Scratch and mar resistance of paint <strong>coatings</strong> and<br />

polymer films using the nanoscratch technique:<br />

Viscoelastic behavior and relaxation effects<br />

Industrial Problem:<br />

Automotive topcoats, or varnishes, are exposed to extremely harsh<br />

environmental conditions, yet they are expected to maintain a high<br />

gloss finish for at least 5 years<br />

Solution:<br />
