The invention provides UV curable coating compositions comprising a synergistic two-component system of aliphatic urethane acrylate resins. The first component is formed by reacting an aliphatic polyisocyanate containing iminooxadiazine dione, isocyanurate, uretdione, urethane, allophanate, biuret, or oxadiazine trione groups with a hydroxyl-functional acrylate. The second component is formed by reacting a multifunctional acrylate with an aliphatic urethane based on alkyl carbomoncycle diisocyanate. The components combine in specific ratios to create coatings with superior hardness, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and weatherability for automotive applications. Quantifiable structure-property relationships define optimal formulations for specific applications including vehicle headlamp lenses and trim components. Also described are coated articles and methods for their production.

This disclosure provides novel nanocomposites having monomodal, bimodal, and multimodal mineral particles dispersed within the polymer matrix to provide high performance nanocomposite barrier layer(s).
