S. Ahamad et al., Studies on a newly developed linseed oil-based alumina-filled polyesteramide anticorrosive coating, J APPL POLY, 72(13), 1999, pp. 1679-1687
Polyesteramide (PEA) and alumina-filled polyesteramide (APEA) resins were s
ynthesized from N,N'-bis(2 hydroxyethyl) linseed amide. The FTIR, H-1-NMR,
DSC, TGA, thermal curing, and physico-chemical characterization of these po
lymers were carried out. The coatings of PEA and APEA were made on mild ste
el strips. The mechanical behavior and protective efficiency of these coati
ngs in acid, alkali, and organic solvents were investigated. APEA coatings
have been found to show superior performance in comparison to other coating
