Abstract:
The invention relates to zinc oxide nanoparticles having an average particle size in the range from 3 to 50 nm, dispersed in an organic solvent, according to one or more of claims 1 to 6, characterised in that in a step a) one or more precursors of the nanoparticles are converted into the nanoparticles in an alcohol, in a step b) the growth of the nanoparticles is terminated by addition of at least one modifier, which is a precursor of silica, when the absorption edge in the UV/VIS spectrum of the reaction solution has reached the desired value, in a step c) the silica coating is modified by addition of at least one further surface modifier selected from the group consisting of organofunctional silanes, quaternary ammonium compounds, phosphonates, phosphonium and sulfonium compounds or mixtures thereof, and optionally, in step d), the alcohol from step a) is removed and replaced by another organic solvent, to isolated nanoparticles, and to the use thereof for UV protection in polymers.
Abstract:
Described is a process for protecting a metallic substrate against corrosion resulting in the formation of a species X, derived from the metal, wherein a coating composition based on (hetero)polysiloxanes prepared by hydrolysis and condensation processes is applied to the substrate and cured, and which is characterized in that the coating composition comprises at least one species Z which reacts or interacts with the metal to form a species Y having a more negative formation enthalpy than the species X.
Abstract:
Thin SiO.sub.2 films can be produced by hydrolysis and condensation ofa) 40 to 100% by weight of one or more silanes of general formula (I)R.sub.x --Si--A.sub.4-x (I) in which the groups A are identical or different and stand for hydroxyl groups or hydrolytically separable groups, the groups R are identical or different and stand for hydrolytically non-separable groups, x has the value 0, 1, 2 or 3, x being not less than 1 for 70% by moles of said silanes;b) optionally in the presence of 0 to 50% by weight of colloidal SiO.sub.2 and/orc) 0 to 10% by weight of organic binder.The viscous sol thus obtained is worked into a gel film which is heat-treated.
