Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of antifouling material manufacturing, and particularly relates to an antifouling cloth for marine organisms and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Marine organism fouling can increase the resistance of a ship, and the ship, marine resource development equipment and coastal facilities serving in a harsh marine environment are faced with serious problems of fouling, corrosion and fuel consumption, which further increases the environmental burden and causes huge economic losses and safety hazards.

[0003] Marine instruments and equipment and key devices are important means for carrying out marine investigation and observation, scientific research and marine resource development, and the surfaces of light-transmitting materials such as underwater optical windows, sensors and photographic lenses are affected by various factors such as scouring, corrosion and biological fouling. Meanwhile, the fouling materials such as barnacles, seaweed and mussels attached to the surfaces of the materials have a certain light absorption, and the light of different wavelengths absorbed by the fouling materials seriously interferes with the service performance and stability of the underwater optical equipment and increases the damage of the near-shore equipment. According to statistics, the annual loss caused by marine organism fouling is as high as tens of billions of dollars, and about 8-10% of the global offshore platforms have been involved in accidents, most of which are caused by marine organism fouling and marine corrosion.

[0004] Due to the complexity of the marine environment and the diversity of the biological community (>4000 species), marine antifouling is recognized as a worldwide problem. Many antifouling technologies have been applied to marine monitoring instruments, mainly including antifouling material design and antifouling paint, mechanical cleaning by brush, electrochemical electrolysis antifouling, ultraviolet lamp irradiation, ultrasonic prevention and control and the like.

[0005] So far, the antifouling coating is still the most common measure to prevent marine organisms from attaching to the surface of equipment. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN103788811A and the application date of December 11, 2013 provides an environmentally friendly marine antifouling paint, which includes raw materials in parts by weight: epoxy phenolic resin 20-45 parts, titanium dioxide 0.5-1 part, biological antifouling agent 1-10 parts, titanium white 5-10 parts, kaolin 3-8 parts, mica powder 8-15 parts, solvent 18-28 parts, anti-settling agent 0.05-1 part and wetting dispersant 0.05-1 part. The paint contains pure natural biological antifouling agent, has a repelling effect on marine organisms, destroys the attachment ability of marine organisms and thus achieves the purpose of preventing pollution, and does not cause any toxic effect on the marine environment. However, such antifouling paint is prone to aging and cracking under sunlight, and even the seawater corrosion and scouring can easily cause the antifouling performance of the coating to decrease.

[0006] Sea lions can sway with the fluctuation of seawater due to a layer of fine and dense villi on the surface, which has the potential of biological antifouling. Therefore, it is feasible to use the principle of bionics to simulate the characteristics of large marine organisms to achieve biological antifouling through the epidermal structure, and to use the flocking method to mimic the biological structure characteristics to construct a new type of marine antifouling material. At present, the flocking method is commonly used to prepare fabrics, and the flocking method is less used in the preparation of marine antifouling materials, and there are problems such as limited substrate surface, large equipment coating difficulty, etc., which limits the application of the flocking method in marine antifouling. The Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN112127163A, the application date of which is September 21, 2020, describes a zwitterionic polymer modified vertical fiber marine antifouling material and a preparation method thereof. The invention uses zwitterionic polymer to modify the surface of the flocking fiber, introduces polymethacryloyl ethyl sulfobetaine, reduces the surface energy of the fiber surface, and improves the problem of biological adhesion of vertical fibers in marine antifouling. However, this method only modifies the surface, and the durability of the product is poor. At the same time, it is only suitable for regular surfaces, and it is difficult to handle parts such as elbows and corners, and the application is limited.

[0087] Comparative Example 4

[0088] The present example provides a method for preparing a cloth, comprising the following steps:

[0089] S1, adding ZnO and 95% ethanol in a three-necked flask, ultrasonic dispersion for 30min, placing in a 75℃ oil bath pot for stirring, while slowly adding pre-hydrolyzed γ-aminopropyl triethoxysilane coupling agent KH550 for 1h, reacting for 4h under the condition of stirring in a 75℃ oil bath, after the reaction is completed, separating by suction filtration and washing with ethanol for three times to remove excess KH550, drying in a 60℃ oven for 12h, and then grinding into powder with a mortar to obtain modified nano-ZnO, denoted as m-ZnO;

[0090] S2. Polyamide granules were dried in an 80℃ oven for 12 hours. The dried granules were mixed with m-ZnO and then melt-extruded through a twin-screw extruder to produce a polyamide / ZnO composite material. The composite material was then dried in an 80℃ oven for 12 hours and then melt-spun to obtain polyamide / ZnO composite filaments. The temperatures of the twin-screw extruder were as follows: Zone 1: 230℃~250℃; Zone 2: 260℃~280℃; Zone 3: 260℃~280℃; Zone 4: 230℃~250℃; Die head temperature: 240℃~260℃. The screw speed was 350 r / min, the melt spinning temperature was 270℃, and the spinning speed was 15000 m / min.

