Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of environmentally friendly functional materials, in particular to self-purification functional indoor coatings and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] At present, interior paint is not only used as a decorative material, but also plays a role in improving air quality. With people's pursuit of healthy life, paint with air purification function has received widespread attention. Such paints are usually prepared by special methods, adding functional ingredients with adsorption or decomposition effects to the paint matrix, giving it the ability to purify harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, etc., thereby improving the air quality of the living environment.
[0003] Existing self-purification functional coatings usually rely on ingredients such as activated carbon, photocatalysts or plant extracts to achieve air purification effects through physical adsorption, photocatalytic reactions, etc. For example, activated carbon coatings remove pollutants by adsorbing gas molecules, while photocatalytic coatings use the catalytic reaction of nano-titanium dioxide under ultraviolet light to oxidize and decompose pollutants into harmless substances. These coatings can remove pollutants such as formaldehyde and TVOC to a certain extent and reduce the concentration of harmful gases in the air.
[0004] However, the existing technology still has some shortcomings in practical applications. Among them, the purification effect of activated carbon coatings decreases after the adsorption reaches saturation, and pollutants cannot be removed continuously. Photocatalytic coatings usually rely on ultraviolet light sources, and the catalytic efficiency is limited under indoor natural light conditions, making it difficult to effectively play a purification role. In addition, the purification effect of some coatings is unstable in high humidity or complex environments, and it is easy to cause problems such as pollutant adhesion and weakened antibacterial effect, making it difficult to meet the needs of long-term use.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0061] Figure 1 The present invention is a flow chart of the method. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0062] The following will be combined with the drawings in the specification of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0063] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 The embodiment of the present invention provides a self-purifying functional indoor paint and a preparation method thereof, wherein the paint comprises the following components in parts by weight:
[0064] Activated carbon fiber: 2-4 parts.

[0072] Tea polyphenols: 1-2 parts. Tea polyphenols increase the paint's antioxidant and purification durability, and improve the paint's initial purification ability in the process of capturing and partially degrading pollutants.
[0073] Molecular sieve composite: 1-2 parts. The microporous structure of molecular sieve has selective adsorption, has strong adsorption effect on small molecular pollutants, and can classify gas molecules during the adsorption process, thereby improving the adsorption effect of the coating on complex pollutants in the air and extending the service life and purification stability of the adsorption layer;
[0074] Microcapsule-coated antibacterial agent: 1-2 parts. Microcapsule-coated antibacterial agent improves the antibacterial and anti-mildew effect of the coating, is suitable for use in humid environments, and ensures that the coating is clean for a long time;
[0075] Plant-extracted active ingredients: 1-2 parts. Plant-extracted active ingredients enhance the deodorizing and environmental performance of the coating, making it suitable for use in various indoor environments, especially in homes, offices and other long-term use scenarios;
[0076] Polyethylene glycol-polyether copolymer: 1-2 parts. Polyethylene glycol-polyether copolymer gives the coating an intelligent response function under humidity conditions, enhancing the coating's adaptability and environmental stability;
[0077] Acrylic acid modified polyurethane resin: 4-6 parts. Acrylic acid modified polyurethane resin enhances the adhesion and durability of the coating on various substrate surfaces and extends the service life of the coating.
[0078] Palladium or platinum nanocatalyst: 0.1-0.3 parts. Palladium or platinum nanocatalyst improves the catalytic efficiency and purification performance of the coating, ensuring a high purification effect in a low-temperature environment;
[0079] Water-based acrylic emulsion: 15-20 parts. Water-based acrylic emulsion improves the film-forming quality of the coating, making the coating process smooth and environmentally friendly.
[0080] Deionized water: 20-30 parts. Deionized water ensures the uniformity and environmental friendliness of the coating preparation process and avoids the effects of impurities on coating performance.
[0081] Film-forming aid: 1 to 3 parts. Film-forming aid helps the coating to achieve a firm adhesion effect on different substrates, reduces defects such as bubbles and cracks during the film-forming process, improves the overall quality and aesthetics of the coating, and enables it to maintain purification performance and surface integrity for a long time.
[0082] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the coating is composed of a multi-layer composite structure, and the material ratio of each layer includes:
[0083] Surface layer: activated carbon fiber, modified zeolite, chitosan, water-based silicone resin. The high specific surface area and porous structure of activated carbon fiber and modified zeolite can quickly adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia in the air. The amino groups in chitosan molecules can form hydrogen bonds with polar pollutant molecules to enhance the adsorption effect. The water-based silicone resin provides hydrophobicity to prevent dust and dirt from adhering, forming a lotus leaf effect. Through the lotus leaf effect, the surface can remain clean for a long time, extending the durability of the purification effect.
