Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of anti-fingerprint surface treatment, and in particular to a surface treatment process for an anti-fingerprint mobile phone back cover. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of smartphone technology, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the appearance and functionality of mobile phones. Among them, the back cover of the mobile phone, as a part that users frequently touch, not only needs to have a beautiful appearance, but also needs to have multiple functions such as anti-fingerprint, wear resistance, and antibacterial. However, the existing surface treatment technology for the back cover of mobile phones still has many shortcomings.
[0003] Traditional anti-fingerprint processing technology usually uses a single hydrophobic coating or nanostructured surface. Although these methods have improved the anti-fingerprint performance to a certain extent, it is often difficult to take into account other functional requirements. For example, a simple hydrophobic coating is prone to poor wear resistance and low light transmittance; while a nanostructured surface may affect the aesthetics and touch of the back cover of the mobile phone. In addition, the coatings in the prior art often lack long-term stability and are prone to failure during daily use.
[0004] In recent years, some researchers have tried to combine multiple functional materials to achieve multifunctional integrated surface treatment. However, these methods often face challenges such as poor compatibility between components, complex processes, and high costs. In particular, achieving super-hydrophobic and super-oleophobic properties while ensuring high transmittance has always been a difficult problem faced by those skilled in the art.

[0041] From the perspective of molecular structure and chemical mechanism, the long-chain fluorocarbon structure of fluorinated acrylate provides excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, while different types of nanoparticles construct a multi-level rough structure at the nanoscale. This special surface morphology combined with the low surface energy characteristics of fluorocarbon molecules achieves a stable super-hydrophobic state, thus bringing about super-hydrophobic and super-oleophobic effects. In particular, the introduction of graphene quantum dots not only enhances the mechanical properties of the coating through its unique two-dimensional structure, but also optimizes the optical properties through the quantum confinement effect, which is an unexpected synergistic effect.
[0042] In addition, the present invention also innovatively adopts plasma surface activation treatment and LED-UV curing technology. Plasma treatment produces active groups on the surface of the substrate, significantly enhancing the adhesion of the coating; while LED-UV curing technology achieves rapid and efficient cross-linking network formation while ensuring environmental friendliness.

[0066] The core of the present invention lies in the ingenious combination of a multifunctional nanoparticle composite system and a fluorinated acrylate mixture, as well as the synergistic effect with plasma surface activation and LED-UV curing processes. Let us delve into the chemical mechanism and synergistic effect between these components.
[0067] 1. Molecular design of fluorinated acrylate mixture:
[0068] The present invention uses three fluorine-containing acrylates with different structures: perfluorooctyl ethyl acrylate, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate and methyl trifluoroethyl acrylate. This design is based on the following considerations:
[0069] a) The long-chain structures of perfluorooctyl and perfluorodecyl provide extremely low surface energy, in which the high bond energy of the C-F bond (116 kcal / mol) and the high electronegativity of the fluorine atom lead to weak interactions between molecules, thus achieving excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
[0070] b) Fluorocarbon chains of different chain lengths can form staggered molecular layers, increasing the density and stability of the surface.
[0071] c) The introduction of methyltrifluoroethyl group increases the flexibility of the molecule while maintaining hydrophobicity, which is beneficial to the formation of a cross-linked network.
[0072] d) The acrylate group (C=CC=O) has high reactivity and can polymerize rapidly during UV curing to form a stable three-dimensional network structure.
[0073] 2. Multifunctional nanoparticle composite system:
[0074] a) Hydrophobic nanosilica: Surface-modified methyl or trimethylsilane groups (-Si(CH3)3) react with silanol groups (Si-OH) on the surface of silica to form a hydrophobic surface. These particles increase the surface roughness at the nanoscale and work synergistically with the fluorinated component to enhance the formation of the Cassie state.
[0075] b) Amino-modified nano-silica: The amino groups (-NH2 ) can form hydrogen bonds with the carbonyl group (C=O) of acrylate, enhancing the compatibility and interfacial bonding between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix. At the same time, the amino group can also participate in the UV curing process, further strengthening the cross-linking network.
[0076] c) Graphene quantum dots modified silica nanoparticles: This is a key innovation of the present invention. 2 The hybrid carbon atom network not only provides excellent mechanical strength, but also has a unique electronic structure. Its π electron cloud can form weak interactions with the fluorocarbon chain and acrylate group, enhancing the overall stability of the system.
[0077] 3. Plasma surface activation treatment:
[0078] Plasma treatment generates active free radicals and polar groups (such as -OH, -COOH) on the surface of the substrate. These active groups can react with polar functional groups in the coating (such as C=O of acrylate, -NH 2 ) form chemical bonds or strong physical interactions, significantly enhancing the adhesion of the coating.
[0079] 4.LED-UV curing process:
[0080] Under UV light, photoinitiators (such as 1173) decomposes to generate free radicals, which trigger the rapid polymerization of acrylate monomers. In this process, fluorinated acrylates of different chain lengths form a staggered network structure, and the nanoparticles serve as crosslinking points, further enhancing the strength and stability of the network. In particular, graphene quantum dots may be involved in the free radical transfer process, optimizing the crosslinking density and network structure.
[0081] 5. Synergistic effects and unexpected beneficial effects:
[0082] a) Superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties: The multi-scale rough structure constructed by nanoparticles and the low surface energy of fluorocarbon chains work together to form a stable superhydrophobic surface state. The presence of graphene quantum dots may further enhance this effect because its sheet-like structure provides an additional nanoscale hydrophobic surface.
[0083] b) High transmittance and low haze: Despite the introduction of a variety of nanoparticles, the system still maintains high transmittance. This may be due to the quantum confinement effect of graphene quantum dots, which have very low absorption in the visible light range and may enhance light transmission through scattering effects.
[0084] c) Excellent mechanical properties: The two-dimensional structure of graphene quantum dots forms a nano-enhancement effect in the coating, which significantly improves the wear resistance and impact resistance of the coating. At the same time, the multi-component cross-linked network provides additional mechanical strength.
[0085] d) Antibacterial properties: Although antibacterial properties were not considered in the initial design, the experimental results showed excellent antibacterial effects. This may be due to the unique structure of graphene quantum dots, which may destroy bacterial cell membranes through the dual mechanisms of physical penetration and chemical oxidation.
[0086] e) Improved electrical properties: The introduction of graphene quantum dots significantly reduces the surface resistance of the coating. This moderate conductivity not only helps to prevent static electricity, but also may suppress electromagnetic interference to a certain extent.
[0087] f) Improved thermal stability: The fluorine-containing component itself has good heat resistance, and the presence of graphene quantum dots may form a protective layer at high temperatures, further improving the thermal stability of the coating.
[0088] In summary, the present invention achieves multiple synergistic effects among the components through a carefully designed multi-component system. In particular, the introduction of graphene quantum dots has shown unexpected effects in many aspects, not only enhancing the basic properties of the coating, but also bringing additional functions such as antibacterial and conductive properties. This multifunctional integrated design concept and implementation method provides a new research direction and application prospect for the development of functional coatings.

