Development of scratch- and abrasion-resistant coating materials based on nanoparticles, cured by radiation

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of monomers, prepolymers, and nanosilica on the scratch and abrasion resistance of nanocomposite coatings. Ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing were used to cure the nanocomposite coatings. The effect of monomers, prepolymers and nanosilica p...

Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to compare the effect of monomers, prepolymers, and nanosilica on the scratch and abrasion resistance of nanocomposite coatings. Ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) curing were used to cure the nanocomposite coatings. The effect of monomers, prepolymers and nanosilica particles on the viscosity, pendulum hardness, gel content, scratch and abrasion resistance were studied. It was found that the optimum formulation for scratch and abrasion resistance contained 15% Ebecryl 600 epoxy acrylate resin with 30% monomer PETIA and 30% of Aerosil OX-50 nanosilica.
