Three novel UV-curable polysiloxanes consisting of polysiloxane backbone with methacryloxy/fluorinated side groups were synthesized, and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. A series of UV-cured composite coatings based on the synthesized polysiloxanes and an epoxy methacrylate were obtained through photopolymerization. Their gel content, flexibility, hardness, gloss, contact angle, thermal behavior as well as water absorption ratio were investigated. Results found that the siloxane component could enhance the flexibility and gloss of coatings, while the presence of fluorinated groups could improve the hardness. The combination of silicon and fluorine in the same polymer could increase thermal stability and water resistance of the coatings and decrease their surface energy simultaneously. The observation of the fractured-surface morphology showed that the polysiloxanes could be well dispersed in the epoxy methacrylate to some extent. A suitable addition of such polysiloxane in photocurable coating matrixes may provide excellent properties for the cured coatings and widen their applications.
