Design and Preparation of PU/EP Blend Resin Grafted by Hydrophilic Molecular Segments

Film-forming resins, as carriers of antifouling coatings, play an essential role in the functional performance of coatings. With the gradual promotion of coatings in the field of marine antifouling, the preparation of film-forming resins containing hydrophilic chain segments is urgently needed to gi...