[0095] Finally, the whole mixture was homogenized in a high-pressure homogenizer at a pressure of 80 MPa for 3 cycles and the temperature was controlled at 32° C. The mixture was then finely filtered using a 3 μm pore size polypropylene depth filter and degassed at a vacuum of -0.09 MPa for 20 min.

This structure synergizes with fluorinated acrylate to produce an excellent super-hydrophobic effect and significantly improves the anti-fingerprint performance. At the same time, the introduction of amino-modified nano-silica enhances the bonding force between the coating and the substrate, while the addition of graphene quantum dots improves the conductivity of the coating, which helps the uniformity of electrostatic spraying.

[0112] Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention, by increasing the content of hydrophobic nano-silica and amino-modified nano-silica, the hydrophobicity and adhesion of the coating are further enhanced. At the same time, increasing the amount of fluorinated acrylate, especially increasing the proportion of perfluorooctylethyl acrylate, significantly improves the oleophobicity of the coating. In addition, by adjusting the parameters of plasma treatment and UV curing, the crosslinking density and surface morphology of the coating are optimized, thereby achieving a more excellent anti-fingerprint effect and durability.

In particular, by optimizing the ratio of hydrophobic nano-silica, amino-modified nano-silica and fluorinated acrylate, the transparency and optical properties of the coating are improved while ensuring excellent anti-fingerprint performance. In addition, by adjusting the plasma treatment and UV curing parameters, the thermal impact on the substrate is reduced while ensuring the adhesion of the coating, making the process more suitable for heat-sensitive mobile phone back cover materials.

