An Al powder filler, nano silica slurry and KH560 were mixed with a prepared waterborne UV-curable coating, and the coating was optimized by an orthogonal experiment. Influences of the Al powder concentration on the gloss, infrared emissivity, brightness, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and other related properties of the coating were further discussed. The results show that the influence of the Al powder concentration on the gloss was more significant, followed by the UV curing time and nano silica slurry concentration. After studying the key role of the concentration of the Al powder, we found that as the concentration of the Al powder is augmented from 10.0% to 25.0%, the gloss lessened from 19.1% to 8.5%. As the concentration of the Al powder was augmented from 10.0% to 40.0%, the infrared emissivity lessened from 0.649 to 0.083 and the brightness L’ value of the coating was step-by-step augmented and inclined to be stable; in addition, the coating’s mechanical properties reached an excellent level. The coating containing 25.0% Al powder had the best corrosion resistance, surface morphology and comprehensive properties, which can potentially be used for infrared stealth technology.

To improve the performances of UV-curable coatings, the effects of nano-silica slurry, aluminum and UV-curing time on the glossiness and infrared emissivity of UV-curable coatings were investigated by orthogonal experiments. The results showed that UV-curing time is a key factor affecting the performance of the coating. When the UV-curing time was increased from 30 to 360 s, the glossiness of the UV-curable coating slowly decreased from 11.1% to 9.0%. The L’ value decreased from 78.6 to 75.0. The infrared emissivity of the coating with UV-curing time of 180 s was 0.106, which was the lowest. The coating hardness with different curing time was 6H. The coating roughness was high when the UV-curing time was 30–120 s. When the UV-curing time was greater than 300 s, the coating adhesion was 0 and the coating had the best impact resistance of 500 N/cm. The overall performance of the aluminum/UV-curable coating was optimal when the UV-curing time was 180 s. This research is able to promote the industrial development of UV-curable, infrared, low-emissivity coatings.

An aluminum/waterborne acrylic coating was developed by orthogonal experiments, and the gloss, emissivity, chromatic distortion, hardness, adhesion, impact resistance, and corrosion resistance of the coatings were examined. The results showed that the effect of drying time on the infrared emissivity of coatings was more significant than that of the Al powder concentration and nano-silica slurry. When the drying time was prolonged from 0.5 to 6.0 min, the gloss of the coating decreased slowly and the gloss remained low. The infrared emissivity first decreased and then increased. The infrared emissivity of coatings dried for 2.0 min was better. The L’ value gradually decreased and showed a small change of range. With the increasing of the drying time, the hardness of the coating gradually decreased and was the highest at 0.5–2.0 min. The drying time had no effect on the adhesion level. The impact resistance of the coating was better during the drying period of 1.0–3.0 min. The corrosion resistance of the coating was better at 2.0 min. When the drying time was 2.0 min, the waterborne coating showed the better comprehensive performance. This study provides new prospects in using low infrared emissive coatings for infrared stealth and compatibility with visible light.

Polyurethane acrylates (PUAs) are a kind of UV curable prepolymer with excellent comprehensive performance. However, PUAs are highly hydrophilic and when applied outdoors, presenting serious problems caused by rain such as discoloring, losing luster and blistering. Thus, it’s important to improve their hydrophobicity and resistance against corrosion. In this paper, carbon microspheres (CMSs) were modified through chemical grafting method. Active double bonds were introduced onto the surface of organic carbon microspheres (OCMSs) and the functional product was referred to as FCMS. The results of Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that organic chain segments were successfully connected to the surface of OCMSs and the grafting efficiency was as high as 16%. FCMSs were successfully added into UV-curable polyurethane acrylate prepolymer to achieve a hydrophobic coating layer with good mechanical properties, thermal stability and corrosion resistance. When the addition of FCMSs were 1%, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that 5% of the initial mass was lost at 297 °C. The water absorption decreased from 52% to 38% and the water contact angle of the PUA composite increased from 72° to 106°. The pencil hardness increased to 4H and obvious crack termination phenomenon was observed in SEM images. Moreover, the corrosion rate was decreased from 0.124 to 0.076 mm/a.

Epoxy resins are among the most important building blocks for fabrication of thermosets for many different applications thanks to their superior thermo-mechanical properties and chemical resistance. The recent concerns on the environmental problems and the progressive depletion of petroleum feedstocks have drawn the research interest in finding biobased alternatives. Many curing techniques can be used to obtain the final crosslinked thermoset networks. The UV-curing technology can be considered the most environmentally friendly because of the absence of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and mild curing conditions. This review provides an overview of the state of the art of bio-based cationic UV-curable epoxy resins. Particular focus has been given to the sources of the bio-based epoxy monomers and the applications of the obtained products.

A UV curable hybrid system with a dual mechanism of radical and cationic photo-polymerization, was investigated. A kind of free radical oligomer with low viscosity named hexahydrophthalic acid diglycidyl acrylate was first synthesized. The structure of the oligomer was characterization by FTIR. The UV curing processing of hybrid system was traced by real-time FTIR, and compared with free radical, cationic system. Thermal decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature of UV curing film for various system were determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differental scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. And physical and mechanical properties of those curing films were analyzed and compared. The results show that the radical polymerization of double bond and cationic polymerization of epoxy group could occur simultaneously in hybrid system. The conversion rate of epoxy group for hybrid system was higher than that of epoxy group for cationic system, which demonstrated that the cationic photo-initiator (DPI·PF6) can be sensitized by the free radical photo-initiator (Irgacure 184). Compared with free radical and cationic system, the hardness and mechanical properties of hybrid system curing film were better than those of the cationic system curing film, while closed to those of free radical system.

The development of deposition of different metal processes established on electrodeposition of nickel, different alloy and composite coatings on different surfaces has attested an upsurge in interest among researchers. In latter years, these coatings have exhibited promising corrosion and wear resistance properties. Also, huge number of modern developments became most critical from macro to nano level applications. It is well known that one may shape the microstructure and the phase present in the material to recover the mechanical properties of highly pure materials, specifically metals. Co-deposition of fine particles inside a metal matrix to generate composite coatings has treated as a practical strategy to acquire enhanced mechanical properties like wear resistance, corrosion resistance and lubrication. In this work, CuO/Ni composite coatings are processed on the small cylindrical pin by electro brush plating to evaluate the wear and corrosion resistance. To examine the effects about the different parameters of processes on wear loss of CuO/Ni composite coating, L16(44) orthogonal experiment is designed and conducted with four process parameters (voltage, concentration of nanoCuO particles in g/l, temperature and thickness) which are selected as factors. Design of experiment is employed to resolve the effects of process parameters on the wear loss of composite coatings. It is concluded that concentration of CuO nanoparticle and voltage are the most significant factors for the wear loss.
