Functional nanoscale additives for ultra-durable powder-coating polymers

Surface-modified titania nanoparticles were prepared and their suitability as additives for the long-term UV-photoprotection of polymer materials was investigated. It was demonstrated that the functionalization of nano-TiO2 with different fatty acid and phosphonate-based grafting reagents has a beneficial effect on the long-term stability of polyester composites under accelerated weathering conditions.
