Changes in the energy characteristics of the surface of organosilicate coatings in the course of formation

The influence of the parameters of curing of organosilicate coatings and the degree of completeness of interfacial chemical reactions on the total surface energy, its dispersion and polar components, and the physicochemical and protective properties of coatings is analyzed. The possibility of using organosilicate coatings as easily cleanable materials is determined by the small values of the surface energy and its polar component.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
