Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coatings, and particularly to a modified graphene PTFE-based coating and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the marine field, due to the high corrosiveness and complex mechanical stress of seawater, in the fields of marine engineering and shipbuilding, traditional materials are difficult to meet the long-term use requirements. The PTFE-based three-layer self-lubricating composite material consists of a metal matrix, an intermediate bonding layer, and a PTFE-based coating. Among them, the metal matrix can provide mechanical strength, the intermediate bonding layer can ensure firm interlayer bonding, and the PTFE-based coating can provide certain self-lubricating and wear-resistant properties. If this material is applied to the seawater field, although it can reduce the friction and wear of mechanical components to a certain extent, its wear resistance still cannot meet the requirements for long-term application in the seawater field.

[0003] Due to the high corrosiveness of seawater, and the internal structure of the existing PTFE-based coating is relatively loose. After long-term use, the corrosive medium in seawater easily penetrates into the metal matrix, resulting in the corrosion of the substrate coated with the PTFE-based coating. Graphene, as a nanoscale material, has excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. When graphene is added to the PTFE matrix, it can significantly improve the wear resistance and mechanical properties of the prepared coating, while maintaining the original chemical corrosion resistance and low friction coefficient characteristics of the PTFE matrix. However, the following problems will occur in the process of graphene enhancing the performance of the PTFE-based coating in the existing technology: First, graphene is prone to agglomeration and cannot be well dispersed when added to the PTFE matrix. As a result, after the prepared coating is applied to the substrate, the wear resistance and mechanical properties of different parts of the substrate vary greatly. Second, the interfacial bonding between graphene and the PTFE matrix is weak, resulting in poor adhesion between graphene and the PTFE matrix. Third, the PTFE matrix itself has many micropores and cracks. Among them, the first and second problems will seriously affect the wear resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating, and the third problem will cause the corrosive medium in seawater to penetrate through the PTFE matrix to the metal matrix, resulting in the substrate (i.e., the metal matrix) coated with the PTFE-based coating being still easily corroded by seawater in the seawater environment, thus resulting in poor corrosion resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of poor wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the PTFE-based coating in the existing technology, the present invention provides a modified graphene PTFE-based coating.

[0015] Spread the mixed mud evenly on a copper powder plate, and roll it with a rolling mill to obtain a plate with the mixed mud coated on the surface;

[0016] Next, place the board with the mixed mud on its surface layer into a sintering device for plasticization. The plasticization temperature is 370 °C, the plasticization time is 4 h, and the heating rate is 10 °C / min. After sintering is completed, it is cooled to room temperature with the sintering device, and thus the board with the modified graphene PTFE-based coating is obtained.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above solution, the copper-coated graphene powder is prepared by an in-situ generation method.

[0018] As a further improvement of the above solution, the preparation of the copper-coated graphene powder includes the following steps:

[0019] Disperse graphene in 600 mL of ethanol solution, and after ultrasonic treatment, perform magnetic stirring to obtain a mixed solution III;

[0020] Sequentially add copper nitrate trihydrate and glucose solution to the mixed solution III, and stir for a period of time to obtain a mixed solution IV;

After the addition is completed, stir for 3 hours, then filter the stirred solution to obtain a solid product; wash the solid product with deionized water multiple times and filter it by suction and dry it to obtain the copper-coated graphene powder.

[0044] Next, in combination with the detailed implementation manners, the present invention will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, any combination of the following-described embodiments or technical features can form a new embodiment.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that for orientation terms, such as the terms "center", "horizontal", "vertical", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., the orientation and position relationships indicated are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of the present invention. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. The terms "include" and "have" in the description and claims of the present invention and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not necessarily have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] A modified graphene PTFE-based coating, the raw materials of which are by weight: 40-80 parts of PTFE powder, 1-10 parts of coupling agent, 5-15 parts of aramid, 0.5-8 parts of graphene, 70-90 parts of copper nitrate trihydrate, and 15-25 parts of polyimide.

[0048] Among them, the coupling agent is one or more of heptadecafluorodecyltriethoxysilane, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and tridecafluorooctyltriethoxysilane. In this embodiment, the copper-plated graphene is modified by using a coupling agent, so that the number of micropores and crack defects in the PTFE matrix is greatly reduced, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the PTFE-based coating.

