Fabrication and wave shielding behavior of UV curing coating of carbon nanotubes/epoxy acrylate

UV curing coating of carbon nanotubes/epoxy acrylate (CNTs/EA) was prepared by the molecule group reaction of CNTs with EA. The anti-infrared/ultraviolet property was characterized by UV-vis and FTIR. The results demonstrate that, its transmittance is greater than 85% in visible spectrum, the ratio of wave shielding is 68.55% in near infrared wave range (4000~12000 cm^-1) and it shields all of wave in ultraviolet the region (<300 nm). At same time the mechanical property of composite coating is improved. So these new nano-composite materials would be expected to be a wave shielding thin coating in functional applications.
