Abstract Renewable resource-based hybrid crosslinker was successfully synthesized via sol-gel technology. The
synthesis involved malenization of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) followed by its silane modifi cation and
subsequent hydrolysis and condensation with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The synthesized crosslinker was
characterized by spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR, 1
H-NMR, 13C-NMR and 29Si-NMR) for structural elucidation.
The crosslinker was further formulated in a conventional stoving system. Fully-cured coatings were obtained
after stoving at 120°C for ½ hr and were then evaluated for physical, mechanical, chemical, optical, accelerated
weathering, electrochemical and morphological properties. The incorporation of hybrid crosslinker in a
conventional stoving More >
