Abstract

The present research studies on the effect of nanoparticles on polymeric coatings and heat transfer in them. For this purpose, three different weight percentage of nano-zirconium oxide (1, 3 and 5%) were added to polyurethane resin and applied on metallic plates. To determine the radiation heat transfer coefficients, emissivity coefficient and thermography of the samples along a region of long wavelengths (IR) were measured. The results showed that by adding zirconium oxide nanoparticles to the polyurethane resin, the absorption and emissivity coefficient of coating in all three samples were improved compared to the coating without nanoparticles.
