INTRODUCTION:<br />

My dissertation thesis deals with the physical-chemical aspects <strong>of</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t film degradation.<br />

This work is focused on the study and exam<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> physical-chemical aspects <strong>of</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t film<br />

degradation by <strong>selected</strong> solvents. Ma<strong>in</strong>ly it is considered to the determ<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> solubility<br />

parameters <strong>of</strong> used polymers δ2 and the exam<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> the <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>of</strong> especially polymer<br />

structure to the value <strong>of</strong> this δ2. The ma<strong>in</strong> goal <strong>of</strong> this study is to verify the coat<strong>in</strong>g solubility<br />

theory based on the knowledge <strong>of</strong> their solubility parameters <strong>in</strong> practise and its application for<br />

coat<strong>in</strong>gs. The other goals <strong>in</strong>clude the projection and formulation some new solvent’s mixture<br />

and additives <strong>in</strong>tended for remov<strong>in</strong>g pa<strong>in</strong>t films and graffiti. Such formulation need to be well<br />

perform<strong>in</strong>g and ecological acceptable at the same time, which is the precondition for their<br />

wide application <strong>in</strong> practise.<br />

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:<br />

Chemical degradation <strong>of</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t films could be def<strong>in</strong>ed as the physical and chemical<br />

<strong>in</strong>teractions between film-form<strong>in</strong>g components <strong>of</strong> the pa<strong>in</strong>t and chemical surround<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the chemical degradation <strong>of</strong> polymer a disruption <strong>of</strong> cha<strong>in</strong>s and reticulation, a change<br />

<strong>of</strong> chemical structure <strong>of</strong> cha<strong>in</strong>s, a change <strong>of</strong> side groups or comb<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>of</strong> all these<br />

phenomena take place. This leads to changes <strong>in</strong> pa<strong>in</strong>t qualities and coats lose their visual<br />

appearance and orig<strong>in</strong>al qualities upon the exposure to organic solvents.<br />

From the thermodynamic po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> view, a solubility <strong>of</strong> polymer and a degree <strong>of</strong> solvent<br />

aff<strong>in</strong>ity to polymer is given by the Gibb´s energy change, which is determ<strong>in</strong>ed by the<br />

<strong>in</strong>teraction between solvent molecules and macromolecular cha<strong>in</strong> elements. ΔGmix = ΔHmix -<br />

TΔSmix < 0.<br />

The more negative is value <strong>of</strong> ΔGmix the better is solubility <strong>of</strong> polymer <strong>in</strong> solvent. Then the<br />

dissolv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> polymers is ma<strong>in</strong>ly a question <strong>of</strong> value ΔHmix because dur<strong>in</strong>g swell<strong>in</strong>g or<br />

dissolv<strong>in</strong>g always <strong>in</strong>crease system’s disorderl<strong>in</strong>ess. Accord<strong>in</strong>g to thermodynamic conditions<br />

than is necessary that ΔHmix
