Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV)-curable waterborne epoxy acrylic resin (EB) containing silver nitrate and graphene oxide (GO) was prepared. A new waterborne epoxy acrylate-based coating (rGO/AgNP/CEB) containing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was obtained by the in situ crosslinking of EB and the reduction of GO and silver ion (Ag+) via UV curing. The experimental results showed that UV irradiation combined with glucose effectively reduced GO and Ag+ to rGO and AgNP. Moreover, AgNPs with a diameter of approximately 60 nm were uniformly distributed in the coating. This material can be used for the antifouling of the inner wall of fishponds in mariculture.
