Description
Andrii Kulikov and co-authors linked the physical and quantum traits of epoxy diluents in 2025 to the wear resistance of epoxy mixes. Diluents thin a thick epoxy so filler spreads and wets well, which matters for hard, wear-resistant coatings. The team set out clear relations that can guide which diluent to pick.
Physical values were derived by an atomic-increment method, and electronic traits by a semi-empirical quantum method. Cohesion energy and the solubility parameter tracked closely with molecular volume. Surface tension tracked with spreading on hard fillers such as silicon and boron carbides and corundum. Activity also tied to the energy of the lowest empty molecular orbital. Readers get design rules that connect a diluent's numbers on paper to how the final coating handles and wears.