[0091] S3. After the composite filaments are cut by a cutting machine or crushed by a pulverizer, they are washed, sieved, and electroplated to produce polyamide / ZnO composite fluff with a length of 0.5 mm and a diameter of 16 μm, and then dried in an oven at 40℃ for 30 min.

[0092] S4. Using polypropylene fiber woven fabric as the base film material, polyamide / ZnO composite flocking is applied to the polypropylene fiber woven fabric coated with adhesive. After cleaning and drying, a 0.2mm thick layer of acrylic resin that has been vacuum-sealed for 45 minutes to remove air bubbles in the adhesive is applied. The flocking time is 15 seconds, and the flocking coverage is 70%. The flocking layer adhesive is dried in a 90℃ oven for 2 hours to accelerate the curing of the flocking layer. After drying, the surface flocking is combed to remove loose fibers.

[0093] S5. Mix 2 mmol potassium tert-butoxide and 0.2 mmol dicyclohexane and 18-crown-6 ether in a beaker at room temperature. Immerse the flocked sample in the mixture for surface chemical modification treatment. Then, stir and activate at room temperature for 1 h. Add 4 mmol undecylacetoxytrichlorosilane and react at 50 °C for 3 h. Finally, wash with ethanol and deionized water to remove surface residues. After drying, obtain a polyamide flocked surface.

[0094] S6. Wash and dry the polyamide flocked surface, apply a layer of butyl rubber modified asphalt as a 1.5mm anti-corrosion adhesive layer to the unflocked base film surface, and then apply an anti-adhesion cloth to make a 13cm wide marine anti-biofouling patch.

[0095] Performance testing

[0096] 1. Diatom adhesion experiment

[0097] The samples from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were affixed to the surface of a bakelite board and placed in the same 25cm sterilized petri dish. 200ml of sterilized natural seawater was added, followed by 100ml of diatom solution (Small nautiloides and Feathered nautiloides), with a diatom quantity of 1×10⁻⁶. 5The sample was taken out after the experiment, and gently shaken in seawater for several times. The sample surface was washed with distilled water, and the sample was observed under an optical microscope at 10 times field of view. Ten different positions were selected to record the diatom adhesion, and the average value was calculated.

[0098] Test results:

[0099] Table 1: Diatom adhesion test results

[0100]

[0101] As can be seen from Table 1, in the diatom adhesion test, the surface of the anti-marine biofouling cloth prepared by the secondary modification method has very few diatoms, while the cloth without modification of nano-ZnO has more diatoms, and the cloth without fluff surface treatment has more diatoms, and the cloth without twice modification has many diatoms, and changing the fluff coverage can also affect the adhesion of diatoms. The adhesion of diatoms on the polypropylene woven cloth without fluff treatment is the most. It can be seen that the fluff method can greatly inhibit the adhesion of diatoms, and further modification can effectively reduce the adhesion of diatoms.

[0102] 2. Mussel adhesion experiment

[0103] The samples of the above embodiment 1 and comparative examples 1-4 were attached to the surface of the bakelite board and placed in sterile treated culture dishes, 8 small mussels with a diameter of 1 cm were placed in each culture dish, and 50 ml of sterile filtered pure seawater was added. After standing at room temperature for 48 h, the number of byssus of mussels was counted.

[0104] Test results:

[0105] Table 2: Mussel adhesion test results

[0106]

[0107] As can be seen from Table 2, the cloth prepared by the secondary modification method has the best experimental effect, i.e. the number of attached mussels is the least, and reducing the number of modifications or reducing the fluff coverage will increase the adhesion of mussels. In addition, it should be noted that the number of byssus discs of mussels attached to the polypropylene woven cloth without fluff treatment is the most, i.e. the fluff method can well inhibit the adhesion of mussels, and further modification can also reduce the number of mussels adhesion.

[0108] 3. Barnacle adhesion experiment

[0109] The samples of the above-mentioned Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were attached to the surface of a bakelite plate and were respectively put into a sterile treated culture dish, 20 white ridge barnacle cyprid larvae were added into each culture dish by using a disposable pipette, and the culture dishes were placed in dark condition at 25℃ for 40h, the number of the attached barnacles was observed, and the ratio of the number of the attached cyprid larvae to the total number of the added cyprid larvae was taken as the attachment ratio of the barnacles.

[0110] Test results:

[0111] Table 3: Barnacle attachment test results

[0112]

[0113] As can be seen from Table 3, the flocked modified sample can well inhibit the attachment of the barnacles. According to the attachment condition of the barnacle cyprid larvae, the surface of the substrate is not suitable for attachment, and the larvae will re-enter the seawater, thereby delaying the attachment. In the present test, the flocked modified patch is not suitable for the attachment condition of the barnacle cyprid larvae, and thus has the effect of biological antifouling.

[0114] The above-mentioned is only the embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation by using the content of the present application, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
