Environmentally friendly adhesion promoter compositions for multilayer coating applications

In the first year of the proposed project, we will explore and optimize the application of environmentally friendly solvents for organosilane adhesion promoters that are used in the production of HSS by Canusa-CPS. In the second year, the shelf-life and lifetime of such products will be investigated using accelerated testing procedures. The results of the proposed research project will be beneficial to Canusa-CPS for the development of environmentally friendly adhesion promoters and lay the groundwork for new testing methods that predict the lifetime of HSS products. The proposed research will also create unique opportunities for the training of highly qualified personnel by exposing them to real-world technical and industrial challenges.
