All epoxy coatings were degraded by ultraviolet radiation with a xenon lamp for 250 h to determine their weathering resistance. The damage suffered by each coating was evaluated quantifying their FTIR spectra, considering the carbonyls and hydroxyls formed during this type of degradation. Subsequently, studies of plastic universal hardness and abrasive and erosive wear were carried out. The results obtained show that these functionalized coatings have better mechanical and wear performance than the commercial coating after xenon light exposure. This is coherent with the fact that the non-reinforced coatings have the greatest degradation both by hydrolysis and photodegradation. After the weathering process carried out, the 3 % coating proves to have the best abrasive and erosive wear performances. Thus, the calcium ion-exchanged silica particles allow the service life of UV exposed epoxy powder coating to be extended, not only because of their anti-corrosive character but also because of their weathering stabilization properties.

However, achieving a rapid fabrication process that results in coatings with effective anti-fouling properties, alongside the comprehensive performance of the coatings such as hardness, flexibility, transparency, and abrasion resistance, remains a significant challenge. Herein, this paper proposes a synergistic strategy combining ultraviolet (UV) curing and organic/inorganic hybridization, which involves the rapid cross-linking of hyperbranched methacryloxypropyl polysiloxanes (HMO), polyurea-polyurethanes acrylate (SPUA) and bis-vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS-bvt) containing multiple double bonds under UV curing for just 60 s. Notably, HMO imparts excellent hardness (7H) and abrasion resistance, while SPUA enhances the coating's flexibility (2 mm bending diameter) and adhesion (5B). The anti-fouling properties of the coating are attributed to PDMS-bvt, which provides self-cleaning, anti-graffiti, and anti-fingerprint capabilities. Additionally, the coating's hydrophobicity and smooth surface significantly reduce ice adhesion strength (21.13 ± 6.9 kPa), offering a passive anti-icing effect. Furthermore, the coating exhibits excellent transparency, with a transmittance of >92 % in the visible region. The coating exhibits remarkable durability, maintaining its anti-fouling performance after exposure to mechanical abrasion (500 abrasion cycles and 1000 bending/release cycles), chemical corrosion (24 h of immersion in organic solutions), and UV aging (168 h).

By exploiting a charring agent-derived active diluent, pentaerythritol glycidyl ether (PTGE), in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and EP, a solvent-free EP coating with enhanced flame retardancy, water resistance, and anticorrosion properties is constructed.

Starting from the electroactive component, aniline tetramer (AT) was synthesized via an oxidative coupling reaction.
