Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of functional coating technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing an underwater self-healing superhydrophilic resistance-reducing antibacterial scale-inhibiting and anti-wax coating. Background Technology
[0002] Superhydrophilic surfaces, as unique surfaces with extreme wettability, have broad application prospects in fields such as antifouling, drag reduction, scale inhibition, wax prevention, and separation of oily wastewater. The process of preparing coatings using a single hydrophilic polymer through a one-step spraying method is widely used due to its simplicity, cost reduction, and time-saving advantages. However, in real-world working environments, organic coatings are easily damaged, leading to loss of effectiveness and even the loss of protection for the substrate. This increases repair costs and may create safety hazards. Furthermore, bacterial metabolism produces acidic or alkaline substances that can chemically react with superhydrophilic surfaces, causing surface performance degradation. For example, some materials are prone to dissolution or decomposition in acidic environments, weakening their superhydrophilicity and stability. Fluid resistance also significantly impacts equipment operating efficiency and economy; excessive frictional resistance can even cause coating cracking, creating safety hazards. Imparting antibacterial and self-healing capabilities to coatings is an effective method because it can repair damage under specific conditions, restore the coating's functionality and protective effects, and reduce bacterial adhesion, allowing it to maintain stability during practical applications. However, when the self-healing coating is in extreme underwater environments, the reversible dynamic bonds are easily affected by strong acids / bases and metal ions. This weakens its self-healing ability, making it unable to effectively repair damaged surface structures and severely impacting drag reduction. Furthermore, antibacterial substances cannot effectively and stably bond with the coating, thus losing its antibacterial properties.
[0003] Therefore, it is essential to develop a novel, superhydrophilic, multifunctional coating that can be stably repaired in extreme underwater environments using a layer-by-layer spraying process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention proposes a method for preparing an underwater self-healing, superhydrophilic, impedance-reducing, anti-scaling, and anti-wax coating.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] One of the technical solutions of this invention:
[0007] A method for preparing an underwater self-healing superhydrophilic resistance-reducing, antibacterial, scale-inhibiting, and anti-wax coating includes the following steps:
[0008] (1) Dissolve oily epoxy resin, octadecylamine and curing agent in an organic solvent and prepare epoxy resin-ODA substrate coating by coating method;
[0009] (2) A layer of polyethyleneimine (PEI) / epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC) emulsion is sprayed onto the epoxy resin-ODA substrate coating to obtain coating 1;
[0010] (3) Spray a layer of aldehyde-based carbon quantum dot ethanol solution onto the coating 1 to obtain coating 2;
[0011] (4) Repeat steps (2) and (3), and finally cure the obtained coating to prepare the underwater self-healing superhydrophilic resistance-reducing bacteria scale-inhibiting and wax-preventing coating.
[0012] Beneficial Effects: The method described in this invention enables the preparation of a thermally induced self-healing epoxy resin substrate through the ring-opening reaction of epoxy resin and curing agent without the use of surfactants. Then, an antibacterial substance and a hydrophilic polymer are mixed to prepare a stable emulsion for spraying, followed by the spraying of an aldehyde-based carbon quantum dot ethanol solution. This is repeated in a cycle to ultimately obtain an underwater self-healing superhydrophilic impedance-reducing antibacterial surface. This method of preparing an underwater self-healing superhydrophilic impedance-reducing antibacterial scale-inhibiting and anti-wax coating using a layer-by-layer spraying approach has the advantages of simplicity, speed, and large-scale production capability, solving the problems of complex and demanding preparation processes for underwater self-healing superhydrophilic impedance-reducing antibacterial scale-inhibiting and anti-wax coatings.
[0013] Optionally, the oily epoxy resin is a bisphenol A type epoxy resin or a bisphenol F type epoxy resin.
[0014] Furthermore, the bisphenol A type epoxy resin is selected from at least one of E42 epoxy resin or E44 epoxy resin; the bisphenol F type epoxy resin is F51 epoxy resin.
[0015] Optionally, the curing agent is a cashew nut phenol modified curing agent.
[0016] Optionally, the ratio of the oily epoxy resin, octadecylamine, curing agent and anhydrous ethanol is 1g:0.9g:0.25-1g:2mL.
[0017] Optionally, the mass ratio of polyethyleneimine (PEI) to glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC) in the polyethyleneimine (PEI) / epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC) emulsion is 1:(0.9-2).
[0018] Optionally, the concentration of the aldehyde-based carbon quantum dot ethanol solution is 10-70 g / L.
[0019] Furthermore, the preparation process of the aldehyde-based carbon quantum dots in the ethanol solution is as follows:
[0020] Aldehyde compounds were mixed with anhydrous ethanol in a sealed polytetrafluoroethylene bottle, and then heated, cooled, and centrifuged sequentially to obtain CQDs. -CHO .
[0021] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the aldehyde compound to anhydrous ethanol is 1:2;
[0022] Furthermore, the aldehyde compound is glutaraldehyde.
