[0002] Currently, with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people are paying more and more attention to the waterproof and stain-resistant functions of a large number of product surfaces. For example, kitchen and bathroom products, car parts, electronic products such as mobile phones, watches, and glasses increasingly need to be waterproof and stain-resistant to reduce the pollution and residue of fingerprints, stains, etc.

[0003] To address the problem of these products easily attracting dust, oil, water stains, etc., during use and being difficult to clean, an anti-fouling coating is typically applied to the surface of these products (also referred to here as the substrate to be plated). The anti-fouling coating's waterproof and anti-fouling properties achieve the product's self-cleaning function. Currently, examples of such anti-fouling coatings include hydrophobic films made of inert hydrophobic fluorosilicone composites, non-fluorosilicone polymer melts, and organic-inorganic hybrid superhydrophobic materials with nanostructures.

[0004] However, these hydrophobic films have drawbacks such as insufficient stability, poor reliability, and poor scratch resistance, making them easily damaged when subjected to external forces, which are detrimental to maintaining the hydrophobic properties of the product surface.

Furthermore, this superhydrophobic surface micro / nanostructure also possesses anti-corrosion properties, particularly for metal substrates. Environmental humidity can cause oxidation and corrosion of metal materials, and the superhydrophobic surface micro / nanostructure's excellent hydrophobic properties enhance the corrosion and oxidation resistance of the metal material. On the other hand, the coating of this antifouling coating exhibits higher hardness compared to organic coatings, and the superhydrophobic surface micro / nanostructure effectively reduces the coefficient of friction on the coating surface, thus significantly improving the coating's abrasion resistance and effectively maintaining its superhydrophobic properties.

[0081] In related technologies, cleaning films on the surfaces of kitchen and bathroom products, automotive parts, electronic products such as mobile phones and watches, and glasses can be AF (Anti-fingerprint) films. AF films are usually made of low surface energy materials such as silicone and fluorine. When they are vapor-deposited onto the surfaces of these products, they have the problem of being thin and easily worn. Similarly, by spraying organic coatings onto the surfaces of these products, there is also the problem that the organic coatings have a short service life because the product surfaces are not scratch-resistant.

[0082] Based on the above technical problems, firstly, some embodiments of this application provide an anti-fouling plating part, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the antifouling coating includes: a substrate 11 to be coated, a metal underlayer 12, a transition layer 13, and a hydrophobic layer 14. The metal underlayer 12 is disposed on the surface of the substrate 11 to be coated, the transition layer 13 is disposed on the surface of the metal underlayer 12 facing away from the substrate 11, and the hydrophobic layer 14 is disposed on the surface of the transition layer 13 facing away from the metal underlayer 12. The materials of the transition layer 13 and the hydrophobic layer 14 are independently selected from inorganic materials, and both the transition layer 13 and the hydrophobic layer 14 contain silicon. The surface of the hydrophobic layer 14 facing away from the transition layer 13 has a superhydrophobic surface micro / nano structure.

[0083] Surface micro-nano structures have characteristics such as regular texture and periodicity, and different types of surface micro-nano structures exist according to different functional characteristics.

[0084] A superhydrophobic surface refers to a surface with a stable contact angle (in this application, it refers to the water contact angle) greater than 110°, similar to the characteristics of a "lotus leaf" surface, having a large number of micro-protrusion structures. These micro-protrusion structures give the lotus leaf superhydrophobic properties.

[0085] Inspired by the micro- and nano-structures on the surface of lotus leaves, superhydrophobic surface micro- and nano-structures are fabricated on the surface of hydrophobic layer 14. For example... Figure 2 As shown, a scanning microscope image of the surface of the anti-fouling plating is displayed. Figure 2 In this context, EHT = 10.00kV means that the accelerating voltage applied to the surface of the anti-fouling plating is 10kV when using a scanning electron microscope (SEM); WD = 4.9mm means the working distance (i.e., the distance from the SEM lens to the anti-fouling plating) is 4.9mm; Mag = 40.00KX means the magnification of the SEM is 40,000x; Signal A = inLens means that an inLens detector is used to acquire the scanning signal. Figure 3 As shown, an atomic force microscope image of the surface morphology of the anti-fouling plating part is presented; by Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the surface of this anti-fouling plating part has holes and is relatively rough, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the surface of this antifouling coating has numerous raised structures, with the highest protrusion reaching a height of 0.13 micrometers. It can be seen that the surface of this antifouling coating forms a superhydrophobic micro / nano structure resembling a lotus leaf.