[0049] Specifically, both heptadecafluorodecyltriethoxysilane and tridecafluorooctyltriethoxysilane are fluorine-based coupling agents. Their C-F groups are extremely similar to the C-F groups in the PTFE matrix. Therefore, during the mixing process, according to the principle of like dissolves like, the compatibility between PTFE and fillers (i.e., graphene, aramid, and polyimide) is modified by the fluorine-based coupling agent, so that the interfacial bonding between PTFE and fillers is tighter, improving its wear resistance. At the same time, the coupling agent can also greatly reduce the micropores and crack defects of the PTFE matrix itself, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating. The improvement of corrosion resistance enables the prepared coating to be applied to devices in the marine field, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of these devices. The wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the equipment in the marine field coated with this coating are greatly improved.

[0050] γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is an amino coupling agent. The fluorine atoms on the surface of PTFE will repel the unshared electrons of the amino N, making it far away from the fluorine atoms, while the H atoms in the amino group are attracted by the F atoms and accept the unshared electron pair on the surface of the F atoms, thus forming an intermolecular hydrogen bond, greatly reducing the repulsive force between the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene, and improving the organic-inorganic interfacial bonding strength. As a result, the micropores and cracks in the prepared PTFE-based coating are reduced, and the corrosion resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating is improved.

[0051] In addition, in this embodiment, the copper nanoparticles are evenly adsorbed on the surface of graphene or embedded in the graphene sheets, so that the number of graphene layers is small and there is no agglomeration phenomenon. In addition, the copper nanoparticles can effectively inhibit the agglomeration of graphene under the van der Waals force. The reason is that the thinner graphene layer can provide adsorption sites for copper ions, which is beneficial to the generation of copper nanoparticles, and these reactive adsorption sites will limit the aggregation of graphene, enhancing the dispersion of graphene in PTFE, thereby improving the wear resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating.

[0052] The particle size of graphene is 2μm - 7μm.

[0057] Adding the modified graphene powder into a PTFE dispersion liquid, and sequentially performing stirring, filtering and drying to obtain a modified graphene PTFE composite powder.

[0058] Adding aramid and polyimide into the modified graphene PTFE composite powder respectively, and mixing evenly to obtain a mixed mud.

[0059] Spreading the mixed mud evenly on a copper powder plate, and rolling it with a rolling mill to obtain a plate with the mixed mud coated on the surface layer.

[0190] Now, perform surface hardness, friction and wear tests, and corrosion resistance tests on the PTFE-based coatings prepared in Examples 3-9 and Comparative Examples 1-3 respectively.

[0191] In the present invention, the hardness, friction and wear, and corrosion resistance of the substrate coated with the PTFE coating need to be tested to reflect these properties of the prepared PTFE-based coating.

[0192] The plates with PTFE-based coatings prepared in Examples 3-9 and the plates with PTFE-based coatings prepared in Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to hardness tests, friction and wear tests, and corrosion resistance tests.

[0193] Among them, for the hardness test, a Shore hardness tester (Type D) was used to measure the hardness of specimens with dimensions of 10 mm (length), 10 mm (width), and 2.1 mm (thickness). Measurements were taken at 5 positions on each specimen, with a load of 15 N and a holding time of 3 s, and the average hardness value was calculated. The variation range of the hardness value was within 10% of the average value.

[0194] For the friction and wear experiment, a pin-on-disk tribometer (HDM-200 type) was used to test the tribological properties of each group of coated specimens. The test device adopted a pin-on-disk contact form, and the counter-specimen material was 42CrMo. Five specimens were prepared for each example and comparative example, and the duration of each test was 60 min.

[0195] For the corrosion resistance test, an electrochemical workstation (Princeton PMC-1000A type) was used with a test frequency of 100 kHz to 10 mHz, an amplitude of 20 mV, and a scanning rate of 1 mV / s.

[0196] In the present invention, the friction and wear test and the corrosion resistance test of the composite plate coated with the PTFE-based coating were both carried out with seawater as the medium. Because only by carrying out the tests with seawater as the medium can it provide reference value for its later application in the marine field.

[0197] In the present invention, the filler refers to other raw materials except the PTFE matrix in the preparation of the PTFE-based coating. Specifically, it can be graphene, aramid, and polyimide.