[0202] Results analysis and unexpected technical effects
[0203] 1. Super hydrophobic and super oleophobic properties: The embodiments of the present invention all exhibit excellent super hydrophobic and super oleophobic properties, with water contact angles reaching more than 165° and oil contact angles exceeding 145°. This excellent surface performance stems from the synergistic effect of the multifunctional nanoparticle composite system and the fluorinated acrylate mixture. In particular, the introduction of graphene quantum dot-modified silica nanoparticles not only enhances the conductivity of the coating, but also further increases the surface roughness at the nanoscale through its unique flaky structure, thereby achieving a stable Cassie state, which is an unexpected synergistic effect.
[0204] 2. Excellent wear resistance and adhesion: The coatings in the examples show excellent wear resistance and adhesion. This is mainly due to the plasma surface activation treatment and the formation of a multi-component cross-linked network. It is particularly noteworthy that the addition of graphene quantum dots significantly improves the mechanical strength of the coating, which may be due to the two-dimensional structure of graphene forming a nano-enhancement effect in the coating, which is an unexpected discovery.
[0205] 3. Excellent anti-fingerprint performance: The coating in the embodiment shows an extremely low fingerprint residual area ratio, which is not only due to its super hydrophobic and super oleophobic properties, but also closely related to the nanostructure of the coating surface. The multi-scale surface structure reduces the actual contact area between the fingerprint and the surface, while increasing the air barrier. This structural effect of the anti-fingerprint mechanism is an important innovation of the present invention.
[0206] 4. High light transmittance and excellent optical properties: Despite the introduction of a variety of nanoparticles, the coating of the present invention still maintains a high light transmittance of more than 90%. This is mainly due to the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles and the synergistic effect of the multi-component system. In particular, the addition of graphene quantum dots not only does not reduce the light transmittance, but slightly improves the light transmittance of the coating, which may be due to its unique optical properties, such as the quantum confinement effect, which is an unexpected discovery.
[0207] 5. Excellent chemical resistance: The coatings in the examples show excellent chemical resistance, which is mainly due to the synergistic effect of the fluorine-containing component and the multi-component cross-linked network. In particular, in the grease test, Example 3 did not even show any change in the contact angle, which shows that the coating has a strong ability to resist oil stains, which is particularly important for electronic devices used in daily life.
[0208] 6. Innovation in preparation process: The electrostatic rotary cup spraying system and LED-UV curing technology used in the present invention not only improve the quality and uniformity of the coating, but also significantly improve production efficiency and environmental friendliness. In particular, the combination of this process and the multi-component system achieves rapid curing while ensuring the formation of complex nanostructures. The synergistic effect of this process and the formula is another important innovation of the present invention.
[0209] In summary, the present invention realizes a mobile phone back cover surface treatment process with super hydrophobic and super oleophobic, high wear resistance, strong adhesion, excellent anti-fingerprint performance, high transmittance and excellent chemical resistance through the synergistic effect of multifunctional nanoparticle composite system, fluorinated acrylate mixture, plasma surface activation treatment and advanced spray curing process. This synergistic improvement of multiple performances, especially the realization of super hydrophobic and super oleophobic performance while maintaining high transmittance, is unpredictable for those skilled in the art. In addition, the unexpected effect of graphene quantum dots in enhancing the mechanical and optical properties of coatings provides a new research direction for the development of future functional coatings.

[0233]
[0234] Table 6: Electrical properties, haze and impact resistance test results
[0235]
[0236] Result analysis and new technical effects:
[0237] 1. Excellent weather resistance: After 1000 hours of accelerated aging test, the contact angle of Example 3 decreased by only 2.5%, the transmittance decreased by only 0.8%, and the color change was only 0.5ΔE. This shows that the coating of the present invention has excellent long-term stability and can maintain its function in various harsh environments. This improvement in weather resistance may be due to the dense network structure formed by the multi-component system and the absorption and scattering of UV light by graphene quantum dots, which is an unexpected discovery.
[0238] 2. Significant antibacterial performance: Example 3 has an antibacterial rate of 99.8% and 99.5% against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, respectively. This highly efficient antibacterial performance may be due to the synergistic effect of nano-silica and graphene quantum dots. In particular, graphene quantum dots may destroy bacterial cell membranes through a dual mechanism of physical penetration and chemical oxidation, which is an unexpected function.
[0239] 3. Excellent thermal stability: The thermal decomposition temperature of Example 3 reaches 398°C, which is much higher than that of the comparative example. This high thermal stability is not only due to the heat resistance of the fluorine-containing component, but also due to the fact that the graphene quantum dots form a protective layer at high temperatures, preventing further decomposition of the coating. This improvement in thermal stability is of great significance to the safety and durability of electronic devices.
[0240] 4. Improved electrical properties: The surface resistance of Example 3 is 7.0×10^8Ω / sq, which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the comparative example. This improvement in conductivity is mainly attributed to the introduction of graphene quantum dots. It is worth noting that this moderate conductivity not only helps to prevent static electricity, but also may suppress electromagnetic interference to a certain extent, which is of great significance for the performance optimization of modern electronic devices.
[0241] 5. Extremely low haze: The haze of Example 3 is only 0.5%, which is much lower than that of the comparative example. This combination of low haze and high light transmittance proves that the present invention achieves excellent optical performance while maintaining excellent functionality. This may be due to the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles and the synergistic effect of the multi-component system, which forms a special optical structure.
[0242] 6. Excellent impact resistance: The impact resistance height of Example 3 reaches 100 cm, which is much higher than that of the comparative example. This improvement in mechanical strength may be due to the formation of a multi-component cross-linked network and the strengthening effect of graphene quantum dots.
