Preparation of Hydrophobic Nanosilica and the Application in Polyester PaintZHANG Chao-can,LI Zhi-hu(School of Materials Science and Engineering,Wuhan University of Technology,Wuhan 430070,China)Silica was extracted from the sodium silicate solution to THF firstly,and then the nanosilica alcohol solution was prepared by distillation.The solution was stable,uniform and clear.The content of SiO2 could be up to 25%.SiO2/polyester composite film was obtained by mixing the nanosilica alcohol solution with the polyester.Performance tests of the composite film were carried out according to the national standard.The results showed that the nanosilica alcohol solution had a good compatibility with polyester and could be dispersed uniformly in the composite film.Therefore,SiO2/polyester composite film exhibited higher rigidity,better wear-resisting performance and excellent absorb performance of the ultraviolet radiation.nanosilica;polyester paint;composite film;esterification
