Semi-gloss commercial poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) coatings typically have 60o gloss values between 20 and 50. Gloss is affected by PVDF crystallite structures and by the pigmentation. In this paper, we have demonstrated that for some pigmented PVDF
In 1880 the Census Office and the National Museum in Washington, DC conducted a study of building stones of the United States and collected a set of reference specimens from working quarries. This collection was merged with the Centennial Collection of US
