NANOFILLERS, NANOCOMPOSITES COMPOSED OF AN ORGANIC BINDER AND NANOFILLERS, PROCESS FOR THEIR PRODUCTION AND THEIR USE

摘要

A process is presented for producing nanocomposites from nanopowders present in agglomerated form and organic binders. By means of surface modification of the nanofillers in an organic medium, it is possible to divide the agglomerates permanently to such an extent that transparent nanocomposites can be obtained. The modified nanopowder is preferably isolated as a dry intermediate. The production of the nanocomposites presented is simpler than the production of nanocomposites by the sol-gel technique and is additionally more flexible and more widely usable. An important application for the nanocomposites is that of scratch-resistant coatings.