[0023] Furthermore, the conditions during the heating process are: heating at 150°C for 4 hours.
[0024] Optionally, the number of times steps (2) and (3) are repeated is 3-5 times;
[0025] The curing conditions are as follows: curing at 60-120℃ for 2-8 hours.
[0026] Optionally, the temperature during the spraying process in step (1) is 90°C; the temperature during the spraying processes in steps (2) and (3) is 60°C.
[0027] The second technical solution of this invention:
[0028] An underwater self-healing, superhydrophilic, impedance-reducing, antibacterial, scale-inhibiting, and anti-wax coating is prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.
[0029] Current superhydrophilic surfaces inevitably suffer microscopic or macroscopic damage during processing and use. Cracks formed on the surface or inside are difficult to repair and can fatally impact the performance of superhydrophilic surfaces (material strength, superhydrophilicity, and drag reduction). Furthermore, coatings prepared from single hydrophilic polymers still require further improvement in terms of wear resistance, oil and wax resistance, scale prevention, and drag reduction. Therefore, compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages and technical effects:
[0030] This invention uses an epoxy resin layer with thermally induced self-healing function as the adhesive layer. A stable emulsion formed by PEI and EPTAC, followed by aldehyde-based carbon quantum dots, is then sequentially sprayed onto the epoxy resin layer surface. The chemical reactions between epoxy and amine groups, and between amine and aldehyde groups, form a stable cross-linking, improving the physicochemical stability of the coating underwater. This results in a super-hydrophilic, drag-reducing, and antifouling surface with underwater self-healing capabilities. The coating of this invention uses ODA (Oxygen Demand Acid) to control the cross-linking density of the epoxy resin, improving the underwater repair and stability of the coating. Layer-by-layer spraying of hydrophilic polymers and aldehyde-based carbon quantum dots creates a hydrophilic antifouling and drag-reducing layer, thereby achieving stronger antifouling and drag-reducing performance. Furthermore, the chemical bonds formed by the reactions of epoxy and amine groups, and amine and aldehyde groups, create a stable network structure, improving surface abrasion resistance and underwater stability. Simultaneously, the thickness of the hydrophilic antifouling and drag-reducing layer is controlled by adjusting the number of spray layers, optimizing the antifouling and drag-reducing performance of the hydrophilic layer. By leveraging its enhanced drag-reduction properties and stable hydrophilic polymer network structure, the surface wear resistance is further improved. Furthermore, the aldehyde residues on the carbon dot surface undergo a Schiff base reaction with the primary amine of PEI to generate dynamic imine bonds, exhibiting self-healing properties. Combined with the self-healing properties of the epoxy resin layer, both the hydrophilic and epoxy resin layers of the coating possess self-healing capabilities, significantly extending the service life of the coating surface. When the coating is immersed in water, the three-dimensional cross-linked network formed by PEI and aldehyde carbon dots undergoes a certain degree of water absorption and swelling, forming a lubricating layer of a certain thickness, similar to fish skin mucus, which greatly reduces the coefficient of friction, thereby improving the drag-reduction effect. The hydrophilicity of the coating is enhanced by introducing epipropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC). Moreover, EPTAC is a quaternary ammonium salt with low toxicity, low irritation, and excellent antibacterial properties. The introduction of EPTAC endows the coating with bactericidal characteristics. Simultaneously, due to the positive charge effect of the quaternary ammonium salt, it not only forms a dense positive electric field effect in the hydrophilic layer but also forms positively charged molecular brushes on the coating surface. This design not only utilizes the positive electric field effect to repel the adsorption and deposition of metal ions on the surface, but also employs the superhydrophilicity of the molecular brush structure and the assisted movement of fluids to inhibit the adhesion of mineral crystals to the coating surface, achieving a dual enhancement of the coating's anti-fouling performance. The introduction of epipropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTAC) enhances the surface's hydrophilicity, allowing water droplets to spread more quickly and improving the surface's oleophobicity. Combined with the dynamic molecular brush structure on the surface, this synergistic effect improves the coating's anti-wax properties.
[0031] Furthermore, when the surface hydrophilic layer consists solely of PEI, all surface properties, including hydrophilicity, anti-waxing, anti-fouling, and drag reduction, decrease. Surface wear resistance also declines, and there is no antibacterial property, making it unable to inhibit bacterial growth on the surface. This is detrimental to the coating's antifouling and drag reduction properties. Similarly, when the hydrophilic layer lacks glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride, the surface hydrophilicity decreases, water droplet spreading time is prolonged, and antibacterial properties are also absent. When PEI, glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride, and aldehyde-based carbon quantum dots are mixed simultaneously, a gel quickly forms, making further spraying impossible. Therefore, it cannot be used to prepare superhydrophilic coatings. Thus, a layer-by-layer spraying process is essential. Attached Figure Description
