Environmentally Friendly Protective Coatings for Transport

Resumo

Using examples developed in Grebenshchikov Institute of Silicate Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, the methods of protection of various objects, first and foremost, transportation means and transport infrastructure, from adverse climatic conditions, corrosion, icing, radiation, marine fouling, and destruction under the influence of biodestructors are analyzed. The physicochemical fundamentals of the technology of preparation of organosilicate coatings for their high performance are considered. New methods and approaches used in the formulation of environmentally friendly protective coatings are characterized, in particular, the future of superhydrofobic coatings is discussed.
