Fig. 6

Plot showing the elastic modulus (MPa) vs temperature (\(^{\circ }\mathrm {C}\)) from uniaxial tensile tests of oil, alkyd, and acrylic paints. The graph does not account for other testing variables such as age, RH, solvent exposure, or pigment/particle type used in the paint medium. Data compiled in this graph are from [15, 18, 19, 28, 30, 33,34,35,36,37, 39, 41,42,43, 46,47,48,49,50,51, 54, 55, 58, 60, 61]