[0086] A metal underlayer 12, a transition layer 13, and a hydrophobic layer 14 are sequentially formed on the surface of the substrate 11 to be plated. The metal underlayer 12, the transition layer 13, and the hydrophobic layer 14 are all selected from inorganic materials. The metal underlayer improves the adhesion between the transition layer 13 and the substrate 11 to be plated, thereby increasing the bonding force between the plating layer and the substrate 11. The transition layer 13 serves as a transition layer and also improves the bonding force between the hydrophobic layer 14 and the metal underlayer 12. The hydrophobic layer 14 serves as a hydrophobic and antifouling layer.

[0087] Based on the above structure, in this antifouling coating, since both the transition layer 13 and the hydrophobic layer 14 contain silicon, on the one hand, compared with the organic coating prepared on the surface of the substrate to be coated in related technologies, the coating on the surface of this antifouling coating has higher hardness, which can reduce damage caused by scratches; on the other hand, by setting a superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure on the surface of the hydrophobic layer 14, the antifouling coating can be endowed with excellent superhydrophobic properties, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect similar to a "lotus leaf". At the same time, the superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure also has anti-corrosion properties. In particular, for the metal substrate 11 to be coated, the humidity of the environment will cause oxidation and corrosion to the metal material, and the superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure has good hydrophobic properties, thereby improving the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the metal material; furthermore, the coating of this antifouling coating has higher hardness than the organic coating, and the superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure can also effectively reduce the friction coefficient of the coating surface, thus effectively improving the friction resistance of the coating, thereby effectively maintaining the superhydrophobic properties of the coating. In summary, the antifouling coating provided in this application can solve the problems of insufficient stability, poor reliability, poor scratch resistance, and easy damage when subjected to external force in the hydrophobic film layer in the related technology.

[0088] The specific materials of the transition layer 13 and the hydrophobic layer 14 are not limited, as long as an inorganic material coating can be formed and a superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure can be formed on the surface of the hydrophobic layer 14.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hydrophobic layer 14 includes a first hydrophobic layer 141 and a second hydrophobic layer 142 stacked sequentially in a direction gradually moving away from the substrate 11 to be plated; wherein, the material of the transition layer 13 is silicon, the material of the first hydrophobic layer 141 includes one or more of silicon carbide and silicon nitride, and the material of the second hydrophobic layer 142 is carbon.

[0090] In these embodiments, by providing a first hydrophobic layer 141 and a second hydrophobic layer 142, and since the transition layer 13 is made of silicon, the first hydrophobic layer 141 is made of one or more of silicon carbide and silicon nitride, and the second hydrophobic layer 142 is made of carbon, the first hydrophobic layer 141 has high hardness and wear resistance, and can be made to have a micro-nano structure on its surface, thereby giving the anti-fouling plating part high wear resistance and surface hydrophobicity. Furthermore, the transition layer 13 can act as a base layer for the first hydrophobic layer 141, facilitating its adhesion to the metal base layer 12. Moreover, since the second hydrophobic layer 142 is made of carbon, it has higher hardness, giving the anti-fouling plating part higher hardness and better wear resistance during use. On the one hand, the second hydrophobic layer 142 is relatively dense, which can give the antifouling coating a high density structure, making the antifouling coating have good impermeability, improving the physical shielding ability of the coating in the antifouling coating, and further improving its corrosion resistance. At the same time, the material of the second hydrophobic layer 142 includes carbon. Therefore, the second hydrophobic layer 142 can be a carbon layer with a diamond crystal structure, which can further improve the surface wear resistance and hardness of the antifouling coating, thus making it scratch-resistant. Meanwhile, the formation of the micro-nano structure on the surface of the first hydrophobic layer 141 can make the surface of the second hydrophobic layer 142 also have a micro-nano structure. When liquid (such as water) comes into contact with the surface of the antifouling coating, the surface structure helps to trap air on the surface of the antifouling coating, thus exhibiting superhydrophobic properties.

[0091] In addition, some embodiments of this application tested the surface elemental distribution of an anti-fouling plating part where the metal underlayer material is Cr, the transition layer material is silicon, the first hydrophobic layer 141 material is silicon nitride, and the second hydrophobic layer 142 material is carbon. The test results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0092] Table 1

[0093] element Atomic percentage C 6.69% N 44.38% O 5.81% Si 32.87% Ar 1.00% Cr 8.96%

[0094] The thickness of the transition layer 13, the first hydrophobic layer 141, and the second hydrophobic layer 142 are not specifically limited, and all thickness values ​​that can have the above characteristics are within the protection scope of this application.

