Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a preparation method of a hydrophobic coating, and particularly to a preparation method of a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating for recycled fiber from waste paper. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, the icing phenomenon caused by severe weather seriously threatens the safety of materials in fields such as power facilities and aerospace. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the anti-icing ability of the material surface. Traditional anti-icing methods (such as manual de-icing, heating de-icing, and chemical snow melting agents) have problems such as high energy consumption and large environmental pollution. Superhydrophobic coatings have attracted the interest of many researchers due to their superhydrophobic properties on the surface, and provide innovative ideas for the research on anti-icing of material surfaces.
[0003] The anti-icing mechanism of superhydrophobic coatings mainly depends on the synergistic effect of their micro-nano rough structure and low surface energy components. The micro-nano structure can intercept the air layer, reduce the solid-liquid contact area, and delay the freezing of droplets; the low surface energy components promote the contraction of droplets and reduce the accumulation of surface water films, thereby reducing the ice layer adhesion. However, existing superhydrophobic coatings generally have problems such as poor mechanical stability and easy wear of the micro-nano structure, which limit their practical applications. Although some studies have improved the coating durability by adding adhesive layers or repair agents, most are limited to two-dimensional surface modification and have not fundamentally solved the contradiction between structural stability and functional durability. Therefore, developing a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating with low cost, high stability, and easy large-scale preparation has important scientific significance and application value. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating for recycled fiber from waste paper. This method recycles waste paper and gives it a new use way, reduces the cost of superhydrophobic materials, and prepares a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating by a simple one-step spraying method, greatly improving the hydrophobic and anti-icing performance of the coating, which is beneficial to reducing the corrosion and damage of materials caused by icing and has great application value.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A preparation method of a superhydrophobic anti-icing coating for recycled fiber from waste paper, the method comprising the following steps: (1) Soak the recycled waste paper in a NaOH solution, stir, centrifuge and dry to obtain cellulose powder, and further crush the cellulose using a planetary ball mill to prepare nano-scale cellulose powder; (2) Add nano - cellulose powder into the Tris - HCl buffer solution mixed with dopamine hydrochloride, stir at room temperature for 12 hours, and obtain P@F powder through centrifugation, washing, and freeze - drying. Add P@F powder, p - phenylenediamine, and 1,3,5 - benzenetricarboxaldehyde into 1,4 - dioxane, mix evenly, add acetic acid, stir for 1 hour, and obtain CP@F powder through centrifugation, washing, and drying. Add CP@F powder and octadecylamine into absolute ethanol, mix evenly, stir for 24 hours, and prepare OA - CP@F powder through centrifugation, washing, and drying. (3) Disperse OA - CP@F powder, epoxy resin, and curing agent in a solvent, spray evenly onto the surface of the substrate, and heat - cure to obtain a super - hydrophobic anti - icing coating.
[0006] In the preparation method of the waste - paper recycled fiber super - hydrophobic anti - icing coating described above, in step (1), the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.15 - 0.25 mol / L, preferably 0.2 mol / L; the stirring time is 10 - 16 hours, preferably 12 hours; the grinding time is 6 - 10 hours, preferably 8 hours.
[0007] In the preparation method of the waste - paper recycled fiber super - hydrophobic anti - icing coating described above, in step (2), the mass ratio x:y:z of OA - CP@F powder, epoxy resin, and curing agent is (60 - 140):100:(25 - 50), preferably 100:100:33.
[0008] In the preparation method of the waste - paper recycled fiber super - hydrophobic anti - icing coating described above, in step (3), the curing agent is polyetheramine D230, polyetheramine D400, polyetheramine D2000, phthalic anhydride, isophorone diamine, preferably polyetheramine D230; the solvent is ethyl acetate, xylene, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran, preferably tetrahydrofuran; the spray gun pressure is 0.1 - 0.5 MPa, the distance between the spray gun and the substrate is 5 - 20 cm, preferably 0.1 Mpa and the distance is 10 cm; the coating thickness is 50 - 500 μm, preferably 200 μm; the substrate is Q - 235 steel, glass, aluminum plate, preferably Q - 235 steel; heat - cure at 45 - 80 °C for 20 - 30 hours, preferably heat at 60 °C and cure for 24 h.
[0009] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: Waste - paper resource utilization and low - cost preparation The method of the present invention first converts waste paper into a nano - cellulose substrate, and realizes the efficient extraction and nano - sizing of cellulose through an alkali treatment - ball - milling process, which can significantly reduce the raw material cost and provide a new way for the large - scale production of biomass - based super - hydrophobic coatings.
[0010] 2. Multi - level modification and surface energy gradient design A multi-level modification process using dopamine hydrochloride coating, in-situ growth of covalent organic framework (COF), and modification with long-chain alkylamine (octadecylamine) was employed to construct a synergistic system of "micro-nano rough structure + low surface energy chemical groups", with a contact angle exceeding 150° and low ice adhesion, breaking through the bottleneck that it is difficult to balance the mechanical stability and hydrophobicity of traditional coatings.
[0011] 3. Anti-icing performance and engineering application advantages Ice crystals on the coating surface grow in the form of loose frost ice, and the icing time is extended to 358 s (-20°C). The ice layer can spontaneously fall off under natural conditions, which is applicable to the surfaces of power cables, drone wings, and transportation facilities, and can significantly reduce the corrosion risk and maintenance cost caused by icing.
