Enhancing wettability and water resistance of coatings using tung oleic acid-based gemini wetting agent via Fischer esterification

Researchers found that the newly developed gemini-based wetting agent improves surface tension and water resistance. As societal awareness of environmental concerns grows, there is a gradual transition towards more environmentally friendly aqueous products, replacing traditional solvent-based ones. However, owing to its short hydrophobic chain segment, polyether defoamer has limitations, including a narrow field of use, […]
