Nano-reinforced paint?
Nano-reinforced paint?
(OP)
Hi,
Would it be possible to add fumed silica, carbon nanotubes, chopped fiberglass strands, or carbon black to epoxy/polyurethane based paint to make them harder, stronger, and more durable?
I know that carbon black and fumed silica has made tires 10x stronger and much more abrasion resistant, so if it works on rubber, would it work on plastic?
Thanks.

A good starter book on paints and coatings is Clive Hare's "Protective Coatings: Fundamentals of Chemistry and Composition"
