Abstract
The effects of two diblock copolymers, poly(ethylene-alt-propylene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEP–PEO) and poly(1,2-butadiene)-b-poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (PB–P2VP) on the mechanical properties of epoxy coatings were studied. Both modifiers self-assembled into spherical micelles of 10–20 nm diameter in cured bulk epoxy. This morphology was preserved in 15 μm thick coatings; however, micelle segregation to the coating/substrate interface was also...
