ABSTRACT:An organic-inorganic hybrid condensate formed by the reaction of lacquer sap and organic functional silane was examined to develop a naturally drying lacquer. The hydroxyl group of urushiol contained in the lacquer sap underwent alcoholysis reaction with the organic functional silane and generated a high molecular weight polymer of polysiloxane. The natural drying process of the hybrid lacquer film is a hydrolysis reaction. In addition, the activities of the alkoxy groups in the organic functional silane showed that the methoxy activity was higher than ethoxy, and trimethoxy activity was higher than dimethoxy. The amino residues in organic functional silane react with the cathechol ring of urushiol, and then the hybrid oxidizes to a dark color. However, there is a tendency for the ring-opening reduction of an epoxy group to produce a light color due to the coexistence of epoxy silane.
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.
