Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of super-hydrophobic coating materials, and particularly relates to an environmentally-friendly fluorine-free super-hydrophobic coating material and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of material protection, super-hydrophobic coatings have become a key protection scheme in high-end fields such as aerospace, deep-sea equipment and energy facilities due to their unique self-cleaning, anti-icing, anti-corrosion and anti-rust core characteristics. Such coatings can achieve a super-hydrophobic state with a liquid contact angle of > 150° by constructing a special surface structure, which can effectively resist liquid erosion, reduce surface contamination and significantly prolong the service life of equipment. However, the current mainstream super-hydrophobic coating technology still faces three major industry bottlenecks that need to be broken through in practical applications, which seriously restricts its large-scale promotion.

[0003] Existing technologies generally rely on perfluorinated compounds (such as perfluorooctane sulfonate PFOS and perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA) to construct low-surface-energy surfaces. Such substances have strong bioaccumulation and environmental persistence, and can still be enriched through the food chain even at trace concentrations, posing a potential threat to ecosystems and human health, and have been listed in the control list of persistent organic pollutants by many countries. This development model of “function realization at the expense of the environment” is in sharp contradiction with the development concept of global green manufacturing. The core of super-hydrophobic performance relies on the synergistic effect of micro-nano rough structure and low-surface-energy substances, but mechanical wear can easily damage this delicate structure, leading to irreversible decay of hydrophobicity. Traditional self-healing coatings mostly use a single repair mechanism (such as hydrogen bond recombination and dynamic coordination bond reconstruction), which can only deal with molecular-level micro-damage and completely fails in the face of deep scratches or large-area wear, greatly shortening the actual service period of the coating. To improve wear resistance, existing solutions often introduce rigid reinforcing phases such as SiO2 and TiO2, but there is a serious interface compatibility problem between these inorganic microparticles and the organic polymer matrix, which can easily form stress concentration points under cyclic stress, leading to microsphere detachment or coating cracking.

[0004] CN 103409028A prepared a photocatalytic self-healing super-hydrophobic coating and a preparation method thereof. The coating prepared by using hydrophobically modified nanoparticles, photocatalytic nanoparticles and low-surface-energy substances containing active groups can realize self-repairing of the surface structure under UV irradiation after wear. However, due to the uncontrollability of UV irradiation crosslinking, self-repairing may be only one-time, and the durability of the super-hydrophobic coating is still difficult to solve.

[0005] Therefore, it is an important problem to be solved in the field to provide a fluorine-free super-hydrophobic coating material with good self-repairing performance. SUMMARY

[0201] Abrasion resistance test: A 500g weight was used to press the superhydrophobic coatings prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7 onto 600-grit sandpaper. The friction distance was fixed at 20cm each time, which was recorded as one cycle. After 100 cycles, the water contact angle was tested.

[0202] Self-healing test: Scratches of the same length were made on the superhydrophobic coatings prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-7, respectively, and they were placed in an environment of 70°C for treatment. The self-healing time was recorded. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0204]

[0205]

[0206] According to the test results in Table 1, it can be observed that Examples 1 to 5 of the present invention have good superhydrophobicity, self-healing properties and wear resistance, while the coatings prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 7 have reduced performance.

[0207] The performance degradation in Comparative Example 1 may be due to the absence of dynamic borate ester bonds and catechol structures, preventing self-healing; the absence of dynamic borate ester bonds may affect its stress dissipation capacity, thus impacting the coating's wear resistance. The performance degradation in Comparative Example 2 may be due to the modified polyurethane lacking a hyperbranched structure, affecting the coating's elasticity and flexibility, leading to decreased wear resistance; reduced molecular chain mobility may prolong the self-healing time. The performance degradation in Comparative Example 3 may be due to the multi-level microspheres not being treated with octadecyl phosphate. Octadecyl phosphate provides low surface energy, and its absence leads to a sharp drop in the water contact angle; high surface energy makes it easier for water to penetrate microcracks, accelerating coating failure and affecting its wear resistance. The performance degradation in Comparative Example 4 may be due to the failure to convert zinc oxide to zinc sulfide. Zinc oxide is prone to hydrolysis in humid environments, damaging the surface. The rough structure and decreased water contact angle are the main reasons for the performance degradation in Comparative Example 5. The lack of zinc oxide or zinc sulfide loading on the diatomaceous earth surface, resulting in the absence of a layered rough structure in the multi-level microspheres, relying solely on the polyurethane matrix, leads to a complete loss of superhydrophobicity. The absence of multi-level microsphere reinforcement reduces wear resistance. While dynamic bonds can repair matrix scratches, they cannot establish a hydrophobic surface. The performance degradation in Comparative Example 6 may be due to insufficient multi-level microsphere usage; an insufficient amount makes it difficult to form a continuous air cushion structure, resulting in inadequate protection of the matrix and thus affecting wear resistance. The performance degradation in Comparative Example 7 may be due to excessive multi-level microsphere usage; excessive microspheres hinder polyurethane cross-linking, reducing coating density and significantly decreasing the contact angle after friction. The aggregation of multi-level microspheres becomes stress concentration points, accelerating coating peeling and reducing wear resistance. Cracks propagate at microsphere aggregation points, reducing self-healing efficiency.
