Investigations show that the degree of absorption is highly dependent on the specific cargo and its chemical functionality. It was also seen that absorption or desorption testing alone cannot help differentiate between the quality of different coatings. Chemical tankers are built to carry a wide range of chemicals worldwide, including petroleum pro...

... forces are often called London dispersion forces or van der Waal's forces. [8] An example of how the structure of an amine cured novolac epoxy polymer network might look like is shown in Figure 1. The amount of free volume depends on the molecular packing and is affected by both the crosslink density (and therefore the extent of curing) and physical aging [9] . ...
