In this study, fluorine chains were bonded with covalently in epoxy acrylate system via UV light. For this purpose, five different coating samples prepared. Bisphenol-A glycerolate diacrylate (epoxy acrylate) and 1,6-Hexanediol diacrylate were used as the main coating solution. The weight ratio of Bisphenol-A glycerolate diacrylate and HDDA was determined as 7/3. As a long fluorine chain, 1H,1H,2H,2Hperfluorodecyl acrylate (PFOA) was added into the main coating solution in the ratios of 0.25 wt %, 0.50 wt %, 0.75 wt % and 1 wt %. All prepared solutions were coated on aluminum plates by 75 µm by wire wound applicator and then cured via UV dryer. Physical properties of coatings were measured by tests such as MEK rubbing test for solvent resistance, gloss 60 o test for brightness, cross-cut test for adhesion property and pencil hardness test for scratch resistance. Hydrophobicity was measured as static water contact angle test. The total surface energy was calculated by contact angle measurement software. In terms of mechanical properties, sheen impact test (for coating samples) and ShoreD hardness tests (for free film samples) were carried out. By examining the results of all these tests; cross-cut adhesion and gloss 60 o values decrease with the fluorine content. On the other hand, by the increasing within the content of the fluorine chains, Taber abrasion resistance and hydrophobicity increase significantly but sheen impact resistance and ShoreD hardness values decrease slightly. In terms of cost and overall results, the most proper and multifunctional coating seemed at 0.25 wt %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