[0095] In some embodiments, the thickness of the transition layer 13 is 50 nm to 100 nm; and / or, the thickness of the first hydrophobic layer 141 is 50 nm to 100 nm; and / or, the thickness of the second hydrophobic layer 142 is 20 nm to 50 nm.

[0096] In these embodiments, by limiting the thickness of the transition layer 13 to the range of 50 nm to 100 nm, a transition function is achieved, facilitating the adhesion of the first hydrophobic layer 141 and the second hydrophobic layer 142 to the surface of the substrate 11 to be plated, thereby improving the bonding force between the first hydrophobic layer 141 and the second hydrophobic layer 142 and the substrate 11 to be plated. By limiting the thickness of the first hydrophobic layer 141 to the range of 50 nm to 100 nm, a surface micro / nanostructure with a certain roughness can be formed, thereby facilitating the formation of a surface micro / nanostructure with hydrophobic properties on the surface of the second hydrophobic layer 142. By limiting the thickness of the second hydrophobic layer 142 to the range of 20 nm to 50 nm, the second hydrophobic layer 142 can maintain the aforementioned superhydrophobic surface micro / nanostructure, while also ensuring that the second hydrophobic layer 142 has good density properties, thereby enabling the antifouling plated part to have good impermeability and corrosion resistance.

[0097] The specific material and thickness of the metal underlayment 12 are not limited, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0098] In some embodiments, the metal underlayment 12 satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0099] (1) The material of the metal underlayer 12 includes one or more of Zr, Ti, Cr and Ta;

[0100] (2) The thickness of the metal underlayer 12 is 10nm to 50nm.

[0101] In these embodiments, by selecting these metals as the base material, the adhesion between the transition layer 13 and the substrate to be plated can be improved. By limiting the thickness of the metal base layer 12 to the range of 10nm to 50nm, it can be ensured that the metal base layer 12 has a good base effect, avoiding the problem of high stress caused by direct contact between the transition layer 13 and the substrate to be plated, thereby improving the adhesion between the transition layer 13 and the substrate 11 to be plated.

[0102] In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 11 to be plated is selected from one or more of glass, ceramic, metal and plastic.

[0103] For example, the substrate 11 to be plated can be a kitchen faucet, a bathroom shower head, a shower fitting, etc.; or, the substrate 11 to be plated can be a mobile phone casing, a car rearview mirror casing, a watch casing, an eyeglass frame, etc.

[0104] Secondly, some embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing an anti-fouling plated part, the method comprising the following steps S41) to S43):

[0105] S41) Form a metal underlayer on the surface of the substrate to be plated;

[0106] S42) A transition layer is formed on the surface of the metal underlayer that is away from the substrate to be plated;

[0107] S43) A hydrophobic layer is formed on the surface of the transition layer away from the metal substrate; wherein the materials of the transition layer and the hydrophobic layer are independently selected from inorganic materials, and both the transition layer and the hydrophobic layer contain silicon elements, and the surface of the hydrophobic layer away from the transition layer has a superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure.

[0108] The specific deposition methods for forming a metal underlayer on the surface of the substrate to be plated, forming a transition layer on the surface of the metal underlayer away from the substrate to be plated, and forming a hydrophobic layer on the surface of the transition layer away from the metal underlayer are not limited. All process means that can achieve the deposition of the metal underlayer, transition layer and hydrophobic layer are within the protection scope of this application.

