Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of organic composite materials, and relates to a protective coating, in particular to a protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function in the whole deterioration process and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In coastal engineering, building materials such as concrete and steel structures are corroded by harsh environmental factors, which is the main reason for the premature failure of the structure; corrosion protection can significantly improve the service life and greatly reduce the cost. Common corrosion protection strategies include surface coating, covalent surface chemical modification, corrosion-resistant material corrosion inhibitor, and electrochemical protection. Among them, surface polymer coating has a wide range of applications, good protection effect, and simple operation, and is recognized as the most effective and widely used protection method. Compared with other protection technologies, surface coating protection technology can well block the penetration of corrosive ions in the external environment, and provide excellent corrosion protection by completely isolating the external environment from the protected substrate.

[0003] In surface coating protection technology, epoxy coatings are widely used due to their excellent protection of building materials under harsh conditions, which is due to the excellent properties of epoxy resin materials: mechanical properties, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, chemical stability, etc. However, epoxy resin itself has the disadvantages of poor impact toughness, high brittleness, high internal stress, high repair frequency, and high cost, which makes it unable to meet the high protection standards of harsh environments. Many scholars have conducted modification research on the epoxy matrix to enhance the properties of the epoxy resin to meet more stringent service conditions. However, the existing coating protection technology still has the following unavoidable shortcomings: (1) the mechanical properties of the protective coating are poor, the protection effect cannot meet the demand, the deformation recovery ability under external force is poor, and the application range is limited; (2) the modification and toughening effect of traditional toughening technology cannot meet the expected value, the toughening range is small, and if the epoxy matrix is excessively modified, the mechanical strength, modulus and thermal stability of the epoxy resin system will be reduced. Therefore, how to optimize the mechanical properties of the epoxy coating at the same time is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the existing technology. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the surface coating protection technology in the prior art, the present application provides a protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function in the whole deterioration process and a preparation method. The protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function in the whole deterioration process disclosed by the present application adopts a new idea, introduces a chain extender and an epoxy resin matrix into a polyurethane prepolymer respectively, forms a repairable three-level network structure system, and significantly improves the high-efficiency toughening function; the aforementioned protective coating is applied to the surface of concrete and steel structure, and effective protection under extreme environmental conditions such as corrosion resistance and impact resistance is realized.

[0005] The technical scheme of the present application:

[0006] A method for preparing a protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function throughout the whole deterioration process, comprising the following steps:

[0007] (1) A certain amount of chain extender, polyurethane prepolymer and bisphenol A epoxy resin are weighed according to the molar ratio of 3:2:3; the chain extender is a mixture of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-diisopropanolamine (HDB) and 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)-bis[4-(4-hydroxybutyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborinane] (DPA) according to the molar ratio of 1:1. HDB is introduced as a chain extender to introduce a reversible borate ester bond, and the flexible ethyl segment enhances the flow of the borate ester. DPA, as a chain extender, not only provides N coordination bonds, but also combines with the polyurethane prepolymer to promote the formation of boron-nitrogen coordination bonds. The polyurethane prepolymer is an NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer.

[0008] (2) The chain extender is mixed with the polyurethane prepolymer and reacted at 50-70℃ for 4-5h to fully react the 4-position NCO bond of the polyurethane prepolymer molecular chain. This step increases the chain length and folding of the polyurethane prepolymer by introducing the chain extender into it, and also introduces a self-repairing functional bond to significantly improve its mechanical properties.

[0009] (3) Bisphenol A epoxy resin is added to the system after step (2), heated to 90-120℃, and reacted for 4-5h to react the 2-position NCO bond of the polyurethane prepolymer, obtaining a composite modified epoxy resin, i.e. a protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function throughout the whole deterioration process. By controlling the temperature, the present application ensures that the 2,4-position NCO bonds of the polyurethane prepolymer participate in the reaction at the right time, so that the two end NCO bonds can participate in the chain extension reaction and grafting reaction respectively, and the crosslinking density of the epoxy resin cured product is not affected after toughening in this way.

[0010] The NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by (a) reacting toluene diisocyanate TDI and polyethylene glycol PEG200; or (b) reacting toluene diisocyanate TDI and castor oil. The specific operation of (a) is as follows: polyethylene glycol PEG200 is dehydrated, TDI is added according to the molar ratio of PEG200:TDI=1:1, then stirred at 90-120℃ for 4h to obtain the NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer. The specific operation of (b) is as follows: castor oil is dehydrated, TDI is added according to the molar ratio of castor oil:TDI=1:2.8, then stirred at 90-120℃ for 4h to obtain the NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer.

[0011] The protective coating is prepared by the method as described above. In the protective coating, the 4-position NCO bond of the NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer is combined with the borate bond introduced by the chain extender to form a boron-nitrogen coordination bond; and the 2-position NCO bond of the NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer is combined with the bisphenol A type epoxy resin matrix through a hydroxyl group. The polyurethane prepolymer is synthesized by using a flexible long-chain polyol, the borate bond is introduced by adding a chain extender, and the boron-nitrogen coordination bond (B-N) is formed by adding a nitro compound, thereby forming a secondary network structure. On this basis, the secondary network structure is grafted into the epoxy resin, the proportion of the soft segment in the epoxy resin is significantly increased, the coordination between molecules promotes the formation of a tertiary network structure, and the mechanical properties of the material are greatly improved. At the same time, the B-N coordination bond and the urethane hydrogen act as sacrificial bonds, which are broken under external force to dissipate energy and release and recover after release. The formation of the internal coordination bond causes the folding of the PU main chain, and the destruction of the coordination bond causes the unfolding and sliding of the polymer network, thereby improving the toughness of the material and greatly improving the brittleness and easy breaking of the traditional epoxy material.

