고형분 70% 아크릴수지를 합성하기 위해 n-butyl methacrylate(BMA), methyl methacrylate(MMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(2-HEMA) 및 acetoacetoxyethyl acrylate(AAEA)와 caprolactone acrylate(CLA)를 사용하여 공중합체의 유리전이온도(Tg)를 50 ℃로 조정하여 합성하였으며, 합성한 아크릴수지의 점도와 분자량은 수산기가(OH values)의 증가에 따라 증가되었다. 높은 고형분의 아크릴수지 합성에 적합한 반응개시제는 di-tert-amyl peroxide 이었으며, 최적의 합성조건은 반응 개시제 5 wt%, 연쇄이동제 4 wt%, 반응온도 140 ℃에서 적하시간은 4시간이었다. 합성수지의 구조는 FT-IR과 1H-NMR spectroscopy로 확인하였고, 수평균 분자량은 1900~2600, 분자량 분포도 1.4~2.1을 얻었다. 합성한 아크릴수지와 무황변성 폴리이소시아네이트인 hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer(Desmodur N-3300)의 NCO/OH 당량비를 1.2/1.0으로 조절하여 아크릴-우레탄 투명도료를 제조하였다. 도료의 물리적 특성으로 점도, 부착성, 건조시간, 가사시간, 연필경도 및 광택을 비교 검토한 결과 부착성, 건조시간, 가사시간, 연필경도 및 광택이 양호한 결과를 나타내었고, 특히 CLA를 10 % 도입한 도료는 부착성이 우수하고 낮은 점도와 높은 경도를 나타내었다.

To prepare weather-resistant modified silane acrylic resin coatings for an architectural purpose, tetrapolymers were synthesized by radical polymerization. 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) as a silicone monomer and n-butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and n-butyl methacrylate as acrylic monomers were used. The composition of monomers was adjusted to fix the glass transition temperature of acrylic polymer for 20℃. The composition of MPTS in the synthesized polymer were varied from 10 wt% to 30 wt%. On the basis of synthesized resin amber paints were prepared and their physical properties and effects on weatherability were examined. The presence of MPTS in modified silane acrylic resins generally resulted in low molecular weight and broad molecular weight distribution, and also lowered the viscosity of the copolymers. The coated films prepared from these resins showed good and balanced properties in general. Adhesion to the substrate was outstanding in particular. Weatherability tests were carried out in three different types such as outdoor exposure, QUV, and SWO. The test results showed that the modified silane acrylic resins containing 30 wt% of MPTS had superior weathering properties.
