Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of preparation methods of epoxy composite coatings, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of an environmentally-friendly CN@GO@LAA@Cu intumescent fireproof coating. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the construction industry, steel structures are widely used due to their excellent properties. Although steel structures are not flammable, their mechanical properties will decrease sharply with the increase of temperature. When the temperature of steel exceeds 500℃, the bare steel structure will collapse within 15 minutes due to mechanical property failure. Therefore, in order to meet the increasingly stringent fire safety and environmental protection requirements, water-based intumescent fireproof coatings are usually applied on the surface of steel structures to protect the steel structures. Water-based intumescent fireproof coatings are usually composed of film-forming substances, acid sources, carbon sources and gas sources, with water as the solvent. In the event of a fire, they will interact to form a honeycomb-like porous expanded carbon layer. This expanded carbon layer can effectively block the transfer of heat and flammable gases, thereby delaying the temperature rise of the steel structure and gaining valuable rescue and escape time. However, water-based intumescent fireproof coatings still have defects such as uneven expansion, low carbon layer strength and poor oxidation resistance. Adding inorganic fillers to the intumescent system can improve these defects of the expanded carbon layer, affect its expansion behavior and foam structure, and effectively improve the expansion and carbon layer strength of the fireproof coating, thereby enhancing the fireproof performance. Graphitic carbon nitride (CN) and graphene oxide (GO) have great specific surface area and good physical barrier properties as two-dimensional nanomaterials, and have great potential as flame retardants. Therefore, we designed a simple and green self-assembly method to prepare an environmentally-friendly fireproof coating based on graphitic carbon nitride and graphene oxide. L-ascorbic acid and Cu 2+ two functional molecules and ions enhance the flame retardancy of the two-dimensional / two-dimensional network of graphitic carbon nitride and graphene oxide. Here, graphitic carbon nitride and graphene oxide can act as a flame-retardant barrier to block heat and volatile substances; L-ascorbic acid has reducing properties and can promote the thermal reduction of graphene oxide to form reduced graphene oxide with higher thermal stability, further adsorbing and capturing volatile substances; Cu 2+ can form CuO and Cu2O as active catalytic sites at high temperatures to promote carbonization and redox reactions of decomposition products and accelerate the formation of an expanded carbon layer. The synergistic effect of the environmentally-friendly flame retardants CN@GO@LAA@Cu between the components is used to improve the expansion and carbon layer strength of the water-based intumescent fireproof coating, thereby enhancing the fireproof performance of the water-based intumescent fireproof coating.

Then, apply the uniformly dispersed system to the surface of a steel sheet. After the coating is completed, cure at room temperature for 7 days to obtain the environmentally friendly CN@GO@LAA@Cu intumescent fire retardant coating.
[0032] This embodiment demonstrates the experimental analysis results related to the preparation method of the environmentally friendly CN@GO@LAA@Cu intumescent fire-retardant coating proposed in this paper.
[0033] Water-based intumescent fire retardant coatings CN / EP, CN@GO / EP, CN@GO@LAA, and CN@GO@LAA@Cu and 98g of base material were prepared respectively. Pure epoxy resin (EP) was used as a control. The fire retardant coatings were applied to sandblasted steel sheets and cured at room temperature for 7 days to obtain test samples.
[0034] (1) The morphology of CN, CN@GO, CN@GO@LAA and CN@GO@LAA@Cu nanohybrids was observed using a JEOL JEM-2100 high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 1 .from Figure 1 As can be seen in A and E, CN exhibits a rough, sheet-like structure. After being combined with graphene oxide ( Figure 1 B and F)) can be observed to reveal rough carbon nitride sheets and graphene oxide sheets exhibiting a typical wrinkled structure. After modification with L-ascorbic acid and copper ions ( Figure 1 C and G) and ( Figure 1 D and H)) showed no significant changes on the material surface. To further investigate the copper ion loading, we performed elemental surface scans on the CN@GO@LAA@Cu hybrid material using a JSM-7500F scanning electron microscope, such as Figure 1 As shown in I, J, K, and L. The elemental scan results show that CN@GO@LAA@Cu is composed of C, N, O, and Cu elements, which are uniformly distributed on the surface of the hybrid material. The uniform distribution of Cu elements indicates uniform loading of copper ions, suggesting the successful synthesis of the CN@GO@LAA@Cu hybrid material.