[0109] In the method for preparing the antifouling plated part provided in this application embodiment, a metal underlayer, a transition layer, and a hydrophobic layer are sequentially formed on the surface of the substrate to be plated. Since the metal underlayer, transition layer, and hydrophobic layer 14 are all selected from inorganic materials, and since both the transition layer and the hydrophobic layer contain silicon, on the one hand, compared with the preparation of organic coatings on the surface of the substrate in related technologies, the coating on the surface of this antifouling plated part has higher hardness, which can reduce damage caused by scratches; on the other hand, by forming a superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure on the surface of the hydrophobic layer, the antifouling plated part can be endowed with excellent superhydrophobic properties, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect similar to a "lotus leaf." Simultaneously, the superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure also has anti-corrosion properties. Especially for metal substrates, environmental humidity can cause oxidation and corrosion. The superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure has excellent hydrophobic properties, thereby improving the corrosion and oxidation resistance of the metal material. Furthermore, the coating of the antifouling coating has high hardness, and the superhydrophobic surface micro-nano structure can effectively reduce the friction coefficient of the coating surface, thus effectively improving the friction resistance of the coating. It has the same technical effect as the antifouling coating provided in the embodiments of this application, solving the problems of insufficient stability, poor reliability, and poor scratch resistance of hydrophobic films in related technologies, which are easily damaged when subjected to external force. This is beneficial to maintaining the hydrophobic properties of the antifouling coating surface.

[0110] The material of the substrate to be plated can be selected from one or more of glass, ceramics, metals and plastics, without any specific limitation.

[0111] The metal underlay material can include one or more of Zr, Ti, Cr, and Ta. These metal underlay materials can improve the adhesion between the transition layer and the substrate to be plated, and can enhance the corrosion resistance of the coating.

[0112] Before forming the metal underlayer on the surface of the substrate to be plated (S41), to facilitate a good bond between the metal underlayer and the surface of the substrate, the preparation method may further include: pretreatment of the substrate to be plated. This pretreatment may, for example, include one or more of the following steps: bright chrome plating, ultrasonic degreasing, ultrasonic dewaxing, acid activation, water washing, and baking. This results in a cleaner surface, facilitating the subsequent adhesion of the metal underlayer to the surface of the substrate.

[0113] In some embodiments, S41) forming a metal underlayer on the surface of the substrate to be plated includes:

[0114] Using one or more of Zr, Ti, Cr and Ta as the target material, a second multi-arc ion plating process is used to deposit a metal underlayer on the surface of the substrate to be plated.

[0115] In these embodiments, a metal underlayer can be formed on the surface of the substrate to be plated using a second multi-arc ion plating process.

[0116] In some embodiments, the conditions of the second multi-arc ion plating process include:

[0117] The initial vacuum level in the vacuum chamber of this second multi-arc ion plating process is 8 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Pa~2×10 -2 During the reaction, the flow rate of the inert gas introduced is 200 sccm to 600 sccm, so that the gas pressure in the vacuum chamber is maintained at 8 × 10⁻⁶ Pa. -2 Pa~6×10 -1 Pa;

[0118] The second multi-arc ion plating process uses a power supply voltage of 20V to 40V, a current of 50A to 150A, a negative bias voltage of -100V to -300V applied to the substrate to be plated during the plating process, a temperature of 50℃ to 150℃ in the vacuum chamber, and a plating time of 60s to 120s.

[0119] In these embodiments, by controlling the second multi-arc ion plating process to meet the above conditions, it is possible to ensure the formation of a relatively dense and stable metal underlayer, thereby ensuring that the coating has good stability and corrosion resistance.

[0120] In some embodiments, the hydrophobic layer includes a first hydrophobic layer and a second hydrophobic layer, the transition layer is made of silicon, the first hydrophobic layer is made of one or more of silicon nitride and silicon carbide, and the second hydrophobic layer is made of carbon.

[0121] A transition layer is formed on the surface of the metal underlayer that is away from the substrate to be plated, including:

[0122] Using silicon as the target material, a transition layer is deposited on the surface of the substrate to be plated by first magnetron sputtering.

[0123] A hydrophobic layer is formed on the surface of the transition layer away from the metal underlayer, including:

[0124] Using one or more of silicon nitride and silicon carbide as the target material, a first hydrophobic layer is deposited on the surface of the transition layer away from the metal underlayer using a second magnetron sputtering method; and

[0125] Using graphite as the target material, a second hydrophobic layer is deposited on the surface of the first hydrophobic layer away from the transition layer using the first multi-arc ion plating process.

[0126] In these embodiments, by depositing a transition layer on a metal substrate using a first magnetron sputtering process and then depositing a first hydrophobic layer on the transition layer using a second magnetron sputtering process, the fabrication of both the transition layer and the first hydrophobic layer can be completed in the same chamber, saving process steps. Simultaneously, when depositing the first hydrophobic layer on the transition layer using the second magnetron sputtering process, a surface micro / nano structure with a certain roughness can be formed, thus facilitating the imparting of superhydrophobic properties similar to a "lotus leaf" to the antifouling plating part. Furthermore, when depositing the second hydrophobic layer on the surface of the first hydrophobic layer using the first multi-arc ion plating process, it is convenient to form a nanosheet-like carbon layer structure (such as...). Figure 1 As shown, the carbon layer surface morphology presents a rough surface composed of nanosheets, which has high hardness and density, thereby reducing the friction coefficient of the coating surface and improving the coating's impermeability.