[0084] Photocatalytic purification layer: nano-titanium dioxide, nitrogen-doped zinc oxide, platinum or palladium nanoparticles. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light or indoor visible light, nano-titanium dioxide and nitrogen-doped zinc oxide produce electron-hole pairs, which react with moisture and oxygen in the air to generate hydroxyl radicals. These active substances can decompose pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene into carbon dioxide and water. Platinum or palladium nanoparticles further improve the efficiency of the photocatalytic process, especially at low temperatures or insufficient light, showing good catalytic performance, improving the removal rate of the coating for formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia, and will not produce secondary pollution, ensuring that the coating maintains its purification performance for a long time;
[0085] Adsorption-decomposition composite layer: titanium silicalite, tea polyphenols, molecular sieve composite. Titanium silicalite, as a porous material, has a strong adsorption capacity for small molecule harmful gases. The phenolic compounds in tea polyphenols have antioxidant properties and can initially oxidize pollutants. The molecular sieve composite effectively screens and captures pollutants of different molecular sizes through its microporous structure to achieve efficient purification. The multi-stage decomposition function prolongs the durability of the purification effect, ensuring the durability and versatility of the coating in complex environments.
[0086] Sustained-release layer: microcapsules encapsulate antimicrobial agents, active ingredients extracted from plants, and polyethylene glycol-polyether copolymers. Microcapsule technology enables the antimicrobial agent to be released gradually, effectively controlling the volatilization rate of the antimicrobial ingredients. The active ingredients extracted from plants have natural antimicrobial and deodorizing effects. Polyethylene glycol-polyether copolymers, as temperature and humidity responsive materials, can increase the release rate of antimicrobial agents under humid conditions, thereby improving the comprehensive protective effect and durability of the coating, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold, and ensuring the cleanliness of the air and wall environment;
[0087] Attached to the deep catalytic layer: acrylic modified polyurethane resin, palladium or platinum nanocatalyst, water-based adhesive. Acrylic modified polyurethane resin provides strong adhesion, allowing the coating to be firmly attached to substrates such as walls. Palladium or platinum nanocatalysts have catalytic effects and can accelerate the decomposition of harmful gases at low temperatures. Water-based adhesives ensure the bonding strength between coatings and improve overall stability. Through deep catalytic decomposition of pollutants, it ensures the thoroughness of the purification effect and improves the overall purification efficiency and life of the coating.
[0088] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the surface layer has a self-cleaning function, and an alternating structure of fluorinated polymer and siloxane is used to prevent the attachment of pollutants, giving the surface a lotus leaf effect. The combination of fluorinated polymer and siloxane gives the coating surface a low surface energy characteristic, making the surface highly hydrophobic. Fluorinated polymers have low surface energy and a smooth surface, which can effectively reduce the adhesion of water and pollutants on the coating surface, thereby reducing the cleaning frequency and maintenance requirements, improving the durability and aesthetics of the coating, and ensuring the stability and self-purification performance of the coating in long-term use.
[0089] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a self-purifying functional indoor paint, comprising the following steps:
[0090] S1. Material dispersion: Activated carbon fiber, modified zeolite, nano titanium dioxide, nitrogen-doped zinc oxide, platinum or palladium nanoparticles are dispersed in deionized water to form a uniformly dispersed solution. Through ultrasonic or high shear dispersion, the active ingredients are evenly distributed to form a stable dispersed solution, avoiding agglomeration problems, ensuring the effective distribution of each component and maximizing the final purification performance. The dispersed solution treated in this way ensures the activity of the material and the uniformity of the subsequent coating, which helps to improve the purification effect and durability of the coating;
[0091] S2. Matrix mixing: Mix water-based acrylic emulsion, deionized water and film-forming aids to form a fluid water-based matrix. The water-based acrylic emulsion provides a stable matrix during the film-forming process of the coating, allowing the material to be evenly distributed and film-formed; deionized water ensures the purity of the system and avoids the interference of impurities on the performance of the coating. The film-forming aid can promote the film-forming speed of the coating and the smoothness of the coating, so that the final coating has uniform thickness and finish;
[0092] S3, interlayer material mixing: add the surface layer, photocatalytic purification layer, adsorption-decomposition composite layer, slow-release layer and material components attached to the deep catalytic layer to the matrix in order according to the formula ratio, and perform high-shear dispersion stirring to evenly disperse the materials of each layer. The high-shear dispersion technology allows the components of each layer to be fully dispersed in the matrix to form a stable and uniform dispersion system, ensuring that the functional materials of each layer can be evenly attached and play their corresponding roles. By dispersing in sequence, cross-contamination between materials can be effectively avoided, and different functional layers can be independently layered during subsequent coating;
[0093] S4, multi-layer coating: coating in the order of surface layer, photocatalytic purification layer, adsorption-decomposition composite layer, slow-release layer and attached to the deep catalytic layer, and interlayer curing. The layered treatment of multi-layer coating can ensure the relative independence of each layer of functional materials, and the function of each layer will not be interfered with by the components of other layers. UV light curing can quickly make the coating film, while ensuring that the coating surface is smooth and firmly adhered. The multi-layer structure formed by this sequential coating and curing steps has higher physical stability and chemical durability;
[0094] S5. Overall curing and film formation: After coating, the coating is subjected to overall UV curing and low-temperature drying to form a stable multi-layer structure. Overall UV curing allows the coating surface to quickly harden and form a film, improving the scratch resistance and durability of the coating. Low-temperature drying can gradually eliminate residual moisture and solvents in the coating, ensure the stability of the coating's internal structure, avoid component decomposition caused by high temperature, and achieve the best adhesion effect of the coating.
