Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of superhydrophobic materials, and particularly relates to a superwear-resistant superhydrophobic columnar body and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Superhydrophobic materials have shown important application potential in fields such as power equipment, aerospace, and transportation facilities due to their unique anti-icing properties (such as delaying ice formation and reducing ice adhesion). In the prior art, anti-icing superhydrophobic materials are mostly realized in the form of surface coatings. For example, micro-nano rough structures are constructed on the surface of a substrate through chemical etching or nanoparticle modification, and are supplemented with modification by low surface energy substances. However, such coatings have significant limitations: First, the surface superhydrophobic coating is prone to structural failure under mechanical wear (such as sand and ice particle impact) or extreme environments (such as salt spray and ultraviolet rays), resulting in a sharp decline in anti-icing performance; Second, the interfacial bonding force between the coating and the substrate is weak, and it is prone to peeling during the long-term cyclic ice formation-deicing process, unable to meet the requirements of long-term outdoor service; Third, traditional coatings are difficult to achieve three-dimensional design in the thickness direction, and the material lacks uniform superhydrophobic characteristics inside. Once the surface is worn, the overall function is lost.
[0003] Compared with the manufacturing processes of superhydrophobic thin films and coatings, the three-dimensional synthesis of superhydrophobic columnar bodies with a considerable thickness / height has better prospects and value, but is more difficult in the forming manufacturing process. Superhydrophobic columnar bodies show more excellent adaptability under extreme environmental conditions, with excellent corrosion resistance and anti-mechanical impact ability. In addition, even if the surface of the columnar body is slightly mechanically damaged, self-repair can be achieved through the characteristics of the same quality inside and outside, thus broadening its application range. Although existing superhydrophobic blocks / columnar bodies have problems such as low structural strength, non-uniform surface energy, complex preparation processes, poor environmental protection, and difficulty in recycling, the above work has initially demonstrated the great potential of three-dimensional superhydrophobic columnar bodies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a superwear-resistant superhydrophobic columnar body and a preparation method thereof.
[0005] A superwear-resistant superhydrophobic columnar body, wherein the superhydrophobic columnar body is composed of a polymer and superhydrophobic nanoparticles inside the polymer; the mass ratio of the polymer to the superhydrophobic nanoparticles inside the polymer is 100:(6 - 18); the polymer is room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (RTV), fluorosilicone resin or epoxy resin.
[0006] The preparation raw materials of the superhydrophobic nanoparticles include a modification liquid and a particle dispersion liquid, and the mass ratio of the modification liquid to the dispersion liquid is 1:(50 - 70).
[0007] The modified liquid is prepared from a low surface energy modifier and anhydrous ethanol, wherein the mass ratio of the surfactant to the anhydrous ethanol is 1:(5-10); the low surface energy modifier is perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (PFDTMS) or n-octyltriethoxysilane (OTS).
[0008] The particle dispersion is prepared from nanoparticles and anhydrous ethanol, wherein the mass ratio of the nanoparticles to the anhydrous ethanol is 1:(20-30); the nanoparticles are one or more of silicon dioxide particles, aluminum oxide particles, and zinc oxide particles; and the particle size of the nanoparticles is 10nm-40nm.
[0009] A method for preparing a super-wear-resistant super-hydrophobic column comprises the following steps:
[0010] (1) dissolving a low surface energy modifier in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a modified solution; at the same time, dispersing nanoparticles in anhydrous ethanol, and then performing ultrasonic oscillation to fully disperse the nanoparticles in the ethanol to obtain a particle dispersion solution;
[0011] (2) adding the modified liquid to the particle dispersion and continuously stirring on a heating table; repeatedly washing with ethanol and placing in a freeze drying oven, and after drying, obtaining super hydrophobic nanoparticles;
[0012] (3) fully mixing the super-hydrophobic nanoparticles and the polymer, and stirring on a stirring table to make the nanoparticles uniformly dispersed in the polymer to form micelles;
[0013] (4) loading the micro-micelles prepared in step (3) into a polytetrafluoroethylene forming mold, compacting the material using a stamping platform, and then placing the block in an oven for continuous curing;
[0014] (5) The formed blank is taken out from the polytetrafluoroethylene mold on a bench platform with the aid of a demoulding fixture, and is fully cleaned with anhydrous ethanol and naturally dried to obtain a superhydrophobic column.