[0198] During the preparation process, the properties of the intermediate products were also observed. Among them Figure 1 is the SEM image of the graphene powder (i.e., without any treatment of graphene) in the raw materials used in Examples 3-9 and Comparative Example 2. By observing Figure 1 it can be seen that the graphene powder has a semi-transparent sheet-like structure and no excessive stacking.

[0199] Figure 2 is the SEM image of the modified graphene powder prepared in Example 3. Among them, Figure 2 1 is graphene and 2 is copper nanoparticles. By observing Figure 2 it can be seen that Figure 2A large number of milky white copper nanoparticles are evenly adsorbed on the surface of graphene or embedded in the graphene sheets. The number of graphene layers is small, without agglomeration, and it shows an almost transparent form. By analyzing this figure, it can be seen that the thinner graphene layer can provide adsorption sites for copper ions, which is beneficial to the formation of copper nanoparticles. Moreover, after these adsorption sites adsorb copper ions, they also limit the aggregation of graphene. Thus, it can be proved that copper nanoparticles can effectively inhibit the agglomeration of graphene under van der Waals forces, enhance the dispersion of graphene in PTFE, and thereby improve the wear resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating.

[0200] Figure 3 It is the Shore hardness broken line graph of the composite plates obtained in Examples 3-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2. By analyzing Figure 3 it can be seen that the maximum amount of graphene added in Example 3 is 8 g, and the hardness of its composite plate is also the largest, which is 94.6. Graphene was not added in Comparative Example 1, so its hardness is the smallest, which is 76.3. Thus, it is proved that graphene can increase the hardness of the prepared PTFE-based coating. And in the PTFE-based coatings prepared in Examples 3 to 7, as the amount of graphene added gradually decreases, the hardness of the composite plates also gradually decreases. Therefore, in the actual preparation process, the hardness of the prepared PTFE-based coating can be controlled by controlling the amount of graphene. And when the amount of graphene added reaches 4 g, the hardness of the composite plate reaches 92.7 at this time. From the broken line graph, it can be seen that from Example 3 to Example 5, as the amount of graphene increases, the increasing trend of its hardness weakens.

[0201] In addition, by analyzing Example 5 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that the amount of graphene added in Example 3 and Comparative Example 2 is the same. The difference is that graphene was modified in Example 3, while graphene was not modified in Comparative Example 2. The hardness of the composite plate in Example 5 is 92.7, and the hardness of the composite plate in Comparative Example 2 is 89.5. The difference in hardness between the two is not large. Therefore, it shows that the modification of graphene has little effect on its hardness.

[0202] Figure 4 It is the friction coefficient curve of the composite plates prepared in Examples 3-9 and Comparative Examples 1-2 of the present invention under dry friction conditions. Figure 5 It is the bar graph of the wear rate of the composite plates prepared in Examples 3-9 and Comparative Examples 1-2 of the present invention under dry friction conditions.

[0203] By analyzing Figure 4 and Figure 5Analysis shows that the friction coefficient and wear rate of Comparative Example 1 are the largest, indicating that the PTFE-based coating prepared in Comparative Example 1 has the worst friction and wear resistance. The main reason is that graphene is not added in Comparative Example 1. Therefore, adding graphene can effectively enhance the wear resistance of the prepared PTFE-based coating. In addition, the friction coefficients and wear rates of the composite plates in Examples 3-9 are lower than those of the composite plates in Comparative Examples 1-2. This shows that modified graphene has a significant enhancing effect on the friction and wear resistance of the PTFE-based coating.

[0204] By analyzing the friction coefficients and wear rates of the composite plates in Examples 5 to 8, it can be seen that when the addition amount of graphene is in the range of 0.5 g - 4 g, as the amount of graphene increases, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composite plate gradually decrease. When the addition amount of graphene is 4 g, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composite plate are the lowest. Specifically, the friction coefficient is 0.124 and the wear rate is 3.4×10 -5 mm 3 / Nm.

[0205] By analyzing Examples 3 to 5, it can be seen that when the addition amount of graphene increases from 4 g to 8 g, as the addition amount of graphene increases, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composite plate increase. Therefore, in the actual operation process, the addition amount of graphene can be selected as 4 g, which can ensure that the prepared PTFE-based coating has good wear resistance.

[0206] Figures 6 to 9 Figure shows the surface morphologies of the worn track positions of the composite plates in different examples. Among them, Figure 6 Figure shows the surface morphology of the worn track position of the composite plate in Example 8; Figure 7 Figure shows the surface morphology of the worn track position of the composite plate in Example 9; Figure 8 Figure shows the surface morphology of the worn track position of the composite plate in Example 5; Figure 9 Figure shows the surface morphology of the worn track position of the composite plate in Comparative Example 3.

