been demonstrated as an effective agent for single-component
anticorrosion application. Plain crosslinked PBz-based anticorrosion
coating shows a protection efficiency of 96.3%. Hierarchical surface
structures and hydrophobicity have been introduced to the anticorrosion
coatings through a biomimicking process using lotus leaves as templates,and so as to increase the protection efficiency to an extremely highlevel of 99.93%. Crosslinked PBz coatings with a hierarchical surface
structure and surface hydrophobicity are highly effective forJune 2022

anticorrosion application. Moreover, biomimicking anticorrosion coatings
have also been prepared with xanthosoma sagittifolium leaves to probe thetemplate effect on the anticorrosion efficiency of the biomimicking
coatings. Lotus leaves, rather than xanthosoma sagittifolium leaves, arethe better choice for fabrication of the biomimicked anticorrosion
coatings.

The impact of the REACH (registration, evaluation, authorisation andrestriction of chemical substances) on the coatings used by the furnitureindustry is explained from the perspective of a French institute. An
explanation of REACH regulations is presented. Substances with highconcern are those which are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic. Persistent,
bioaccumulative and toxic substances are also of concern. The steps thatthe furniture industry should take in order for the coatings to beaccepted under REACH regulations, are outlined.

A process for forming a solid polymeric structure from flash-evaporated,vacuum-deposited, cationically-curable monomeric material is disclosed.
The process comprises preparing a mixture of a cationically-curable
monomer with a thermally-stable cationic photoinitiator chemicallyinactive at room temperature, flash-evaporating the mixture in vacuum toproduce a vapour, condensing the vapour to produce a film, and exposing
the film to a radiation source to produce a polymeric solid film.
