"Bottom-up design of naturally sourced materials for coating applications"

 
Through a Design of Experiments approach, the research evaluates various fillers, such as talc, wollastonite, leucophyllite, and nepheline syenite, across different binder types, including VAE and Styrene Acrylic, and pigment volume concentrations of 40 percent and 70 percent. The findings indicate that fillers play a crucial role in influencing key paint properties, including opacity, gloss, and mechanical resistance.
