UV curing kinetics and properties of polyurethane acrylate/multi-walled carbon nanotube coatings

Abstract: Polyurethane (PU) acrylate/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite coatings were synthesized by simple UV irradiation at ambient temperature. In particular, aromatic PU acrylate and aliphatic PU acrylate were chosen to examine the effect of the π-π interaction between the MWNTs and the aromatic PU acrylate. The electrical properties showed that the incorporation of only a few hundred MWNT in wt% was sufficient for electrostatic dissipative applications. Other properties, such as the rheological propertie… Show more

“…Although unfilled polyurethane coats usually exhibit good thermal, mechanical [2] and electrostatic properties (especially in the case of ionomeric PUR) [3], the introduction of carbon nanoparticles significantly improves these features and sometimes allows the retention of transparency at a high level of ca. 80 % [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Polyurethane compositions filled with CNT, GNP or GN are described in the literature but they are generally applied as cast films.…”

“…However, in the case of nanocomposites, the fillers are in the form of nano dimensions where we can retard some properties by using a very small amount of nanoparticles. Currently, adding appropriate inorganic fillers, such as, nanoclay, SiO 2 , TiO 2 , ZnO, Al 2 O 3 , CNF, CNT, and graphene oxides [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] into organic coatings can improve the corrosion resistance as well as mechanical properties without disturbing key properties. This combination of size and strength gives significant reinforcing potential and acts as a strong candidate for respective applications.…”

“…In this study, we utilize dynamic rheology to investigate the systematic effects of two different ZNPs, one reactive and one passive, at various loading levels of up to 85 wt % (∼52 vol %) and at different irradiation intensities with respect to the cross-linking behavior of solvent-swollen, UV-curable PDMS nanocomposites. The UV cross-linking behavior of polymers has been previously interrogated through the use of analytical methods such as photo-DSC and infrared spectroscopy. Although both techniques can afford valuable insight into the thermal and chemical nature of the cross-linking process, they do not explicitly provide information regarding structure–property development as the systems undergo UV cross-linking. Dynamic rheology constitutes an alternative tool by which to probe the evolution of microstructure as it proceeds along a UV-induced reaction coordinate, as well as evaluate the final material properties. Recent studies have employed dynamic rheology to discern the effects of nanofillers on UV-induced cross-linking in polymer nanocomposites for various applications, ranging from inkjet printer ink to dental materials .…”
