Decoration of ceramic products using inkjet technology by means of UV-curable inks entails an extensive research of different adhesion promoters and top-coat formulations in order to assure an appropriate durability of the products developed. At the RadTech Conference and Exhibition (18 20 October 2011, Basel, Switzerland) Jorge González from Instituto de Technologia Cerámica, Spain, will present latest developments on the decorative ceramic surfaces using UV-curable adhesion promoters and nanocomposites coatings. The work is focused on the development of an adhesion promoter crosslinked with UV radiation used on ceramic surfaces to allow a suitable anchorage of the decoration. The formulation of different UV top-coats using nanoparticles of silica or aluminum was also investigated in order to improve the scratch and wear behaviour of the nanocomposites obtained.
