Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of coating technology, specifically relating to a self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen appliances are exposed to heavy oil fumes for extended periods, coming into contact with large amounts of oil fumes, acidic and alkaline food ingredients, seasonings, and other pollutants. This makes it easy for grease or food residue to adhere to the surface and interior of the appliances. Over time, this can become a breeding ground for bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms, resulting in unpleasant odors, serious health risks, and a very poor user experience.

[0003] Stainless steel is a common base material for kitchen appliances, and achieving easy-to-clean surfaces is a goal pursued by the industry. Currently, common easy-to-clean coating technologies mainly include hydrophobic non-stick coatings. Hydrophobic non-stick coatings include fluorocarbon coatings, UV-cured fluorocarbon coatings, and silicone coatings. These coatings contain abundant fluorosilicone groups in their resin structure, which tend to migrate to the surface after curing. These migrating fluorosilicone groups have low surface energy, and this low surface energy characteristic allows the coating to achieve low adhesion of oil stains.

[0004] However, most commercially available low surface energy coatings have an oil contact angle of less than 90°, which does not achieve true oleophobicity. Therefore, oil stains will still adhere to the surface, and it is difficult to completely clean stubborn oil stains, such as those on the stainless steel surface of range hoods. In addition, during the use of hydrophobic and easy-to-clean coatings, their surfaces are easily damaged by chemical substances such as light and ozone, as well as by external forces, leading to coating failure. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, coating materials with only superhydrophobic and easy-to-clean properties can no longer meet the increasingly demanding product usage environments.

[0005] Based on the above problems, in order to improve the overall performance of kitchen appliances, it is of great practical significance to develop a self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material that has excellent hydrophobicity, scrub resistance and antibacterial properties after curing. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material, its preparation method, and its application. The self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material has excellent adhesion to stainless steel substrates, and the coating formed after curing has high hardness, excellent hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance, antibacterial properties, and self-healing properties, thereby effectively protecting stainless steel substrates and improving the performance and service life of kitchen appliances.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material, the self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material comprising catechin-modified perfluoropolyether siloxane, polydopamine microcapsules and fluorinated solvent A;

[0009] The shell material of the polydopamine microcapsules includes polydopamine, and the core material includes polyalkyl organometallic salts.

[0010] First, the self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material provided by this invention includes catechin-modified perfluoropolyether siloxane; wherein, perfluoropolyether siloxane generally refers to a type of polymer whose main chain contains repeating COC ether bonds and whose hydrogen atoms in the main chain are completely replaced by fluorine atoms. The special molecular structure endows it with extremely low surface tension (about 11 to 22 mN / m), good hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and low coefficient of friction. Using it as a base material and modifying it with natural catechin as an antibacterial agent to produce catechin-modified perfluoropolyether siloxane can effectively improve the antibacterial properties of the coating and further improve the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and scratch resistance of the coating material surface;

[0011] Secondly, the self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material provided by this invention also includes polydopamine microcapsules, and the shell material of the polydopamine microcapsules is defined as polydopamine, and the core material is defined as an organometallic salt. It is understood that microcapsule technology uses phase polymerization, in-situ polymerization and interfacial polymerization technology to encapsulate the modifier with polymer materials, thereby forming a composite modifier with a coating structure, which can prevent the influence of the external environment. Moreover, the microcapsules have a small size and a large specific surface area, which can be more compatible with the matrix material. Furthermore, due to the protective effect of the wall material on the core material, the loss of the core material can be reduced, further improving the performance.

[0012] This invention incorporates polydopamine microcapsules with polydopamine as the shell material and polyalkyl organometallic salts as the core material. Dopamine (DA) is a synthetic mussel adhesive protein that is readily oxidized and spontaneously polymerizes to form polydopamine (PDA) under alkaline conditions (pH greater than 7.5). The PDA achieves strong adhesion and deposition effects through the formation of hydrogen bonds, metal ligands, and quinone charge-transfer complexes, without requiring complex equipment or harsh reaction conditions. The polyalkyl organometallic salts possess a nonpolar long-chain structure and excellent hydrophobic properties. When the coating is damaged, the polyalkyl organometallic salts hidden within the PDA escape under high-temperature conditions, thereby enabling the coating to possess self-healing capabilities.

[0013] In summary, the present invention uses the above two materials in combination to achieve excellent adhesion between the resulting self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material and the stainless steel substrate. The coating formed after curing has high hardness, excellent hydrophobicity, abrasion resistance, antibacterial properties, and self-healing properties, which can effectively protect the stainless steel substrate and improve the performance and service life of kitchen appliances.

The self-healing and easy-to-clean coating material was sprayed onto the surface of the cleaned stainless steel plates. After standing at room temperature for 5 minutes, the plates were placed in an oven and cured at 130°C for 40 minutes to form a self-healing and easy-to-clean coating on the surface of the stainless steel plates.

[0100] (5) Compared with Example 1, the amount of sodium dodecyl sulfonate added in the polydopamine microcapsules used in the coating material provided in Example 4 is relatively too high, resulting in low coating hardness and water contact angle. The water contact angle is also low after wiping and after heat treatment, and the self-healing property is poor. In contrast, the amount of sodium dodecyl sulfonate added in the polydopamine microcapsules used in the coating material provided in Example 5 is relatively too low, which also results in low water contact angle of the coating after wiping and after heat treatment, and poor self-healing property.

[0101] (6) Compared with Example 1, the amount of polydopamine microcapsules added in the coating material provided in Example 6 is relatively low, resulting in poor self-healing properties of the coating. After wiping and heat treatment, the water contact angle of the coating decreases significantly. In contrast, the amount of polydopamine microcapsules added in the coating material provided in Example 7 is relatively high, resulting in low hardness and water contact angle of the coating, poor hydrophobicity, and similar self-healing properties.