[0095] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S1 further comprises:
[0096] Use an ultrasonic disperser to disperse activated carbon fiber, modified zeolite, nano titanium dioxide, nitrogen-doped zinc oxide, platinum or palladium nanoparticles in deionized water respectively, so that the active materials form a uniformly dispersed state. Ultrasonic dispersion makes the active materials evenly distributed in deionized water, ensuring that the particles do not agglomerate, maintain nanometer-level particle size, and increase the specific surface area and reaction activity of the active materials. This uniformly dispersed state enables the functional materials of the coating to fully exert their purification effect, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the coating in subsequent multi-layer coating;
[0097] All dispersed solutions are added to the mixed matrix in sequence to ensure uniform distribution of each component. The step-by-step mixing operation ensures the uniformity of the dispersed solution, allowing each component to be evenly embedded in the structure of the coating, improving the overall functionality and stability of the coating.
[0098] Please refer to the attached Figure 1In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S2 further comprises:
[0099] The aqueous acrylic emulsion and deionized water are placed in a stirrer in a certain proportion and stirred. The initial mixing of the aqueous acrylic emulsion and deionized water ensures that the matrix has a moderate viscosity and good fluidity, providing a stable dispersion environment for the subsequent addition of ingredients.
[0100] Adding film-forming aids and stirring to form a uniform water-based matrix to ensure the stability and fluidity of the matrix. The uniform distribution of film-forming aids makes the coating film-forming effect better, avoiding the performance degradation caused by uneven coating or film-forming defects. The water-based matrix formed after adding film-forming aids has stronger film-forming stability and fluidity, ensuring the smoothness of the coating during construction and the flatness of the coating after construction, and improving the quality and visual effect of the final product.
[0101] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S3 further comprises:
[0102] Surface material mixing: Add activated carbon fiber, modified zeolite, chitosan and water-based silicone resin to the matrix, use a high shear disperser to stir, and form a surface dispersion solution. Through high shear dispersion, the surface material forms a stable and uniform dispersion solution, ensuring the uniform distribution of each component. The surface solution provides good adsorption and self-cleaning properties for the coating, making its surface less likely to be covered by pollutants, thereby improving the purification effect and durability of the coating;
[0103] Mixing of photocatalytic purification layer materials: Add nano-titanium dioxide, nitrogen-doped zinc oxide, platinum or palladium nanoparticles in proportion, stir evenly, and form a photocatalytic layer dispersion solution. The photocatalytic purification layer dispersion solution forms a coating layer with high-efficiency photocatalytic performance, which can decompose pollutants under both natural light and artificial light, significantly enhance the purification function of the coating, and reduce the dependence on light conditions;
[0104] Adsorption-decomposition composite layer material mixing: titanium silicalite, tea polyphenols and molecular sieve complex are added to the matrix and stirred at high speed to form an adsorption composite layer dispersion solution. The uniform dispersion under high-speed stirring ensures the stability and durability of the adsorption-decomposition layer material, and improves the multi-level purification effect of the coating. This layer shows good adsorption and initial decomposition performance in a highly polluted environment, which prolongs the duration of the purification effect;
[0105] Mixing of sustained-release layer materials: Add microcapsule-coated antimicrobial agents, plant-extracted active ingredients, and polyethylene glycol-polyether copolymers to the matrix and stir at a low speed to form a sustained-release layer dispersion solution. The uniform dispersion under high-speed stirring ensures the stability and durability of the adsorption-decomposition layer materials, and enhances the multi-level purification effect of the coating. This layer exhibits good adsorption and initial decomposition performance in a highly polluted environment, extending the duration of the purification effect;
[0106] Adhesion to the deep catalytic layer material mixing: Add acrylic modified polyurethane resin, palladium or platinum nanocatalyst and water-based adhesive to the matrix, stir evenly to form an adhesion layer dispersion solution. After uniform stirring, the adhesion to the deep catalytic layer material forms a stable dispersion solution, which greatly enhances the adhesion of the coating on the substrate and ensures the deep catalytic decomposition ability. This layer provides strong adhesion and deep purification effect, improving the durability and long-term purification performance of the coating.
