APAI-ENHANCED PIGMENT WEATHERING SCHOLARSHIP 2009 – APPLIED CENTRE FOR STRUCTURAL & SYNCHROTRON STUDIES (ACESSS)
APAI-Enhanced Pigment Weathering Scholarship 2009 – Applied Centre for Structural & Synchrotron Studies (ACeSSS)
Scholarship Introduction:
The whitest, brightest, most cost-effective pigment type used in paints is titanium dioxide. However, painted surfaces containing unmodified titanium dioxide undergo weathering while exposed to outside elements such as oxygen, water and UV-light. This results in a reduction of gloss [...]
