Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material surface modification, and specifically discloses a method for preparing a polymer superhydrophobic surface and the product thereof. Background Technology
[0002] Superhydrophobic surfaces, with their static water contact angle greater than 150° and roll-off angle less than 10°, exhibit enormous application potential in fields such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, and biomedicine. Their core principle lies in the synergistic effect of surface micro / nano structures and low surface energy materials. The micro-rough structure traps air to form an air film, reducing the contact area between the liquid and solid, while the low surface energy material reduces the adhesion between the liquid and the surface, making water droplets easier to roll off.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream technologies for preparing polymer superhydrophobic surfaces mainly include: template method, etching method, phase separation method, electrospinning method, sol-gel method, etc. However, these methods generally face the following bottlenecks during industrial scale-up: 1. Complex process and high cost: Laser etching and deep silicon etching require expensive equipment and have low processing speed (<100cm² / min), making it difficult to meet the large-area requirements of bathroom fixtures, automotive interiors, etc.; Sol-gel method requires high-temperature sintering or long-term aging, which has high energy consumption and long process; Electrospinning can build nanofiber networks, but the production efficiency is low, the fiber layer has weak bonding force with the substrate, and poor mechanical durability.
[0004] 2. The microstructure is easily damaged and has poor durability: The roughness of a single micron structure or a relatively fragile nano-coating will decrease sharply after sandpaper abrasion, tape peeling or water erosion, causing the static water contact angle to decrease rapidly from >150° to <130°, thus losing its superhydrophobic properties.
[0005] 3. Short mold life and difficult demolding: Traditional template imprinting uses silicon-based micropillar arrays or anodized aluminum templates, which are costly and require external force to peel off during demolding. This can easily cause micropillars to break or polymers to stick to the mold, resulting in a reduced yield.
[0006] 4. Limited material system: Most current research on preparation technology is limited to rigid substrates such as silicon wafers and glass, which are not adaptable to thermoplastic polymers (PE, PP, PC, PA6, etc.) and are difficult to process uniformly on complex curved surfaces (curved surfaces of toilet seats, rims of washbasins).
[0007] 5. Poor controllability: Chemical etching uses strong acid or strong alkali solutions to corrode the polymer surface to form roughness, but the process is heavily polluted, the structure is poorly controllable, and it damages the mechanical properties of the material itself; Phase separation relies on solvent evaporation to induce phase change to form a porous structure, but the pore distribution is random, the hydrophobicity is not repeatable, and it is difficult to accurately control the roughness level.
[0008] Patent CN101851069A, entitled "A Method for Preparing a Polymer Superhydrophobic Surface Using a Screen Template," specifically discloses a method of hot-pressing a metal wire or high-temperature resistant plastic wire screen of a specific mesh size onto the polymer surface in a viscous flow state, followed by peeling off the screen at a temperature below the viscous flow temperature. This replicates micron-sized pits or protrusions on the polymer surface, thereby obtaining superhydrophobic properties. However, the single micron-sized structure obtained by this method is difficult to maintain stable superhydrophobic properties. Patent CN117584470A, entitled "A Processing Method for a Polymer Superhydrophobic Surface," specifically discloses a photocuring-based method for processing polymer superhydrophobic surfaces. This method involves designing a micropillar array pattern on a chrome-plated glass plate, combined with gelatin filling and diffuse ultraviolet light curing, to form a mushroom-shaped superhydrophobic structure on the top of the micropillars. This method relies on precision photolithography equipment and a multi-step, relatively complex process, and does not involve surface mechanical durability enhancement design. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies for preparing polymer superhydrophobic surfaces, this invention provides a method and product for preparing polymer superhydrophobic surfaces, thereby obtaining polymer superhydrophobic surfaces with excellent mechanical properties and stable graded roughness.
[0010] To achieve this objective, the following solution is provided: This invention provides a method for preparing a polymer superhydrophobic surface, comprising the following steps: (1) Substrate pretreatment: The polymer substrate and stainless steel mesh are ultrasonically cleaned with anhydrous ethanol for 10 min, dried at 60℃, and then uniformly sprayed with 200 fluorine-based release agent. (2) One-time hot pressing: The treated polymer substrate and stainless steel mesh are stacked and hot pressed to form a micron-level raised structure surface; (3) Preparation of nano-dispersion: Hydrophobic nanoparticles and polyvinylpyrrolidone are dispersed in ethanol and ultrasonically treated to form a uniform dispersion; (4) Secondary hot pressing: The obtained dispersion is coated on the surface of the micron-level protruding structure, dried and then hot pressed to embed the nanoparticles into the polymer and form a graded roughness superhydrophobic surface.
[0011] Preferably, the stainless steel mesh in step (1) has a mesh count of 100 to 800; the polymer is a thermoplastic polymer selected from at least one of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), and nylon (PA6).
[0012] Preferably, the parameters for the first hot stamping in step (2) are: pressure 6~10 MPa, temperature 120~200℃, and time 0~3s.
[0013] Preferably, the hydrophobic nanoparticles in step (3) are selected from one or more of PTFE, SiO2, TiO2, ZnO, ZrO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3; the concentration of nanoparticles in the dispersion is 5~20 mg / mL.
[0014] Preferably, the secondary hot pressing parameters in step (4) are: pressure 100~400 kPa, temperature 120~170℃, and time 0~5 s.
[0015] This invention provides a polymer superhydrophobic surface prepared according to the above preparation method.
[0016] Preferably, the polymer superhydrophobic surface has a hierarchical rough structure composed of micron-sized protrusions and embedded nanoparticles.
[0017] The present invention also provides a method for using polymer superhydrophobic surfaces to manufacture bathroom fixture surfaces, including toilet seats, sinks, or bathroom tissue boxes.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention utilizes a stainless steel mesh to form a micron-scale protruding structure through a single hot-pressing process. This is followed by coating with a nano-dispersion liquid and a second low-temperature hot-pressing process, allowing hydrophobic nanoparticles to deeply embed into a polymer matrix. This constructs a micron-nano graded rough surface, where the gaps between the nanoparticles form an "air cushion" and impart low surface energy to the material. This graded rough structure, after uniform spraying with a fluorinated release agent, exhibits synergistic effects, significantly reducing surface energy while enhancing air film stability. This achieves superhydrophobic properties with a contact angle ≥156° and a roll-off angle ≤5°, greatly solving the industry problem of excessively high roll-off angles (>25°) for single micron-scale structures.
[0019] 2. The nanoparticles in this invention are "anchored" inside the polymer matrix through secondary hot pressing, rather than simply adhering to the surface. This significantly improves their wear resistance. After 500 cycles of wear with 200 g load of 600# sandpaper, the contact angle attenuation rate is less than 10%. The lifespan is improved compared to the traditional screen template method, meeting the needs of bathroom equipment that requires high-frequency friction and achieving a breakthrough in mechanical durability.
[0020] 3. The process of this invention uses inexpensive stainless steel mesh instead of precision molds. The total time for two hot pressing operations is less than 10 seconds. It eliminates the need for complex processes such as photolithography, plasma treatment, or gelatin filling, resulting in low production costs, minimal equipment requirements, and no harm to humans or the environment. This preparation method is compatible with general-purpose plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon. The surface morphology can be precisely controlled by adjusting the mesh count of the stainless steel mesh and the concentration of nanoparticles. Furthermore, the embedding of composite nanoparticles can expand the anti-fouling and antibacterial functions, providing novel solutions for medical devices and other fields.

