Environmentally Friendly Anticorrosive Polymeric Coatings
This paper provides a synthetic and comprehensive overview on environmentally friendly anticorrosive polymeric coatings. Firstly, the economic and environmental impact of corrosion is presented to highlight the need of anticorrosive polymeric coatings as a flexible and effective solution to protect a metal. Secondly, the implementation of regulations together with the consumer awareness for environmental considerations and protection of health are the driving force for a progressive but significant change in the sector. Therefore, within the protective organic coatings market, this article provides a review of the most recent developments in environmentally friendly solutions, including bio-based and water-borne epoxy, hyperbranched polyester for low- volatile organic compounds (VOC) coatings, waterborne polyurethane and non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs), and graphene or bio-based fillers for acrylics. Moreover, this paper outlines new trends such as smart additives, bio-based corrosion inhibitors, and functional antibiocorrosive coatings as superhydrophobics. Finally, industrially relevant applications of environmentally friendly anticorrosive polymeric coatings including solutions for marine and off-shore industries are summarized.

A Selective Review of Ceramic, Glass and Glass–Ceramic Protective Coatings: General Properties and Specific Characteristics for Solar Cell Applications
A review on ceramics, glasses and glass–ceramics as thin film protective coatings for solar cells is given. The different preparation techniques and the physical and chemical properties are presented in a comparative way. This study is useful for technologies involving solar cells and solar panel cell development at the industrial scale, because protective coatings and encapsulation play a major role in increasing the lifetime of solar panels and environmental protection. The aim of this review article is to give a summary of existing ceramic, glass, and glass–ceramic protective coatings and how they apply to solar cell technology: silicon, organic or perovskite cells. Moreover, some of these ceramic, glass or glass–ceramic layers were found to have dual functionality, such as providing anti-reflectivity or scratch resistance to give a two-fold improvement to the lifetime and efficiency of the solar cell.

Thermomechanics and Thermophysics of Optical Fiber Polymer Coating
The viscoelastic properties of ultraviolet radiation-curable polymer coatings of optical fibers were studied experimentally and numerically. The test setup was completed, and a series of natural experiments were conducted for an extended temperature range from −110 °C to +120 °C using a dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). Discrete dependencies of the complex modulus on temperature and frequency of kinematic loading were obtained. The problem of multiparametric optimization was solved. Defining relations were obtained for protective coating polymers, making it possible to describe the thermomechanical behavior of the glass-forming materials under consideration in a wide temperature range, including relaxation transition. The optimal solution was found for 18 series terms at the selected reference temperature Tr = −70 °C, C1 = 20.036, and C2 = 32.666 for the DeSolite 3471-1-152A material. The optimal solution was found for 60 series terms at the selected reference temperature Tr = 0 °C, C1 = 40,242.2827, and C2 = 267,448.888 for the DeSolite DS-2015 material. The models were verified according to the data of creep experiments. The capabilities of the viscoelastic model were demonstrated by the example of a numerical experiment on free thermal heating/cooling of a Panda-type optical fiber.

Analytical Investigations of XIX–XX Century Paints: The Study of Two Vehicles from the Museum for Communications of Frankfurt
Over the centuries, humans have developed different systems to protect surfaces from the influence of environmental factors. Protective paints are the most used ones. They have undergone considerable development over the years, especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Indeed, between the two centuries, new binders and pigments have been introduced in the constituent materials of paints. The years in which these compounds have been introduced and spread in the paint market allow them to be defined as markers for the dating of paints and painted artifacts. The present work is focused on the study of the paints of two vehicles of the Frankfurt Museum of Communication, i.e., a carriage and a cart, that was designed for the German Postal and Telecommunications Service roughly between 1880 and 1920. The characterization of the paints was performed through in situ non-invasive techniques, i.e., portable optical microscopy and multispectral imaging, and laboratory non-destructive techniques, i.e., FT-IR ATR spectroscopy and SEM-EDS. The analytical investigation and the comparison with the data reported in the literature allowed us to determine the historicity of the paints, which are all dated before the 1950s.

(LEYZ) was prepared. The evolution of the sintering resistance, thermal shock resistance, and thermal insulation properties of the multi-element rare-earth co-doped modified coatings under long-term and high-temperature conditions was studied. The results showed that the sintering resistance of the doped coating was significantly improved, and the coating still does not fall off after 200 h at 1100 °C. The thermal shock life of the coating at 1000 °C is increased by 47% compared with that of the undoped modified LZ coating. The length of the vertical cracks in LEYZ ceramic layer is obviously shorter than that in LZ coating, which will be more beneficial to preventing the coating from peeling off. Compared with LZ coating, the insulation temperature of the LEYZ ceramic coating is increased by 24, 26 and 34% in the range of 900 ~ 1100 °C, respectively. The coating has the best thermal insulation effect, which is consistent with theoretical calculation results. The results demonstrate that the modified lanthanum zirconate coatings doped with Europium and Yttrium has great potential in high-temperature performance.

