Abstract
Preparation and characterization of weather resistant silicone/acrylic resin coatings were investigated. In order to prepare the weather resistant resin coatings, a silicone/acrylic resin (KLD) was first prepared by an addition polymerization reaction of monomers, including n-butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, and 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTS). In the preparation of the silicone/acrylic resin, T g of the acrylic copolymer was fixed at 40°C and the contents of MPTS were varied to be 10, 20, and 30 wt%. The weather resistant silicone/acrylic resin coatings were then prepared by blending the synthesized silicone/acrylic resin and TiO 2 . The viscosity of the synthesized resin decreased with the content of MPTS, whereas the thermal stability at high temperature increased. The prepared coatings exhibited excellent adhesion to various substrates, and various physical properties of the coatings were satisfactory. The weatherability of the coatings was tested by three ways: outdoor exposure test, Sunshine Weather-Ometer (WOM), and Q-ultraviolet (QUV) accelerated weatherability tester. The gloss retention, yellowness index difference, color difference, and lightness index difference were improved at high MPTS concentration. The coatings containing 30 wt% MPTS have especially good weather resistant properties.
