Abstract: A method is provided for predicting the durability of a composite structure, such as a composite polymeric coating. The method includes obtaining a sample of a first (reference) composite structure and analyzing at least one layer of the structure for indications of degradation. The sample can be obtained by low angle microtomy. Degradation values and a degradation slope of the first composite structure can be defined. One or more degradation values for a second composite structure can be obtained and the durability of the second composite structure can be predicted by comparing the degradation slope of the second composite structure to the degradation slope of the first composite structure.

Abstract: Curable powder clear coating composition and coated substrate with multilayered coatings have as the predominant film-forming polymer in the coating at least one epoxy acrylic copolymer in an amount from 60 to 99.99 percent by weight and 10 to 40 percent by weight of a polycarboxylic acid crosslinking agent. The percentages by weight are based on solids of the curable coating composition. A single predominant film-forming epoxy acrylic copolymer has a number average molecular weight in the range of about 1000 to 5500; a calculated Tg in the range of 50 to 85° C.; epoxy content in the range of 35 to 85, and a styrene content resulting from an amount of styrene monomer in the range of up to about 25 weight percent based on the weight percent of the monomers to form the copolymer.

Abstract: Cured thermoset multilayered composite coatings with a powder clear coat and a waterborne base coat have improved chip resistance for the coating. The waterborne base coat composition has one or more crosslinkable film-forming polymers, one or more crosslinking agents for crosslinking the film-forming polymer, and one or more pigments. This basecoat is applied to a bare or previously painted substrate to give a film thickness in the range of about 0.1 to 3 mils (2.54 to 76.2 microns). The basecoat is dehydrated from treatment at a temperature from ambient to an elevated temperature of up to about 90.degree. C. for up to about 15 minutes before it is contacted with powder clear coating composition. The powder clear coating composition has a predominant amount of one or more crosslinkable, meltable and mobile film-forming polymer and/or copolymer having a weight average molecular weight of one or polymers/copolymers in the range of about 2000 to about 6000.