[0127] In some embodiments, the conditions for the first magnetron sputtering include:

[0128] The initial vacuum level in the vacuum chamber during the first magnetron sputtering was 8 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Pa~2×10 -2 During the reaction, the flow rate of the inert gas introduced is 200 sccm to 600 sccm, maintaining the pressure in the vacuum chamber at 8 × 10⁻⁶ Pa. - 2 Pa~6×10 -1 Pa;

[0133] The second magnetron sputtering uses a power supply voltage of 300V to 600V, a current of 10A to 30A, a negative bias voltage of -30V to -100V applied to the substrate to be coated during coating, a temperature of 50℃ to 150℃ in the vacuum chamber, and a coating time of 1000s to 1500s.

[0134] In some embodiments, the conditions of the first multi-arc ion plating process include:

[0135] The initial vacuum level in the vacuum chamber of this first multi-arc ion plating process is 8 × 10⁻⁶. -4 Pa~2×10 -2 During the reaction, the flow rate of the inert gas introduced is 200 sccm to 600 sccm, maintaining the pressure in the vacuum chamber at 8 × 10⁻⁶ Pa. -2 Pa~6×10 -1 Pa;

[0136] The first multi-arc ion plating process uses a power supply voltage of 20V to 40V, a current of 20A to 50A, a negative bias voltage of -100V to -300V applied to the substrate to be plated during the plating process, a temperature of 50℃ to 150℃ in the vacuum chamber, and a plating time of 120s to 240s.

[0137] Thirdly, some embodiments of this application provide an application of the anti-fouling plating as described in the first aspect as an anti-fouling product.

[0138] For example, the anti-fouling plating can be used in kitchen and bathroom products. In this case, the anti-fouling plating has a self-cleaning function, can be used for waterproofing and stain prevention, is easy to clean, and is scratch-resistant and corrosion-resistant. For example, the anti-fouling plating can be used for kitchen faucets, basin faucets, shower heads, shower fittings, etc.

[0139] As another example, the anti-fouling coating can be used for electronic product casings, such as mobile phone casings and watch casings, to prevent stains, oil stains, and fingerprints.

[0140] For another example, the anti-fouling coating can be used for the housing of a car rearview mirror, which can serve to prevent water, oil, and fingerprints.

[0179] Test case

[0180] The surface properties of the faucets provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 were tested, and the specific test results are shown in Table 2 below:

[0181] Table 2

[0182]

[0183] In Table 2 above, the friction method was as follows: A 500g pig bristle brush was used to continuously rub the surfaces of the faucets provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2 for 10,000 and 20,000 cycles, respectively. The water contact angle before and after friction was tested. Some specific test results are shown below. Figures 4 to 13 As shown, in Figures 4 to 13 In this context, CAleft represents the angle to the left, and CAright represents the angle to the right.

[0184] The mud scratch resistance test method is as follows: mud is flowed over the surface of the faucets provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2. The mud flow rate is any value between 3 ml / min and 3.5 ml / min. The faucets provided in Examples 1-5 did not wear through the coating after more than 7000 friction cycles, while the faucet provided in Comparative Example 1 wore through after 2500 friction cycles, and the faucet provided in Comparative Example 2 wore through after 1000 friction cycles. It should be noted that during the test, one back-and-forth movement of the brush in the friction machine is counted as one cycle, and the number of friction cycles is recorded as 1.

[0185] The coating hardness test was conducted by using a Vickers hardness tester to test the hardness of the faucet surfaces provided in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-2. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0186] From the data in Table 2 above and Figures 4 to 13 It can be seen that the faucet provided in this application embodiment has advantages such as high surface hardness and good scratch resistance, and can maintain a good hydrophobic effect for a long time. In contrast, the coatings of the vapor-deposited composite film and the nano-oil spraying method in the comparative example have low hardness and poor scratch resistance, resulting in a significant decrease in hydrophobic performance after 20,000 continuous rubbing cycles with a 500g load on the bristle brush.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0188] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application.
