Thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties of water-based acrylic Polymer/SiO2–Ag nanocomposite coating

The Synergistic Effects of Sio2 Nanoparticles and Organic Photostabilizers for Enhanced Weathering Resistance of Acrylic Polyurethane Coating

“…For example, by adding nano-SiO2 into the coating formulation, the mechanical, thermal, [2,17] weathering resistance [18,19], and anticorrosion properties [20,21] of the organic coatings were significantly improved. Nano-SiO2 is also used for both super hydrophobic coatings [22][23][24][25][26] or hydrophilic coatings [27].…”

“…For fabrication of coating, 2 wt % T384, 1 wt % T292, and 2 wt % SiO 2 nanoparticles (by the total solid resin) were selected at the optimal values in our previously published works [5,27]. Weight ratios of materials in coating formulations are presented in Table 1.…”

“…The abrasion resistance of the coatings was determined by falling sand abrasion method according to ASTM D968 standard [27]. The obtained data were the average values from three measurements of each sample.…”

“…In this study, the variations in chemical structures of the coatings Before aging test, as shown in Figure 3, nanoparticles were dispersed evenly inside the coatings, providing a tight structure. Thus, incorporation of nano-SiO 2 in polymer matrix should enhance the abrasion resistance of coating [27]. Besides, the light stabilizer, as viscous liquid-plasticizer [3]-might cause the softening effect to the coating.…”

Functionalization of Polymers and Nanomaterials for Biomedical Applications: Antimicrobial Platforms and Drug Carriers

“…Regardless of the mentioned approaches and applications, the use of functionalized surfaces could be also considered as an ideal choice for intelligent food packaging markets for preventing the spoilage of food through acting as anti-microbial agents, however, more investigation is required for this application [96,97]. Again, using the surface engineered nanomaterials as anti-fouling coatings for ceramics, tiles, enamel and architectural paints are the other attractive applications of these materials that received much attention from hospitals and other public places in the recent years [98,99]. Indeed, this is only one type of biomimetic method that could enhance the efficiency and reduce the side effect of nanomaterials.…”
