Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] One of the most direct, effective and relatively economical methods for preventing and controlling marine biofouling is to apply various types of antifouling coatings. However, most of the traditional dominant antifouling technologies are based on self-polishing antifouling coatings of zinc polyacrylate, copper or silane ester, which have achieved relatively ideal antifouling effects. However, they have exposed many problems affecting the development of marine antifouling coatings and marine environmental protection, which hinder the further development of marine antifouling coatings. For example, the traditional metal antifouling agent has a high content (Cu2O≥40%), an unstable release and an unsatisfactory antifouling effect, and also shows toxicity to organisms; the self-polishing antifouling resin prepared from traditional polyacrylate and epoxy resin has a permanent covalent bond in the main chain and is generally non-degradable or broken into microplastic particles and long-term exists in the marine environment, which brings serious microplastic pollution and biological chain crisis; the molecular composition and structure of the general antifouling paint are quite different from those of the epoxy resin in the primer, the interlayer adhesion is poor, and the antifouling coating has defects such as short effective time, unsatisfactory antifouling effect and the like; the promising antifouling market is waiting for development. Therefore, it is particularly important to independently develop a degradable epoxy resin-based marine antifouling coating with good compatibility with the primer layer. At the same time, due to the higher requirements of the international community for green environmental protection and sustainable development of epoxy resin, it has become one of the very important development directions to explore the greenization and sustainability of degradable epoxy resin for marine antifouling.

[0003] The existing linear polyester-based coatings cannot be applied in the strong wet and high salt marine environment, and also cannot be well interfacially compatible with the primer, so it is an urgent problem to provide a marine antifouling coating with the functions of protection and self-polishing antifouling.

[0084] The present application prepares non-ionic water-soluble dicarboxylic acid compounds containing rigid pyrrolidone ring by Michael addition reaction and dehydration cyclization based on the amino group on various amino acids and the carbon-carbon double bond on the structure of itaconic acid, and prepares a series of bio-based epoxy resin precursors by epoxidation. After curing the epoxy resin precursors with different epoxy curing agents and / or accelerators, a series of bio-based degradable marine antifouling coatings are obtained. Due to the compact three-dimensional cross-linked network structure of these bio-based degradable marine antifouling coatings, the progress of seawater corrosion can be slowed down in the strong wet and high salt marine environment, and excellent thermodynamic properties and protective properties as well as strong adhesion with epoxy primer are provided, prolonging the service time and protecting the primer. At the same time, a large number of pyrrolidone and ester structures are contained in the cross-linked network, among which the pyrrolidone structure is easy to open ring in alkaline environment, and a large number of hydrophilic glyceride structures also exist in the epoxy resin, which can promote the degradation of ester bond by improving hydrophilicity and affecting the electron cloud density of adjacent ester bond. However, the degradation behavior only occurs on the surface of the coating during the erosion process and cannot penetrate into the interior of the cross-linked network, so that the antifouling coating can perform slow self-polishing antifouling behavior and degradation into small molecules in weak alkaline seawater environment. The present application combines the compact three-dimensional cross-linked network and the degradable pyrrolidone ring and ester structure, and achieves the purpose of combining protection and self-polishing antifouling functions. At the same time, it has the advantages of low processing viscosity, excellent interlayer adhesion and heat resistance, etc., and has potential practical application value in the field of marine antifouling.

[0085] The biobased epoxy resin precursor contains a large number of pyrrolidone rings and ester groups, and the biobased degradable marine antifouling coating based on the precursor has improved thermodynamic performance, degradation performance and self-polishing performance in seawater compared with traditional epoxy resins. The biobased degradable marine antifouling coating has a compact and compact network structure, which can provide excellent thermodynamic performance and protective performance. In addition, the epoxy resin has the advantages of antifouling coating: the solubility parameter of the epoxy primer is close to that of the epoxy resin, so the adhesion is strong due to strong diffusion. At the same time, the cross-linked network contains a large number of pyrrolidone and ester groups. The pyrrolidone structure is prone to ring opening in an alkaline environment, and a large number of hydrophilic glyceride structures exist in the epoxy resin. By improving the hydrophilicity of the epoxy resin and affecting the electron cloud density of the adjacent ester bond, the degradation of the ester bond is promoted. However, the degradation behavior only occurs on the surface of the coating during the erosion process and cannot penetrate into the cross-linked network, thereby enabling the antifouling coating to slowly self-polish and degrade into small molecules in a weakly alkaline seawater environment. Especially the self-polishing performance and complete degradation characteristics in seawater can be used as a candidate for self-polishing marine antifouling coatings. Due to the difference in R in the structure, the glass transition temperature, heat resistance and degradation performance also have great differences. R includes a side group or no side group, the side group substituent group contains a benzene ring or more than one methyl group, and the cured epoxy resin cured product has good glass transition temperature and heat resistance. The non-side group substituent group has good self-polishing performance and degradation performance.

[0086] Another aspect of the embodiment of the present application also provides a marine antifouling method, which comprises: applying the biobased degradable marine antifouling coating to the surface of the substrate and curing to form a coating.

[0090] The yield of the biobased epoxy resin precursor is calculated by the following formula:

[0180] The 1-carboxymethyl pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (IG) obtained in Example 1 was prepared into a polyester system containing a pyrrolidone structure by polycondensation reaction with a diol. It was found in actual application that the polyester system containing a pyrrolidone structure could not be processed into a coating by coating, and had no good interfacial compatibility with the epoxy primer, and at the same time, in the real sea hanging plate experiment, the polyester system was easy to peel off, and could not be applied to the marine self-polishing coating.

[0181] In addition, the inventors of the present application have also carried out tests with reference to the aforementioned examples, other raw materials, process operations and process conditions described in the present specification, and all have obtained relatively ideal results.

[0182] It should be understood that the technical solutions of the present application are not limited to the specific implementation cases described above, and any technical modification made according to the technical solutions of the present application without departing from the purpose of the present application and the scope protected by the claims falls within the protection scope of the present application.
