Insight on the Chemistry of Epoxy and Its Curing for Coating Applications: A Detailed Investigation and Future Perspectives

Abstract
This article is aimed to focus on the developments in the polymeric materials used for coating with special importance to epoxy. A detailed discussion commencing from epoxy derived from both petroleum and plant resources, classification and its application have been elaborated along with various types of curing agents and some potential greener UV-curing techniques used in coating technology. Also detailed discussion on the future perspectives of the polymers in coating has been presented, which may be useful in framing-up the future of polymers from renewable resources via greener route.
