Abstract
Abstract Nanosized ZnO modified by 2-aminoethyl-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) was prepared using the precipitation method. Modified nano ZnO by silane (ZnO-APS) was characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and UV–vis measurements. The degradation of the polyurethane coating, the polyurethane coatings containing 0.1 wt% nano ZnO and the polyurethane coatings containing nano ZnO-APS at two concentrations (0.1 and 0.5 wt%) during QUV test was evaluated by gloss measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The coating surface after QUV test was observed with SEM. The results show that nano ZnO-APS has spherical structure with particle size around 10–15 nm. Nano ZnO improved the UV resistance of the PU coating and surface treatment by APS enhanced the effect of nano ZnO. The presence of nano ZnO-APS at 0.1 wt% concentration significantly improved the UV resistance of polyurethane coating.
