Popis: | Nano-TiO2-dispersed polymeric coatings have been extensively studied in recent years owing to their photocatalytic-induced self-cleaning characteristics. However, durability and long-term retention of self-cleaning performance of such coatings remain a challenge for practical applications. In the present work, we report the self-cleaning properties of nano-TiO2/silicone soya alkyd-based coating formulations comprising 0.5–5 wt% of nanofiller as well as conventional additives of rutile TiO2 and BaSO4. The nanocomposites were prepared by an in situ process involving dispersion of nano-TiO2 in soya oil, soya alkyd synthesis by alcoholic process, followed by silicone modification. The coatings prepared from the nanofiller-dispersed resin showed significant UV radiation-induced hydrophilicity and photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) solution. A coating formulation with 2 wt% of nano-TiO2 loading showed a decrease in water contact angle from 87° to |
