Main results
Scientific contributions 
a. Research and Development of Antifouling Coating Systems:
- In-situ synthesis of various nano-additives used for antifouling paint systems, such as ZnO, Cu₂O, ZrO₂, TiO₂, and zeolite@Ag, was conducted with surfactants including TOPO, OLA, and OA. The nano-additives have a particle size ≤ 50 nm and are relatively uniform. The coupling efficiency of organic functional groups on the surface exceeds 90%, with an organic content of about 5-25%. The nano-additives remain well-dispersed and stable in organic solvents even after 12 months. 
- The composition and proportions of the primer, intermediate paint, and topcoat for the anti-biofouling and antifouling paint system used on steel structures operating in seawater have been determined:
+ Organically modified ZnO nanoparticles exhibit good compatibility with the epoxy resin matrix, enhancing the mechanical properties and anti-corrosion protection of the primer film. The primer and primer film meet the technical requirements of TCVN 8789:2011.
+ Organically modified TiO₂ and ZrO₂ nanoparticles exhibit good compatibility with the base resin, enhancing the properties of the intermediate paint film. The intermediate paint and intermediate paint film meet the technical requirements of TCVN 8789:2011. The intermediate paint also improves compatibility and adhesion between the primer and topcoat.
+ Combining an Ag-Zn zeolite additive at a concentration of 1% by weight relative to the mass of the plastic with a nano Cu₂O additive at a concentration of 2% by weight relative to the mass of the plastic enhances the antibacterial properties and the ability to prevent biofilm formation of the coating film. 
- Three technological processes have been developed and successfully used to produce paints on a scale of 100 kg per batch: an epoxy primer modified with nano ZnO, an epoxy intermediate paint modified with nano TiO₂ and nano ZrO₂, and a polysiloxane, vinyl ester, and fluorinated polymer basecoat reinforced with nano TiO₂ and nano ZrO₂ particles. These coatings incorporate commercial antibacterial additives (Irraguard B, Iragol, Rocima) and nano Cu₂O antifouling additives, all meeting the quality requirements specified in TCVN 8789:2011. Subsequently, 100 kg each of primer, intermediate paint, and topcoat were produced to evaluate their characteristics, properties, and performance in natural seawater.
- Laboratory test results indicate that the paint system with polysiloxane and vinyl ester resin coatings effectively resists biofilm adhesion, killing over 95% of the marine bacteria P. stutzeri B27 and sulfate-reducing marine bacteria. After 60 days of testing in natural seawater at Vung Oan, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, the concentrations of Cu⁺ ions released from the coating of the 3-layer paint system were 0.122 mg/L for polysiloxane, 0.247 mg/L for vinyl ester, and 0.020 mg/L for polyfluor coatings. Salt spray and UV-humidity tests demonstrate that the 3-layer paint systems with vinyl ester and polysiloxane coatings exhibit greater durability against salt mist and UV-humidity exposure compared to the 3-layer paint system with fluorinated polymer coatings.
- The results of natural testing of 3-layer paint systems on a double-bottom steel-hulled ship model in Vung Oan, Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province showed that the 3-layer paint systems with vinyl ester and polysiloxane coatings exhibited low levels of biofouling, with minimal or no fouling, and had an antifouling effectiveness lasting over 18 months (up to the end of December 2023), which is better than the 3-layer paint systems with fluorinated polymer coatings. The 3-layer paint systems with vinyl ester resin coatings, demonstrating antifouling effectiveness for up to 21 months (until the end of March 2024), show promise as marine paints with potential for extended antifouling performance.
b. Research and Development of Solar Heat Reflective, Waterproof, and Highly Weather-Resistant Coatings
- A variety of additives have been synthesized for heat-reflective, waterproof, and weather-resistant coating systems, including nano additives such as BaSO₄, TiO₂, ZrO₂, CaSiO₃, CaCO₃, CaSO₄, and nanocarriers like SiO₂@Ce³⁺, Fe₂O₃@Ce³⁺, ZnO@Ce³⁺, CeO₂-SiO₂, CeO₂-Fe₂O₃, and CeO₂-Fe₂O₃-SiO₂. The results indicate that the size of these additives ranges from 15 to 40 nm, with fairly uniform particles and an organic content of approximately 5-25%. Phase transitions have been successfully achieved using methods such as ligand exchange, amphiphilic polymer usage, or silanization reactions to modify the surface of the additives for compatibility with water-based paints.
 - Successfully manufactured a heat-reflective, weather-resistant exterior wall paint system for construction projects, designed for wall surfaces and reinforced concrete, based on acrylic emulsion resin and incorporating micro- and nano-sized heat-reflective inorganic particles:
+ The composition and proportion of SiO₂ nanoparticles in the alkali-resistant primer have been determined. With an inclusion of approximately 2.5% by mass of SiO₂ nanoparticles, the alkali resistance of the primer film has been significantly increased.
+ The composition and proportion of the coating components were determined. Results of the evaluation of micro- and nano-sized heat-reflecting inorganic additives (hollow microspheres, TiO₂, BaSO₄, ZrO₂, CaSiO₃) on UV-Vis-NIR reflectivity indicated that nano-TiO₂ is the most effective heat-reflecting additive. The optimal content of nano-TiO₂ in the paint film is 2%. At this concentration, a paint film with a thickness of 60 µm achieves an average reflectivity of approximately 90-91% in the wavelength range λ = 700-1400 nm. 
