Özet:
The degradation of polyaspartic ester (PAE) resins under ultraviolet (UV) exposure poses significant challenges for their long-term use in outdoor applications. This study investigates the enhancement of UV resistance of PAE resins through the incorporation of metal oxide particles as UV absorbers. The research aims to determine the efficacy of metal oxide particles in improving the UV protective properties of PAE resins. Experimental results demonstrate that the UV absorption values of resin dispersions containing metal oxide particles significantly increased compared to pure PAE resin. This enhancement may be attributed to the metal oxides' ability to absorb and scatter UV light, thereby reducing the transmission of harmful UV rays through the resin matrix. Various concentrations of metal oxide particles were tested, and the findings underscore the importance of achieving a homogeneous dispersion within the resin for optimal UV protection. The study concludes that the incorporation of metal oxide particles into PAE resins can remarkably enhance the UV resistance of PAE. The improved UV absorption characteristics make these modified resins more suitable for applications exposed to prolonged UV radiation. This research provides a foundation for further exploration into optimizing particle concentrations and dispersion techniques to maximize the UV resistance of polyaspartic ester resins while maintaining their transparency over visible region of the optical spectrum
