The results indicate that the silane-modified mica exhibited enhanced compatibility with EA coatings. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance of epoxy acrylate/silane-modified mica coatings were improved compared to epoxy acrylate/unmodified mica composite coatings.

OPTCM is used as a reflective coating that reflects the sunlight, reducing the electricity load on cooling system. The OPTCM easily gets degraded under sunlight and thereby limits its usage in building coating applications. To reduce the photodegradation of OPTCM, it is generally encapsulated with an inorganic metal oxide such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, etc. Different methods are discussed and illustrated further to achieve the necessary microencapsulation. It is necessary to study the properties of different inorganic metal oxides as the encapsulating material.

Although degree of phase separation (DPS) is a sensitive and important parameter and reflects the formation of the internal hydrophobic network structure, research on the relationship between DPS and the corrosion resistance performance of PU coatings is very limited. This study prepared a series of PU coatings with different soft and hard segment ratios, quantitatively calculated DPS, and analyzed the residual situation of the -NCO groups of each coating using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The crosslinking density (XLD) of the coatings was obtained using the swelling equilibrium method. The corrosion resistance performance of the coatings was periodically tested through salt water immersion experiments, Tafel tests, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). It was found that coatings with a high hard segment content have higher DPS and XLD. The samples with the highest hard segment content (sample PU3-5-10 and PU3-5-11) possessed the highest DPS values (24.28 and 41.95%) and showed the lowest corrosion current density (9.3 × 10<sup>−11</sup> and 3.25 × 10<sup>−11</sup> A/cm<sup>2</sup>) and the highest impedance values (6.22 × 10<sup>8</sup> and 1.24 × 10<sup>9</sup> Ω cm<sup>2</sup>) before salt water immersion; however, PU3-5-11 showed a much more rapid decline in impedance after 40 days of immersion. FTIR analysis indicated that the presence of easily hydrolyzable residual -NCO groups should be the main reason for the worsening.