Influence of the Applied Protective Coating on the Technological Parameters of the Moulding or Core Sand Surface
An important issue in obtaining a good casting surface without defects in contact with the liquid metal is the use of protective coatings on the surface of the moulding sand forming the mould cavity. Protective coatings are based on highly refractory materials that are finely ground and protect the moulding sand from thermal stresses from the molten metal. An important aspect of obtaining the appropriate properties of the protective coatings used is the method of application. This article presents the results of a quality study of the protective coatings obtained, which were applied by dip and painting with a brush. Four different coatings were applied to mould sand samples prepared on grain matrices with different average grain sizes. During the tests, the viscosity of the protective coatings, their gas-forming capacity, sieve analyses of the grain matrix used, the permeability of the moulding sand with the protective coating and the abrasiveness and adhesion of the protective coatings were determined. The quality of the coating obtained was found to depend on its type, the size of the grain matrix used in the moulding sand and the method of application. The experiments carried out indicate that a comparative study of the available protective coatings can indicate the best solution, taking into account the grain matrix used and the method of application adopted.

Soluble Fluorinated Cardo Copolyimide as an Effective Additive to Photopolymerizable Compositions Based on Di(meth)acrylates: Application for Highly Thermostable Primary Protective Coating of Silica Optical Fiber
The development of photocurable compositions is in high demand for the manufacture of functional materials for electronics, optics, medicine, energy, etc. The properties of the final photo-cured material are primarily determined by the initial mixture, which needs to be tuned for each application. In this study we propose to use simple systems based on di(meth)acrylate, polyimide and photoinitiator for the preparation of new photo-curable compositions. It was established that a fluorinated cardo copolyimide (FCPI) based on 2,2-bis-(3,4-dicarboxydiphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride, 9,9-bis-(4-aminophenyl)fluorene and 2,2-bis-(4-aminophenyl)hexafluoropropane (1.00:0.75:0.25 mol) has excellent solubility in di(met)acrylates. This made it possible to prepare solutions of FCPI in such monomers, to study the effect of FCPI on the kinetics of their photopolymerization in situ and the properties of the resulting polymers. According to the obtained data, the solutions of FCPI (23 wt.%) in 1,4-butanediol diacrylate (BDDA) and FCPI (15 wt.%) in tetraethylene glycol diacrylate were tested for the formation of the primary protective coatings of the silica optical fibers. It was found that the new coating of poly(BDDA–FCPI23%) can withstand prolonged annealing at 200 °C (72 h), which is comparable or superior to the known most thermally stable photo-curable coatings. The proposed approach can be applied to obtain other functional materials.

Cold-Sprayed Composite Metal-Fluoropolymer Coatings for Alloy Protection against Corrosion and Wear
Results of studying the properties of composite fluoropolymer-containing coatings formed by the cold spray (CS) method on the surface of constructional steel are presented. Different ways of protective coating formation are proposed. The composition of coatings was studied using SEM/EDX analysis. The incorporation of super-dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene (SPTFE) into the coating increases the corrosion resistance of the copper-zinc-based cold-sprayed coating. Analysis of the electrochemical properties obtained using EIS (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy) and PDP (potentiodynamic polarization) indicates that samples treated with SPTFE on a base copper-zinc coating showed lower corrosion current density and higher impedance modulus (jc = 8.5 × 10−7 A cm−2, |Z|f=0.1 Hz = 5.3 × 104 Ω∙cm2) than the specimen with cold-sprayed SPTFE (jc = 6.1 × 10−6 A cm−2, |Z|f=0.1 Hz = 8.1 × 103 Ω∙cm2). The best anticorrosion properties were revealed for the sample with a cold-sprayed base Cu-Zn layer annealed at 500 °C for 1 h, followed by SPTFE friction treatment and re-annealed at 350 °C for 1 h. The corrosion current density jc of such a coating is 25 times lower than that for the base Cu-Zn coating. The antifriction properties and hydrophobicity of the formed layers are described. Obtained results indicate that cold-sprayed polymer-containing coatings effectively improve the corrosion and wear resistivity of the treated material.
