Differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis of the composites showed a gradual decrease in glass transition temperatures (T-g) with increase in cardolite content confirming the incorporation of flexible moieties into the brittle resin matrix. Improvement in toughening of PPGEF/Cardolite composites was manifested by increase in the izod impact strength of both the composites. The tensile strength increased marginally for composites with increasing amount of Cardolite NC-514 but decreased for the composites containing Cardolite NC-547. This was attributed to the lack of rotational motion in the chain due to close proximity of rigid phenyl rings in NC-547. SEM of the cryo-fractured surfaces of composites showed good compatibility between PPGEF and cardanol based flexibilizers. (c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The flexibilizer content was varied from 5 to 10% by weight of the resin. These resins were coated onto the stainless steel panels and tested for their gloss, cross-hatch adhesion, falling weight impact resistance, flexibility, abrasion, scratch hardness, solvent scrub resistance, and chemical resistance. The thermo-mechanical properties of these coatings were determined by TGA, DSC, DMTA, and tensile strength measurements. The cryofractured specimens were subjected to SEM analysis. The influence of structural differences of two flexibilizers on the coating properties was investigated. These coatings exhibited excellent properties and have great potential in industrial applications. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