[0107] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S4 further comprises:
[0108] The coating is carried out in the order of surface layer, photocatalytic purification layer, adsorption-decomposition composite layer, slow-release layer and attached to the deep catalytic layer to ensure uniform coating thickness of each layer. Layered coating and precise thickness control can ensure that the functional materials of each layer can effectively play their role without being affected by other layers. The uniformity of thickness of each layer ensures the effective distribution of materials in each layer and avoids performance differences caused by uneven thickness. At the same time, uniform thickness control enables the function of each layer to be optimally exerted, improves the purification performance and service life of the overall coating, and ensures the stability and effect of the coating in practical applications;
[0109] UV light curing is performed after each layer is applied to ensure the independence and stability of each layer. UV light curing ensures that each layer forms a film quickly after coating, avoiding the mixing of materials and interference between layers, thereby ensuring the functional independence of each layer. This curing treatment method improves the overall wear resistance, adhesion and durability of the coating, ensuring that the coating can play a stable purification and protection role for a long time under complex environmental conditions.
[0110] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, S5 further comprises:
[0111] Overall UV curing: UV curing is performed on the multi-layer coating to make all layers completely film-formed. Overall UV curing can quickly excite the photosensitive groups in the coating material, so that the polymer chains in the coating form a cross-linked structure, thereby quickly hardening the entire coating. UV curing technology can complete the curing process of multi-layer coatings in a short time, forming a dense coating with high hardness, enhancing the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the coating, and effectively reducing the deformation and shrinkage of the coating caused by traditional curing methods;
[0112] Low-temperature drying: The cured coating is placed in a low-temperature environment to dry for 12 to 24 hours to further improve the hardness and durability of the coating. Low-temperature drying can avoid the damage of high temperature to the active ingredients in the coating, ensuring that the catalytic performance of active components such as nano-titanium dioxide and zinc oxide will not be inactivated by high temperature. During the low-temperature drying process, the moisture in the coating gradually evaporates, and will not cause drastic shrinkage or stress accumulation of the internal structure, so that the entire coating maintains density and flatness, extending the service life of the coating.
[0113] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after curing and drying, the coating has the ability to efficiently remove formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia, and can decompose the adsorbed harmful gases into carbon dioxide and water. Through photocatalytic decomposition technology, the coating can completely convert the adsorbed harmful gases into harmless small molecules, avoiding the saturation problem and secondary pollution risk of traditional adsorption materials. At the same time, the multi-layer composite structure provides a progressive purification effect, so that the coating can show excellent air purification performance under different environmental conditions. Moreover, through photocatalytic decomposition technology, the coating can completely convert the adsorbed harmful gases into harmless small molecules, avoiding the saturation problem and secondary pollution risk of traditional adsorption materials.

[0212] Control group A (ordinary water-based paint): The TVOC removal effect was almost not obvious, the TVOC concentration only decreased slightly, and the removal efficiency was less than 25% after 6 hours, indicating that it did not have significant TVOC removal ability.
[0213] Control group B (activated carbon coating): The TVOC concentration decreased within the first hour, but the adsorption effect gradually weakened afterwards. After 6 hours, the removal rate was about 38%, which failed to achieve efficient TVOC purification, and the adsorption effect decreased with time.

[0235]
[0236] From the data in Table 2, we can get:

[0246] Experimental procedures
[0247] Sample preparation:
[0248] The coatings of the experimental group and the control group were respectively applied on glass plates of the same area, and placed in a closed test box after curing and drying.
[0249] Pollutant release:
[0250] Introduce equal amounts of TVOC and formaldehyde mixed gas into the test chamber every 24 hours to ensure that the initial concentration remains constant (such as TVOC 5ppm, formaldehyde 2ppm) to simulate the indoor environment of a continuous pollution source.
[0251] Continuous monitoring:
[0252] TVOC and formaldehyde detectors were used to record the pollutant concentrations of each group every day for 30 consecutive days to observe the long-term purification effect of the coating.
