UV Curable Robust Durable Hydrophobic Coating Based on Epoxy Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (EP-POSS) and Their Derivatives.

ABSTRACT: Hydrophobic coatings have considerable potential applications in many fields. Ease of operation and high durability are essential for practical use. Fast curing and being solvent-free are a plus, and if they possess certain characteristics (antigraffiti, good adhesion, high hardness, heat resistance, wide range of applicability, etc.) at the same time, it is a dream solution. Herein, a facile one-step approach with the above features was reported for a UV curable robust hydrophobic coating based on Epoxy Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxanes (EP-POSSs). The structure and surface morphology of these EP-POSSs and their derivatives were systematically studied. Because of the core-in-cage structure which was constructed by repeating units of R-Si(O_1/2)₃ and the strong cov
