Synthesis and characterization of elastomeric polyester coatings for automotive pre-coated metal

► We designed elastomeric polyester coatings for scratch resistance and reflow property. ► Cyclohexanediol has a stiff structure consisting of CC single bonds. ► Physical properties were measured to define the effect of cyclohexane structure. ► Cyclohexanediol is a factor for improving scratch resistance and reflow property.
