The Effect of Leucite Ceramics on Mechanical Properties of Silicone Coating

摘要

Silicone based coating was considered a high performance coatings used to preserve or protect a variety of different materials. However, its mechanical property was a weakness for using in several applications. In this research study, leucite ceramic particles were added to silicone coating in order to improve some mechanical properties. Leucite ceramic particles were synthesized by in-house sol-gel process. The morphology and phase identification of our synthesized leucite particles were analyzed by SEM and XRD, respectively. It was revealed that the concentration and size of leucite ceramic particles played the important role on several properties of silicone coating.
