Interpretation of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Heavy Duty Epoxy Based Floor Coating Doped by Nanosilica
Abstract
Epoxy-nano silica composites were prepared using Bisphenol-A epoxy resin (Araldite® GY 6010) resin obtained from in situ polymerization or blending method. SiO2 nanoparticles were pretreated by a silan based coupling agent. Surface treated nano silica was dispersed excellently by mechanical and ultrasonic homogenizers. A dramatic increase in the interfacial area between fillers and polymer can significantly improve the properties of the epoxy coating product such as tensile, elongation, abrasion resistance, etc.