Fluorine-based release agent was evenly sprayed onto the surface of the PP substrate and the stainless steel mesh using a spray gun and allowed to stand at room temperature for 3 min. (2) One-time hot pressing: Align the PP substrate with the stainless steel mesh and place it on the hot press workbench; set the hot pressing parameters: temperature 170℃, pressure 10 MPa, holding time 3 s.

[0036] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example provides a method for preparing a single micron-structured surface without nanoparticles, the steps of which are as follows: In this comparative example, the method for preparing the PP surface with micron-level protrusion structure is the same as steps (1)-(2) of Example 1 above, and will not be repeated here.

The results show that the static water contact angle of this single micron-structured surface is 150°, and the roll-off angle is 25°. After 50 abrasions with sandpaper, the contact angle drops to 90°, and the superhydrophobicity is lost. The comparison demonstrates that nanoparticle embedding plays a key role in mechanical durability.
[0038] Those skilled in the art can prepare a thermoplastic polymer PC and ZnO, ZrO2, and Fe2O3 nanoparticles individually or in any proportion according to the preparation methods described in Examples 1-6. The resulting ethanol dispersion is prepared at a concentration of 5-20 mg / mL and then embedded into the polymer surface via a secondary hot-pressing process. The resulting surface exhibits a static water contact angle ≥156°, a roll-off angle ≤5°, and a contact angle attenuation rate <10% after 500 cycles of rubbing with 200 g of 600# sandpaper, indicating that ZnO, ZrO2, Fe2O3, and their composite systems can all achieve the superhydrophobic properties described in this invention.