[0012] The application of the protective coating as described above in concrete protection or steel structure protection. The specific operation is as follows: the protective coating is mixed and stirred with an epoxy curing agent at a weight ratio of 4:1-2:1 under the temperature condition of 0-30 DEG C, is brushed on the surface of concrete or steel structure within 20 min, is air-dried at room temperature for 3-5 h, and is hardened and shaped.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0014] (1) The protective coating described in the present application proposes a brand-new idea, i.e. introducing a chain extender and an epoxy resin matrix into a polyurethane prepolymer respectively to form a repairable tertiary network structure system, which significantly improves the high-efficiency toughening function; and thus the effective protection of concrete and steel structure under extreme environmental conditions such as corrosion resistance and impact resistance is realized.

[0015] (2) The protective coating of the present application has an elongation at break of 21%, which is increased by 83% compared with a pure epoxy coating; the tensile strength is increased to 36 MPa, which is increased by 38% compared with a pure epoxy coating; and the impact toughness is 30 MPa, which is increased by more than 45% compared with a pure epoxy coating.

[0016] (3) The protective coating described in the present application not only has good mechanical properties, but also can be self-repaired; the first strength recovery rate after being subjected to a prestress or a pre-damage is as high as 95%, and after 13 times of "loading-recovery-loading", the initial strength can still be recovered by 51%.

[0041] Example 4: Preparation and application of protective coating with synergistic inhibition function throughout the deterioration process

[0042] Different from example 1,

[0047] Example 5: Preparation and application of a protective coating with a synergistic inhibition function in the whole deterioration process

[0048] Different from example 1, the chain extender is N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-diisopropanolamine and 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)-bis[4-(4-hydroxybutyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane].

[0049] (1) The chain extender is N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N,N-diisopropanolamine and 2,2'-(1,4-phenylene)-bis[4-(4-hydroxybutyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane].

[0053] Example 6: Infrared spectrum of a polyurethane prepolymer, a chain extender modified polyurethane, and a composite modified coating

[0054] The infrared spectrum of the polyurethane prepolymer, the chain extender modified polyurethane of step (1) in Examples 1-5 and the final composite modified coating were characterized, and the results were consistent. The following will be described by taking Example 1 as an example, and the details are shown in Figure 4 .

[0055] As can be seen from Figure 4 , after the reaction of the chain extender with the polyurethane prepolymer, the characteristic vibration peak of urethane appears at 3318 cm -1 , the characteristic vibration peak of borate appears at 657 cm -1 , indicating that after step (1), the polyurethane containing dynamic borate ester bonds is successfully synthesized. In addition, the characteristic vibration peak of boron-nitrogen coordination bond appears at 1240 cm -1 , indicating that the reaction of the borate bond in the chain extender with the polyurethane prepolymer promotes the coordination of boron and nitrogen. At the same time, the characteristic peak of isocyanate still exists at 2250 cm -1 , indicating that the reaction product still has free isocyanate groups (NCO-) that can participate in subsequent grafting reactions.

[0056] As can be seen from the infrared spectrum of the composite modified coating, the characteristic peak of isocyanate (NCO-) completely disappears at 2242-2273 cm -1 , and the characteristic peak of borate bond appears at 660 cm -1 , the characteristic vibration peak of boron-nitrogen coordination bond appears at 1230 cm -1 , and the characteristic peak of urethane appears at 1678 cm -1 . This indicates that after step (2), the grafting reaction of the bisphenol A epoxy resin with the chain extender modified polyurethane prepolymer occurs, and a new substance, i.e., the composite modified epoxy coating, is synthesized.

[0062] Example 8: Repair performance test of the composite modified epoxy protective coating prepared in Examples 1-5

[0063] Tensile test was performed on the composite modified epoxy protective coating prepared in Examples 1-5 by a tensile testing machine, pre-stress simulation was performed by loading to 60% of the maximum tensile stress, and 2-3h room temperature standing recovery was performed after pre-stress or pre-damage effect, and 13 experiments were continuously performed. The tensile stress after recovery is shown in Table 2.

[0064] As shown in Table 2, the first strength recovery rate of the composite modified epoxy protective coating prepared in Examples 1-5 is 95-98%, and after 13 times of "loading-recovery-loading", it can still recover 45-51% of the initial maximum tensile stress.

[0067] As can be seen from the above, the mechanical properties of the composite modified epoxy protective coating prepared in Examples 1-5 of the present application are significantly improved. Among them, the elongation at break is increased to 21%, which is increased by 83% compared with the pure epoxy coating; the tensile strength is increased to 36MPa, which is increased by 38% compared with the pure epoxy coating; the impact toughness reaches 30MPa, which is increased by more than 45% compared with the pure epoxy coating. In addition, the composite modified epoxy protective coating prepared in Examples 1-5 of the present application can be self-repaired; after 13 times of "loading-recovery-loading", it can still recover 51% of the initial strength. This is because the protective coating described in the present application introduces the chain extender and the epoxy resin matrix into the polyurethane prepolymer respectively, forming a repairable three-level network structure system, which significantly improves its high-efficiency toughening function, producing an unpredictable technical effect.