[0035] (2) The cross-sectional morphology of each fire-retardant coating was observed using a JSM-7500F scanning electron microscope. The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 2 .like Figure 2 As shown in Figure A, the fracture surface of pure EP was observed to be relatively smooth. When 2.0 wt% graphitic carbon nitride was added ( Figure 2B) Agglomeration and pores were observed on the fracture surface, indicating that the original graphitic carbon nitride phase had poor dispersion and weak interaction with the epoxy resin. After modification with graphene oxide ( Figure 2 C) The dispersibility of CN@GO is significantly improved, with only small pores remaining on the fracture surface. L-ascorbic acid and Cu are introduced onto the surface. 2+ Subsequently, it was observed that CN@GO@LAA and CN@GO@LAA@Cu exhibited good dispersion in the matrix, and CN@GO@LAA / EP ( Figure 2 D) and CN@GO@LAA@Cu / EP( Figure 2 E) Both exhibit rough and uneven wrinkled surfaces, indicating a strong interfacial interaction between the two fillers and the polymer.
[0036] (3) The fire-retardant performance of the coating was tested by measuring the temperature on the back of the steel plate using the large plate method. The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 3 .from Figure 3 It can be seen that the water-based intumescent fire retardant coating containing CN@GO@LAA@Cu nano-hybrid materials has the lowest temperature on the back of the steel plate, which is 40.7% lower than that of pure EP. This indicates that CN@GO@LAA@Cu can effectively improve the strength and barrier function of the char layer, thereby effectively slowing down the temperature rise on the back of the steel plate and improving the fire resistance performance.
[0037] (4) The expansion behavior of the water-based intumescent fire retardant coating was studied through furnace testing. The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 4 .from Figure 4 As can be seen from A, pure EP expands unevenly with an extremely low expansion height. After adding flame-retardant filler, the expansion height increases somewhat. Figure 4 BE). It is worth noting that, compared to pure EP, CN@GO@LAA@Cu / EP ( Figure 4 E) The expansion height increased by 298.3%, and the coating expanded uniformly, with a dense and homogeneous carbon layer, which is beneficial for blocking heat and combustible gases.
[0038] (5) The structure of the carbon layer after the large-plate test was tested using a JSM-7500F scanning electron microscope. The results are shown in the appendix. Figure 5 For pure EP ( Figure 5 As can be observed in Figure A, numerous pores and cracks indicate that the carbon layer cannot provide effective protection for the polymer matrix. Significant changes were observed after the addition of filler. CN / EP( Figure 5 B) Reduced porosity and crack size in the carbon layer enhances its barrier properties. CN@GO / EP( Figure 5 C) The cracks in the carbon layer are further reduced, which is attributed to the excellent dispersion of graphitic carbon nitride by graphene oxide, further enhancing its barrier properties. CN@GO@LAA / EP(Figure 5 D) The carbon layer cracks disappear, and only a few small holes exist on the carbon layer surface, because LAA promotes the thermal reduction of GO network, and generates reduced graphene oxide with stronger thermal stability. For CN@GO@LAA@Cu / EP( Figure 5 E), no cracks and holes are found, and the carbon layer is complete and dense, because the generated CuO and Cu2O catalyze the formation of more coke, and the carbon layer strength increases. The dense and complete carbon layer can well resist heat mass transfer and play a barrier role, thereby improving the fireproof performance.
[0039] The preparation method of the environment-friendly CN@GO@LAA@Cu intumescent fireproof coating provided by the application solves the potential dangerous characteristics of low carbon layer strength, uneven expansion and poor fireproof performance of the current water-based fireproof coating, and the obtained water-based intumescent fireproof coating can form a uniform and dense expanded carbon layer at high temperature, block the heat transfer to the steel structure, and play a good protection role. The application is mainly used for steel structure fire protection, and prolongs the time for the steel structure to reach the failure temperature and collapse under fire, thereby gaining valuable rescue time for fire fighting. The water-based intumescent fireproof coating has the advantages of easy availability of raw materials, simple preparation, low cost, water-based environmental protection, and wide industrial application value.