[0015] In step (1), a low surface energy modifier and anhydrous ethanol are mixed, and stirred at a speed of 500 to 1000 r / min for 5 to 15 minutes to obtain a modified liquid; nanoparticles and anhydrous ethanol are mixed, and ultrasonic oscillation is performed for 20 to 40 minutes to obtain a particle dispersion.
[0016] In step (2), the modified liquid is added to the particle dispersion and stirred at a speed of 500 to 1000 r / min for 10 to 30 hours on a heating table at 50 to 70°C.
[0017] In step (3), the stirring conditions are: first stirring at 400-600 r / min for 2-5 min, then increasing the speed to 1800-2400 r / min and stirring for 3-6 min.
[0018] The parameters of the stamping are 0.4 - 0.6 MPa, 1 - 2 Hz, and 3 min; after stamping, the blank is placed in an oven at 50 - 60 °C and cured for 96 h.
[0019] In step (5), the pre - forming mold and the demolding fixture are soaked in a 1 - 5% SW - 1 n - hexane solution and dried; the forming mold is a cylindrical shell with a wall thickness of 2 mm, an inner diameter of 30 mm, and a height of 30 mm.
[0020] Advantages of the present invention: The super - wear - resistant and super - hydrophobic columnar body of the present invention is prepared from a polymer and super - hydrophobic nanoparticles in the polymer. Adding super - hydrophobic nanoparticles to the polymer enables the super - hydrophobic nanoparticles to be largely distributed and uniformly dispersed in the system, which provides a stable rough geometric structure and chemical properties of low surface energy, making the stamping columnar body have the property of super - hydrophobic surface. At the same time, the introduction of super - hydrophobic nanoparticles reduces the interfacial gaps inside the polymer, which can reduce the loss of the columnar body during the wear process. Due to the homogeneous property of the inside and outside of the stamping forming, the super - hydrophobic columnar body has excellent liquid - repellent properties both inside and outside, significantly improving the durability of the super - hydrophobic columnar body and extending the service life of the coating. The super - hydrophobic nanoparticles provide the super - hydrophobic columnar body with extremely low surface energy and hydrophobicity, which further enhances the anti - icing performance of the columnar body. At the same time, the added super - hydrophobic nanoparticles can greatly delay the ice - formation time of water droplets on the coating surface, making the super - hydrophobic columnar body have a longer ice - formation time. The super - hydrophobic columnar body can achieve a sustainable utilization process of self - regeneration cycle. By grinding the scrapped super - hydrophobic columnar body into particles for reuse, an environmentally friendly and efficient recycling scheme is developed, which is of great significance for the future problem of a large number of super - hydrophobic materials being retired or failing. The preparation method of the wear - resistant and super - hydrophobic columnar body of the present invention has a controllable process, and the prepared product has stable quality, and is suitable for large - scale industrial production. The super - hydrophobic columnar body obtained by stamping forming has excellent wear - resistant performance, and at the same time has the characteristics of restricting surface ice - formation and delaying the ice - formation process, and has an extremely low ice adhesion strength in the cyclic freezing / de - icing.

[0082] Experimental Example 1 Surface Wettability Test
[0083] Referring to the surface contact angle / rolling angle standard measurement test (the contact angle test uses the ISO 19403-2 international standard to measure the static contact angle by the sessile drop method, and the rolling angle test uses the inclined platform method to measure), the rolling angle tests are respectively carried out on the columnar bodies prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and the medium is demineralized water. The contact angle and rolling angle test results are shown in Figure 2 .
