Polyurethane–polyacrylic hybrid dispersions by Rohah A. Majid

“…It was found that the plasticizing effect of NMP caused reduction in the glass transition temperature, Tg, which also affected the performance of the sample, particularly the tensile strength and extensibility. Annealing the solvent based PUDs under certain conditions improved the properties due to the evaporation of the NMP that was trapped in the films. …”

Preparation of environmentally-friendly inorganic pigments by Duncan L.J. O'Brien

“…Rietveld refinement of the materials suggests that the series shows disordering of the cations over both tetrahedral and octahedral sites and that the materials become cobalt deficient as the aluminium level increases. Doping, annealing and mineralisation of the SnO-Nb2O5 series using cation (V, Ca, Ta) and anion (Cl, S) doping has produced two different phases with very different properties. …”
