Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of material surface coating preparation, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a photothermal super-hydrophobic anti-icing and deicing composite coating. Background Art

[0002] Currently, superhydrophobic coatings have unique non-wettability due to their special surface structure, which can effectively reduce the adhesion of water on the surface, thereby prolonging the freezing time. Therefore, they have good application potential in the field of anti-icing and de-icing. However, ice formation still occurs in harsh environments. Photothermal materials can convert clean and environmentally friendly solar energy into thermal energy, add it to the coating, and use photothermal reactions to remove the ice layer on the surface of the material, thereby achieving automatic de-icing of the material surface. Photosensitive materials change color under lighting conditions as the light intensity changes, thereby being able to regulate the response of the substrate itself to solar energy. Therefore, the combination of photothermal and photosensitive materials can achieve intelligent control of photothermal de-icing.

[0003] The Chinese patent "An anti-icing and de-icing coating with both photothermal and self-cleaning properties and its preparation method" (application number: CN202111033174.4, publication number: CN113667400A, publication date: 2021.11.19) discloses an anti-icing and de-icing coating with both photothermal and self-cleaning properties and its preparation method. First, CNTs and dodecylamine are added to HCl-Tris buffer for ultrasonic dispersion, and then dopamine is added, stirred for reaction, and centrifuged to obtain highly dispersed superhydrophobic PDA@CNTs; then, the above-mentioned modified carbon nanotubes are dispersed in an organic solution, and a thermosetting resin is added; finally, the above-mentioned coating is applied to the surface of the substrate by spraying or dipping, and a self-cleaning photothermal de-icing coating is obtained after curing. However, the coating is overheated under strong light and high temperature conditions in summer, which will affect the service life of the coating. In the paper "Preparation and Ice Melting Test of Photothermal Coatings for Composite Insulators," Zhang Yu et al. prepared photothermal coatings based on RTV, using FeMnCuO4, FeNiCuO4, and CuMnCrO4 as photothermal materials. However, after ice on the coating surface melts, ice can re-accumulate on the cable surface, significantly compromising cable safety. In the paper "Preparation and Performance Study of Polypyrrole Photothermal Superhydrophobic Multifunctional Anti-icing Coating," Liang Zhenyu et al. prepared a dual-layer anti-icing coating composed of a photothermal coating made from a polymerized polypyrrole solution and a polyurethane-based superhydrophobic coating made from a fluorosilicone resin and polyisocyanate. However, the coating's lifespan in complex environments needs to be improved. In the paper "Fabrication and Application of a New-Type Photothermal Conversion Nanocomposite Coating," An Yan et al. prepared a new nanocomposite coating based on an acrylic resin matrix, incorporating CuS nanoparticles and other nanomaterials capable of absorbing light in various infrared bands. However, its hydrophobic properties as a coating need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] Table 1 is a performance comparison of the photothermal super-hydrophobic anti-icing and de-icing coatings prepared by PVDF coating, polysiloxane coating and Examples 1-4. As can be seen from the table, the PVDF coating itself does not have photothermal properties, and the anti-icing effect is greatly reduced under extreme environments; the polysiloxane coating has a certain photothermal effect, but the heat generation capacity is poor, and the ice adhesion reaches 147kPa, and the anti-icing performance is poor. Compared with the above coatings, the coatings prepared in Examples 1-4 have strong photothermal and hydrophobic properties, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of icing, and the coatings are tested for strong / weak light irradiation at -5°C. It is found that the coatings can respond to different light intensities, regulate heat generation capacity, improve the coating's ability to protect wires and cables, and greatly increase the service life of wires and cables.

After drying, a photothermal controlled deicing filler is obtained; Step 2, preparing a photothermal super-hydrophobic deicing inner coating and a photothermal super-hydrophobic deicing outer coating; Step 2.1, adding the photothermal controlled deicing filler obtained in step 1 to an organic solvent, and simultaneously adding a photosensitive material and ultrasonically forming a uniform slurry, and then mixing and stirring with a thermosetting resin and a curing agent to form a photothermal superhydrophobic deicing inner layer coating; Step 2.2, adding the photothermal controlled deicing filler obtained in step 1 to an organic solvent, mixing evenly, and then adding a thermosetting resin and a curing agent and stirring to form a photothermal superhydrophobic deicing outer coating; Step 3: evenly spray the photothermal super-hydrophobic deicing inner layer coating on the cable and solidify it, then spray the photothermal super-hydrophobic deicing outer layer coating, and after solidification, form a photothermal super-hydrophobic anti-icing and deicing composite coating on the cable surface.
