Effect of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Anti-ageing Properties of Saturated Polyester Resin Based Coating.

Abstract

Nanotechnology is considered to be one of the most important future technologies and is currently enabling evolutionary
changes in almost all technological sectors. Coating sector is one of the biggest beneficiaries of this technology. Today,
coating not only serves the purpose of beautification but also a means to protect valuable metals and buildings from
corrosion. The availability of varieties of nanomaterials, various method of assembly and application of nanomaterials,
the understanding of interaction parameters, the tailoriability of materials to suit for specific purpose, and self assembly
behavior, high surface area to volume ratio and quantum effect of nanoparticles have been the key to success and holds
promise for future applications. This overview is the technological survey to differentiate micro particles and
nanoparticles, along with importance, synthesis, and application of nanoparticles. It also discusses about the effect of
ZnO nanoparticles on anti-aging properties of polyester coating.
