Changes in the Sorption and Adhesion Characteristics of Siloxane Block Copolymers on Exposure to Radiation

The influence of the adsorbed dose and the type of siloxane block copolymer on the changes in the diffusion and adhesion parameters of the block copolymer coatings has been investigated together with the dose dependence of their protective properties in corrosive media. It is shown that the action of radiation on block copolymer coatings lowers appreciably their sorption capacity and increases their adhesion strength, which results in an increase in their longevity
