Abstract

Fine particles of zinc-cerium oxides (ZCO) used as an ultraviolet filter were prepared via combustion synthesis route. The catalytic activity, UV-shielding performance, surface modification and application of ZCO in polyester varnish were discussed in detail. The experimental results indicate that the photo-catalytic activity of ZCO is much smaller than these of ZnO and TiO2; the oxidation catalytic activity of ZCO is far lower than that of CeO2; the ZCO has shown excellent ultraviolet absorption in the range of UV; addition modified ZCO (MZCO) into polyester will enhance the UV-shielding capability of polyester.