[0207] By analyzing Figures 6 to 9 it can be seen that compared with Examples 5, 8 and 9, Comparative Example 3 does not use a coupling agent. Combining with Figure 9 it can be known that the surface density of the worn track of the PTFE-based coating prepared in Comparative Example 3 is poor and there are many cracks. The main reason is that there is no coupling agent in Comparative Example 3, which will lead to poor interfacial bonding between the filler and the PTFE matrix. Under the action of friction force, it is easy for each filler to fall off from the PTFE matrix.

[0208] By comparing Figure 9 and Figure 6 it can be seen that Figure 6 the surface morphology of the worn track of the composite plate inFigure 9 The surface topography of the wear marks on the composite board is much flatter, and the crack propagation is also alleviated. This is because Figure 6 γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane coupling agent is used in , and the fluorine atoms on the surface of the PTFE matrix will repel the unshared electrons of the amino N in the γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane coupling agent, making it far away from the fluorine atoms. The H atoms in the amino group are attracted by the fluorine atoms and accept the unshared electron pair on the surface of the fluorine atoms, thus forming an intermolecular hydrogen bond, greatly reducing the repulsive force between the filler and the PTFE substrate, improving the organic-inorganic interface bonding strength, and thus achieving the improvement of its wear resistance. It can be seen from this that the wear resistance of the PTFE-based coating prepared by adding the coupling agent is much better than that of the PTFE-based coating without addition.

[0209] By comparing Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , it can be known that Figure 7 and Figure 8 compared with Figure 6 , the surface topography of the wear marks on the composite board in Figure 4 and Figure 5 is much lighter, and there are fewer cracks and pores, and the result is denser. The main reason is that the PTFE-based coatings in Example 9 and Example 5 both use fluorine-based coupling agents, and the C-F groups in the fluorine-based coupling agents are very similar to the C-F groups in the PTFE matrix. Therefore, in the mixing process, according to the principle of similar compatibility, the PTFE matrix modified with the fluorine-based coupling agent and the fillers (i.e., graphene, aramid, and polyimide) have good compatibility. For the PTFE-based coating modified with the fluorine-based coupling agent, during the sintering and plasticizing process, the C-F bond in the fluorine group has a higher compatibility between the filler and the PTFE matrix than the hydrogen bond in the amino group of the amino coupling agent. By combining

[0210] Figure 10 It can be known that the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composite board coated with the PTFE-based coatings in Example 9 and Example 5 are significantly lower than those in Example 8. From this, it can be concluded that during the preparation of the PTFE-based coating, the wear resistance of the PTFE-based coating prepared by adding the fluorine-based coupling agent is higher than that of the PTFE-based coating prepared by adding the amino coupling agent.

[0210] Figure 10 is the surface topography of the PTFE-based coating of the composite board in Example 5; Figure 11 is the surface topography of the PTFE-based coating of the composite board in Comparative Example 3. By comparing Figure 10 and Figure 11 , it can be known that after the PTFE-based coating in Example 5 is modified with the coupling agent graphene, the tissue morphology in the coating becomes denser. It can be seen from this that adding the coupling agent can reduce the micropores and cracks of the PTFE matrix itself, thereby improving its corrosion resistance.

[0211] Figure 12 The polarization curves of the composite plates prepared in Example 5, Example 8, Example 9 and Comparative Example 3 after being immersed in a 4% NaCl solution for 48 hours. As can be seen from Figure 12 the comparison between Example 5, Example 8, Example 9 and Comparative Example 3, it can be known that the corrosion potentials of Example 5, Example 8 and Example 9 shift towards more negative potentials, and the corrosion current density decreases significantly. Moreover, the closer the corrosion potential is to the negative potential and the lower the corrosion current density, the better its corrosion resistance. It can be seen that adding a coupling agent to the preparation of the PTFE-based coating can improve its corrosion resistance. Among them, Example 5 has the best corrosion resistance, and Comparative Example 3 has the worst corrosion resistance. Through the above experiments, it is confirmed that graphene modified by a coupling agent has an enhancing effect on the corrosion resistance protection performance of the PTFE-based coating.
