New additives for multifunctional modification of polymeric surfaces

Provider: Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu
Programme: TRIO (2016-2021)
Implementation period: 01.01.18 - 31.12.21
Workplace: Fakulta chemicko-technologická - Oddělení technologie organických látek
Investigator: Hrdina Radim
Team member: Burgert Ladislav | Držková Markéta
Description:
The main objective of the project is to extend the beneficiary´s production portfolio to new high added value products in line with the long-term strategy of selling high-quality HPP pigments with unique user properties in terms of intensity, stability and quality of final product dyeing, and to achieve other functional properties of these materials to extend the area of their application to the functional adjustment of surfaces of mechanical products, especially in the automotive industry. Solved colorants, perylenes, also exhibit the ability to interact with air oxygen after the irradiation to generate so-called singlet oxygen (photoactive system) as well as the ability to change its shade (the thermochromic system) under precisely defined conditions. The photoactivities will be investigated for use in self-cleaning systems aimed at the degradation of monomolecular organic compounds and subsequent microbial attack while maintaining the stability of the carrier polymer systems. Thermochromic properties are based on the change in crystalline structure and intermolecular interactions in the carrier environment. The aim is to propose a process for the incorporation of functionalized perylene compounds into a polymeric matrix intended for surface treatments of engineering products in the form of functional coatings or in the form of a thin polymer film.
