Intelligent Nano-Protective Production In Industrial Paints

Abstract

Industrial paints with nanotechnology are the highest technology in the paint industry. Nanotechnological paints, also known as "smart paints", are protective and decorative, they can have properties such as antimicrobial, water repellent and fire retardant, which help to clean the ambient air and self-clean with light thanks to their photocatalytic cleaning feature. However, considering the industrial nature of production, the infrastructure and production technology are insufficient when considering the efficiency, cost and time criteria. These negative conditions can be overcome by using electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA), ie electrospinning and electrospray methods. In recent studies; It has been stated that the EHDA technique, which enables the production of capsules (electrospray) or fibers (electrospinning) under high voltage, can be an alternative for industrial paint applications. In this study, it is aimed to give information about the basics of EHDA technique and the production and usage possibilities of electrospray method as a smart nanoprotector in industrial paint applications.
