Enhancing Epoxy Coating Adhesion to Metal Substrates Using 2-Isopropylimidazole Abstract: This article explores the efficacy of 2-isopropylimidazole (2-IPI) as an adhesion promoter in epoxy coatings applied to metal substrates. The study delves into the mechanisms by which 2-IPI influences interfacial interactions, modifying both the epoxy resin network and the metal surface. Characterization techniques including pull-off...
