Physical and mrschanical properties of alkyd-Ceramer hybrid coatings based on long oil linseed alkyd resin and a mixture of Zirconium and Titanium iso-propoxide

Organic- Inorganic hybrid materials were prepared using a long oil linseed alkyd resin as organic phase and a mixture of Zirconium n-propoxide (Zip) and Titanium iso-propoxide (Tip) as the inorganic phase. By varying the concentration of the precursors and the alkyd resin, various coating properties of these hybrid films such as hardness, scratch resistant, adhesion and reverse impact resistant were investigated as a function of precursor content. As a general rule the resulting hybrid coatings had more improved mechanical properties in comparison to the alkyd resin alone
