Characterization of TiO2 nanopaint for automotive application
Nanopaint is a coating that can modify the properties of a surface or substance according to user-defined parameters. Like ordinary paint, nanopaint is applied as a liquid and then hardens. Nanopaint is a suspension of liquid containing metal or non-metallic nanoparticles of typical size (1-100 nm)...

| Summary: | Nanopaint is a coating that can modify the properties of a surface or substance according to user-defined parameters. Like ordinary paint, nanopaint is applied as a liquid and then hardens. Nanopaint is a suspension of liquid containing metal or non-metallic nanoparticles of typical size (1-100 nm) dispersed into the base coat paint. Single composite of Titanium oxide nanoparticle is consider an extension of research work for single nanopaint, which can be carry out through dispersed composites in basecoat paint. The objective of this study is to investigate characterize the single composition of TiO2 nanopaint for automotive application. The nanopaint mixture was prepared at volume concentration of 1.0% using twostep method. The nanoparticles used namely TiO2 is dispersed in a base fluid of polyester white paint. The investigation on the characterization for the nanopaint in the present study is conduct through adhesion cutter, SEM, Gloss meter and surface roughness meter. The findings from the investigations on the characterization of nanopaint show that the paint each all the required value for the normal paint characterization. Comparison data between 1% weight concentrations for nano painy to the normal paint also confirm the increase in the surface roughness quality which is 0.10 less surface deviation compare to normal paint and gloss value up to 26% more glossier. It can be concluded that the nanopaint were successfully prepared and achieved good characterization. |