[0084] From Figure 2 It can be seen that the contact angles of Examples 1, 2, and 5 are significantly larger than those of the superhydrophobic columnar bodies in the comparative examples, and the rolling angles of Examples 1, 2, and 5 are significantly smaller than those of the superhydrophobic columnar bodies in the comparative examples, indicating that the super wear-resistant and superhydrophobic columnar body described in the present invention has more excellent liquid repellent performance. This is because the surface of the superhydrophobic columnar body prepared in the present invention is continuous and complete, and the nano-components are distributed in large quantities and uniformly dispersed in the system, which provides a stable rough geometric structure. At the same time, due to the low surface energy chemical properties of the hydrophobic modified nano-components, the stamped columnar body has the property of superhydrophobicity on the surface.
[0085] Experimental Example 2 Abrasion Resistance Test
[0086] Select the ASTM D4060 type Taber abrasion tester and the rigid ceramic grinding wheel H-18 to evaluate the abrasion resistance of the material under a load of 1000 g. Each rotation is regarded as one abrasion cycle, and the change in the wettability of the material after 1000 abrasion cycles is measured and recorded. The test results are shown in Figure 3 .
[0087] From Figure 3 It can be seen that after 1000 abrasion cycles of the 1000 g grinding wheel for the superhydrophobic column bodies of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1, the surface contact angle is still higher than 145°, and the rolling angle is lower than 15°. In particular, the contact angles of the superhydrophobic column bodies of Examples 1-3 are still above 150°. By comparison, it can be known that the abrasion resistance of the superhydrophobic column bodies of Examples 1-2 is significantly higher than that of other columns. It shows that the super wear-resistant and superhydrophobic column body of the present invention has stronger mechanical abrasion resistance.
[0088] Analysis shows that the superhydrophobic column body is composed of a continuous porous RTV three-dimensional structure and three-dimensionally dispersed SiO2 (18 wt%) particles superimposed without residue. Nano-SiO2 particles are the most commonly used reinforcing agents for room temperature vulcanized silicone rubber RTV, but the SiO2 with -OH on its surface has poor affinity with the RTV polymer and is prone to intermolecular slip and fracture under external force. The active -OH and OTS enable the nano-particles to be coated with an organic monolayer under the action of the condensation reaction, thereby improving the wettability, uniform dispersion and interfacial bonding strength with the non-polar macromolecules of RTV. At the same time, the stamping process is used to realize the directional arrangement and densification combination of the nano-fillers and the matrix material, so that the superhydrophobic column body has super wear-resistant characteristics, which not only retains the advantages of low energy consumption and high compatibility of the traditional process, but also endows the material with superhydrophobic characteristics through microstructural design.
[0089] Experimental Example 3 Anti-icing Test
[0090] Take the super wear-resistant and superhydrophobic column bodies prepared in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 as the experimental group, use a polytetrafluoroethylene through mold with an inner diameter of 10 mm and a height of 15 mm as the ice freezing carrier, place the carrier horizontally at -10 °C and fill it with water, and record the ice adhesion strength of each "icing-deicing" process through a thrust tester after freezing for 3 hours. Measure the contact angle afterwards and test the change relationship of the ice adhesion strength during 20 cycles of icing / deicing. The test results are as Figure 4 shown.
[0091] From Figure 4It can be seen that in Examples 1 and 2, the ice adhesion strength is less than 20 kPa within 5 freeze / thaw cycles, and is about 30 kPa at 20 cycles. The ice adhesion strength increases with the increase of the number of cycles. In Examples 3 - 5, the ice adhesion strength is less than 30 kPa within 5 freeze / thaw cycles, and less than 50 kPa at 20 cycles. The ice adhesion strength increases with the increase of the number of cycles. The ice adhesion strength of Comparative Examples 1 - 3 is higher than 60 kPa at 20 freeze / thaw cycles. It shows that the superhydrophobic columnar bodies prepared in Examples 1 - 5 of the present invention have lower ice adhesion strength, indicating that the superwear-resistant and superhydrophobic columnar bodies prepared by the present invention have more excellent anti-icing and ice resistance performance.
