Abstract:The development of hard coating based on colloidal silica nanoparticles on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) sheet was reported. The colloidal silica was surface-modified with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and formulated to hard coating solution via sol-gel process. The hard coating solution was applied to PMMA surface by spray deposition technique. Spraying process was carried out from spray nozzle outlet diameter of 0.35 mm and air compress pressure at 0.2 MPa with nozzle to substrate distance at 10 cm. The dif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
