During a ceremony held by DSM NeoResins and Sinostar at the 7th
CHINACOAT Conference to award the best paper presented in waterborne
technology throughout the conference, Dr. Jianqing Hu of the South
China University of Technology, accepted the award for the paper,
"Self-Stratifying Complex Cathodic Electrodeposition." The paper,
which was authored by Dr. Hu, Dr. Feng Wang and Dr. Wei-Ping Tu,
explores self-stratifying complex cathodic electrodeposition coatings
consisting of self-crosslink acrylic and epoxy resins. The effects of
feeding mode, temperature of blocked and grafted reaction, blocking
agent, and blocking degree on the reaction process and properties of
the deposited films were studied, and effects of parameters of
electrophoretic technology on the properties of paint films were also
investigated.
