A coating composition, formed of a film-forming component comprising a
functional group-containing resinous binder and, optionally, a
crosslinking agent having at least two functional groups that are
reactive with the functional groups of the film-forming component,
wherein, when the composition is applied and cured to form a cured
coating, the cured coating is characterized as having a bicontinuous
morphology. Methods of making the coating composition and coatings
prepared therefrom are also provided. The coating composition can provide
improved physical properties, such as chip resistance, when incorporated
into a coating.
