Research abstract

Durable and aesthetically acceptable cool roof materials are critically necessary for the success of energy saving program. Currently used organic pigments in cool roof paints are too sensitive to UV light to endure long time exposure to strong sunlight. Elongation of the lifetime of organic pigments without sacrifice the pigment color will significantly accelerate the cool roof program in US.Waterborne clear TiO2/Acrylic nanocomposite paint protected organic pigment coated on aluminum will fulfill commercially viable high solar IR reflective, and architecturally acceptable cool roof coating.Waterborne clear UV protective TiO2/Acrylic nanocomposite was formulated. Effective UV protection effects were demonstrated. Nanotrons planned to optimize TiO2/Acrylic nanocomposite. Optimized nanocomposite formulation will be scaled up to commercially viable product for long lasting cool roof coating applications. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The success of this method will produce cool roof paint that can last for longtime.
