Traditional craftwork that can be washed with a dishwasher, “nanocomposite tamamushi-nuri”

Abstract

by applying a protective layer in which resin and clay were mixed on the surface of the lacquerware. The components of the protective layer were selected from the viewpoints of dispersibility in a solvent, transparency of the layer, and hardness of the layer. It was confirmed that even after repeated washing with a dishwasher, the color, gloss, and surface flatness of the protective layer resisted deterioration. We optimized the paste viscosity, spray blowing pressure, and number of coatings to establish a method of giving a protective layer to products. In addition, we examined designs and productivity, considered user ratings, and created a product that exhibited the above-mentioned superior characteristics.