+ The optimal tinting content for solar heat reflective paint film has been determined. AXX yellow tinting achieves high reflectivity of over 80%. Other tinting colors can be mixed into the heat reflective paint at a mass ratio of 10-20% relative to the mass of white paint, while still maintaining a reflectivity of over 80%. 
+ The heat-reflective, weather-resistant exterior wall paint system can reduce the concrete surface temperature by approximately 9.5°C with white color and by 7-8°C with other colors. It also lowers the air temperature in the simulation test chamber by about 4.5°C with white color and by 3-3.7°C with other colors, compared to the unpainted test chamber. 
- A roof waterproofing paint system with heat-reflective and high-weather-resistance properties has been successfully manufactured. This system, including both primer and topcoat, is based on water-based polyurethane resin and incorporates micro- and nano-sized heat-reflective inorganic particles. Research results demonstrate that the paint film provides excellent waterproofing. A 60 µm thick paint film achieves an average reflectance of approximately 90-91% in the λ = 700-1400 nm range, reduces surface temperature by 9.12°C, and lowers the air temperature in the test chamber by 4.21°C compared to the test chamber without paint.
- Successfully manufactured an organic solvent-based paint system that offers anti-corrosion protection, heat reflection, and high weather resistance. This system includes both primer and topcoat and features heat-reflective inorganic particle additives:
+ The effect of nanocarrier@Ce³⁺ particles on the properties and corrosion resistance of epoxy-based primer films was evaluated. The results indicated that the paint film containing 1.5% SiO₂ particles modified with Ce³⁺ exhibited the best properties and highest corrosion resistance. After 30 days of immersion in NaCl solution, the total resistance of the paint film remained high, at 2.108 Ω·cm-².
+ The composition of the polyurethane-based coating was determined. The coating film had a thickness of 60 µm and a reflectivity of 90.16% in the region λ = 700-1400 nm.
+ The organic solvent paint system offers anti-corrosion protection, heat reflection, and high weather resistance. It can reduce surface temperatures by up to 19.31°C and air temperatures in the test tank by 15.75°C. 
- The weather resistance of the paint films was determined by an accelerated weathering test. The results showed that after 1560 hours of testing, FE-SEM analysis revealed that although the paint film surface was eroded, forming micro-grooves, these defects could not be observed by the naked eye. The paint film containing nanoparticles exhibited chalking at level 2. The reflectance decreased slightly by about 2%. The color reduced the heat reflectance and cooling efficiency but slightly increased the weather resistance. The addition of TiO2 and SiO2 nanoparticles to the coating formulation significantly improved the paint’s properties, including reflectance, cooling insulation performance, and weather resistance.
c. Research and development of environmentally organic coatings
- Synthetized and modified several nanocomposites as CNT, nanoclay, nanocly/metallic oxide, GO and SiO2-polypyrrole as pigment in anticorrrosion protective coatings. The results obtained when CT3 steel substrate immersed in the electrolyte solution containing GO-PPy showed that the current corrosion density was decreased and the corrsion potential was deplaced towards more positive. The PU coating containing SiO2@Ce3+ nanoparticles showed a good resistance against UV while SiO2/Ppy nanocomposites help to increase the corrosion resistance of epoxy coating.ong khi nanocompozit SiO2/PPy có tác dụng làm tăng độ bền chống ăn mòn cho màng epoxy. 
- 08 nanocomposites were selectively developed (based on No.1 component, commercial nanoproducts and self-synthetized nanopigments) in order to research the reinforcement effect in epoxy and polyurethane resins. The results showed that the anticorrosion properties, the adhesion behavior and the resistance against cathodic disbondment of epoxy coating were significantly increased in the presence of experimental nanopigments. The UV resistance, the water resistance of nanopartilces -based PU coatings were also reinforced. The optimal content of nanopigments in organic coatings varied from 0,1 – 3 % (depending on the type of nanoparticles).

Recommendations

After the implementation of the project, we would like to propose the following recommendations:
+ The project was implemented on schedule and successfully achieved the set goals. Some outcomes exceeded the expectations described in the proposal. The project leader respectfully requests the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to approve the acceptance of the project.
+ Research on creating advanced, functional coatings has significant scientific meaning and great potential for practical application, especially under the current complex climate change conditions. The functional coatings developed by the project have met the scientific and technical criteria (S&T) outlined in the proposal, mainly following the issued TCVN standards. However, some key paint products with high application potential, promising great economic and social benefits, such as heat-reflective paint, antifouling and microbial corrosion-resistant paint, thermal spray systems, etc., need continued investment in research, development, and quality improvement to meet stringent requirements and compete with high-end paints worldwide.
+ Currently, many water-based paint products are increasingly favored and gradually replacing solvent-based paints, as they reduce the risk of environmental pollution and lower toxicity during manufacturing and use.
+ Therefore, the research team respectfully requests the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology to focus on developing this research direction into one of the Academy's strong research areas. We hope to continue receiving investment for research and development, improving product quality, conducting pilot-scale production trials, and commercializing products in the near future.
