Abstract

The present invention discloses a composite material in which polyaniline is uniformly polymerized on the surface of graphene for use in water-based anti-corrosion coatings. The method uses hydrogen peroxide as an initiator to gently and uniformly polymerize aniline on the surface of graphene at room temperature. The composite material maintains the original lamellar structure of graphene and effectively fills the defective holes in the coating curing process. Polyaniline is adsorbed on the graphene surface to form uniform protrusions, which increases the surface roughness and prolongs the penetration path of the corrosive medium. At the same time, polyaniline weakens the mutual stacking between graphene flakes, and graphene also effectively reduces the agglomeration of polyaniline during polymerization, synergistically improving the dispersibility and anti-permeation barrier properties of the composite in water-based epoxy resin coatings. There is a strong interaction between the composite material and the epoxy resin, which makes it have good compatibility and stability. Finally, the redox property of polyaniline can form a passivation film on the steel surface, further improving the anti-corrosion performance of the coating.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation and application of metal anti-corrosion coatings, and relates to a preparation method and application of a polyaniline-doped graphene composite environmentally friendly water-based coating. Background Art

[0002] As metal corrosion poses increasing safety concerns, preventing it is crucial. Metal surface coatings are the most effective and widely used corrosion prevention method. Water-based coatings use water as a solvent, are free of volatile organic compounds, and are environmentally friendly. However, the presence of numerous hydrophilic groups and residual surfactants in water-based epoxy systems accelerates the penetration of corrosive ions and water molecules, weakening their barrier properties. Furthermore, the formation of pores and microporous defects during the curing process further reduces their impermeability, hindering their continued application.

[0003] Graphene's excellent chemical stability, rapid electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical properties, and strong adhesion and film-forming properties with polymer resins can synergistically improve the overall performance of coatings. However, graphene coatings still face significant challenges in practical applications. The inherent incompatibility between graphene and polymers leads to poor dispersion and even agglomeration of graphene sheets, which hinders the "maze effect" of graphene to prevent the diffusion of corrosive media in the coating and even accelerates the entry of corrosive particles. In the field of corrosion protection, polyaniline has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as low cost, simple synthesis, good electrical conductivity, and good environmental stability. However, due to its rigid structure, polyaniline aggregates irregularly during chemical polymerization, resulting in agglomeration, which cannot effectively exert its barrier properties in the coating. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantages of graphene and polyaniline in anti-corrosion coatings, the present invention prepares a polyaniline-doped graphene composite material, so that polyaniline is uniformly polymerized along the graphene surface, exerting the synergistic effect of the two. The composite material is added as a filler to a water-based epoxy coating to improve its dispersibility, compatibility and barrier properties in the water-based anti-corrosion coating, thereby enhancing the durability and anti-corrosion performance of the coating.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] A method for preparing a polyaniline-doped graphene composite environmentally friendly water-based coating, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] (S1) adding aniline to a hydrochloric acid solution and mixing and dissolving the mixture thoroughly, then uniformly mixing the aniline solution with the graphene dispersion, then adding hydrogen peroxide to the mixed solution for polymerization, and after the polymerization, filtering and washing the obtained polyaniline graphene composite material sample, and freeze-drying and collecting it.

[0008] (S2) After the polyaniline graphene composite material is uniformly dispersed in water, the composite dispersion is mixed with a water-based epoxy resin emulsion and stirred under vacuum conditions and then fully mixed. A water-based epoxy curing agent is added and the original sealing conditions are maintained and stirred evenly, and then the mixture is coated on the carbon steel surface and cured to obtain a polyaniline graphene composite coating.

[0009] Furthermore, the concentration of the graphene dispersion in step (S1) is 0.5 to 2 mg mL -1 , the volume is 20-200 mL. The amount of aniline added is 200-800 mg. The concentration of hydrochloric acid is 1 mol L -1 The volume is 20 mL. The amount of hydrogen peroxide added is 0.13-0.53 mL. The composite ratio of polyaniline to graphene dispersion is maintained at 5:1-20:1.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (S1), the dissolution time of aniline in hydrochloric acid is 30 to 60 minutes, the mixing time of aniline and graphene dispersion is 30 to 90 minutes, and the solution polymerization temperature is room temperature and the polymerization time is 12 to 24 hours.

[0011] Furthermore, the graphene dispersion in step (S1) is graphene or graphene oxide. The structure of the polyaniline graphene composite material is a rough lamellar structure in which uniform polyaniline particles grow on the wrinkled surface of the graphene.

[0012] Furthermore, in step (S2), the polyaniline graphene composite material is uniformly dispersed in water using ultrasonic dispersion for 2 to 4 hours, with a water mass of 1 to 3 grams. The aqueous epoxy resin emulsion and the composite mixture are mixed under vacuum stirring for 2 to 5 hours while maintaining a sealed state under the action of a vacuum pump. The aqueous epoxy curing agent and the aqueous epoxy resin mixture are mixed under vacuum stirring for 20 to 60 minutes.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (S2), the composite coating is applied automatically or manually, with a thickness of 30 to 40 μm. The composite coating is cured for 4 to 8 days at room temperature and 6 to 24 hours at high temperature, with a high-temperature curing temperature of 65 to 85°C.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (S2), the mass ratio of the water-based epoxy emulsion to the water-based epoxy curing agent is 2:1. The solids content of the water-based epoxy emulsion is maintained at 50-53%, and the solids content of the water-based epoxy curing agent is maintained at 42-46%. The mass of the added composite material is calculated based on the solids content. The mass fraction of the added polyaniline-graphene composite material is 0.1-1%.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The composite maintains the original lamellar structure of graphene, and polyaniline is adsorbed on the graphene surface to form uniform protrusions, which effectively fills the defective holes in the coating curing process, extends the penetration path of the corrosive medium, and improves the coating's impermeability.

[0017] 2. Polyaniline weakens the stacking of graphene sheets, and graphene also effectively reduces the agglomeration phenomenon during polyaniline polymerization, synergistically improving the dispersibility of the composite in water-based epoxy resin coatings.

[0018] 3. The strong interaction between the polyaniline-graphene composite and epoxy resin results in excellent compatibility and stability. The redox properties of polyaniline form a passivating film on the steel surface, further enhancing the coating's corrosion resistance. The polyaniline-graphene composite waterborne epoxy coating exhibits excellent density and impermeability, demonstrating satisfactory long-term corrosion protection.

[0019] 4. During the preparation process, the coating uses water as the solvent, no organic solvents are used, and there are no volatile organic compounds, which is environmentally friendly and pollution-free. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
