Abstract

The sol-gel process has been applied for the synthesis of inorganic-organic powder materials. For this purpose, low reactivity and, for reasons of comparison, nanoscaled sol-gel precursors and nanoscaled silica filler were used to synthesize a low molecular weight inorganic-organic composite which was meltable between 85°C and 100°C and curable at temperatures of 150°C - 200°C. The powders were used for electrostatic coating of aluminum sheets. The resulting coatings of the unfilled system exhibited excellent mechanical properties, e. g. a high abrasion resistance (weight losses between 6 mg and 10 mg per 1000 cycles by taber abrader test (ASTM D1044)) and high values for hardness (universal hardness (DIN 55676): 150 N/mm2). The hardness of the materials was increased up to 210 N/mm2 by the addition of silica, while the abrasion resistance remained unaffected.
