Papers published in the journal covers research in both basic and applied aspects in science, mathematics, and engineering. Review papers are also welcome.</p> Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension - MSU-IIT en-US Asia-Pacific Journal of Science, Mathematics, and Engineering 2244-5471 https://journals.msuiit.edu.ph/apjsme/article/view/50 <p dir="ltr">The effects of formulation factors on the pencil hardness and thermal degradation properties of a bio-based coating derived from Talisay (Terminalia catappa) seed oil extract were studied. The bio-based coating was prepared using thiol-ene coupling via photopolymerization. Pencil hardness measurements of the film coating were performed and results show that increasing Oil/MDI ratio decreases the hardness of the film coating. Furthermore, thermogravimetric measurements show that the film coating is thermally stable up to 300℃.</p> Abhel Ananoria Jullifranz Cagulangan Ronelyn Grace Jalique Xela Patrice Pingol Copyright (c) 2022 2022-03-14 2022-03-14 5 2 1 3
