Artificial aging induced changes in ZnO- and TiO₂-based polyacrylic surface coatings

Key Points

• Degradation of polyacrylic surface coatings increases under artificial aging conditions, which affects their durability.
• ZnO and TiO₂ nanoparticles influence physical properties, with notable changes observed after exposure.
• The analysis involved systematic assessments of the coatings' physical and chemical characteristics.
• Further studies on the long-term effects of artificial aging are needed to optimize coating performance.
