TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of exterior wall coatings and relates to a super-insulation aerogel exterior wall coating and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In today's construction industry, the thermal insulation performance of exterior wall coatings is increasingly valued, especially in the context of global climate change and rapid increase in energy consumption. Reasonable exterior wall insulation design not only can significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings, but also can improve the comfort of living, becoming an important consideration in modern architectural design. Traditional exterior wall coatings usually rely on reflective materials, although they can reflect part of the solar radiation, but their thermal insulation effect is generally limited, especially in extreme temperature conditions, often cannot meet the comfort requirements of living environment.
[0003] Existing thermal insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam and polystyrene, although have some performance in thermal insulation, but have obvious shortcomings in fire resistance, environmental stability and service life. These materials are easily degraded in high temperature or humid environment, leading to the decline of thermal insulation effect, and even may release harmful substances, affecting indoor air quality. In addition, many traditional coatings are easily aged, peeled off when exposed to ultraviolet light and climate change, increasing the maintenance cost, and have insufficient ability to adapt to environmental changes, limiting their wide application.
[0004] Under this background, aerogel gradually becomes a new favorite of building materials due to its ultra-low thermal conductivity and lightweight characteristics. Aerogel is a kind of porous material with extremely high specific surface area, which can achieve significant thermal insulation effect in a relatively thin coating. However, the brittleness and hygroscopicity of aerogel significantly limit its application potential in building exterior wall coatings. Therefore, it is an urgent task to develop a new type of aerogel modified exterior wall coating to improve its strength and waterproof performance. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a super thermal insulation aerogel exterior wall coating and a preparation method thereof. The present application comprehensively utilizes silica aerogel, graphene / manganese dioxide porous network, rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles and ionic liquid modified LDH nanosheets, combines multiple modification methods and synergistic effects, and significantly improves the thermal insulation, water resistance, weather resistance and comprehensive performance of the coating. The silica aerogel is modified by the modifier HY-6085 and has excellent thermal insulation and hydrophobicity; the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide realizes thermochromic response by adjusting lattice defects, and the silica coating and fluorine-containing polymer modification improve the anti-aging performance; the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network provides high strength and multi-level pore structure, and realizes super hydrophobicity and self-cleaning performance through surface modification; the ionic liquid modified LDH nanosheet forms a dense barrier structure by expanding the interlayer spacing, and is compounded with polyacrylonitrile fibers to enhance the mechanical properties of the coating film.

[0094] In a second aspect, the present application provides a super-insulating aerogel exterior wall coating. The super-insulating aerogel exterior wall coating comprises a silicone oil emulsion, a pre-modified silica aerogel powder, a super-hydrophobic graphene / manganese dioxide porous network, tungsten trioxide thermochromic particles, and LDH-fiber nanosheets.
[0095] In the present application, silica aerogel is introduced. Silica aerogel is a highly dispersed porous material prepared by nanoscale silica particles through sol-gel method and supercritical drying process, and its structure has unique micro characteristics. First, the specific surface area and porosity of silica aerogel are high, and the internal pores are mainly nanoscale network structure, which gives it extremely low density. The three-dimensional network structure formed by the connection of nanoparticles makes the thermal conductivity of aerogel much lower than that of traditional materials, so that the occurrence of solid heat conduction can be significantly inhibited. At the same time, the free volume inside its nanopores limits the freedom of movement of gas molecules, reduces the average free path of gas molecules, and effectively hinders the convective heat transfer and thermal diffusion of gas, thereby further reducing the thermal conductivity of gas. These characteristics make silica aerogel an excellent thermal insulation material, which can provide the main thermal insulation function in coatings.
[0096] In addition, the light weight of silica aerogel is also an important advantage of its application in building coatings. Because most of the volume of aerogel is filled with air, its density is only a small part of that of traditional thermal insulation materials, which makes the coating significantly reduce the load of the building structure when applied, thereby improving the overall structural safety and durability of the building.
[0097] However, silica aerogel still faces some key problems in practical application, which limits the full play of its performance. First, the surface of aerogel contains a large number of silanol groups, which make its surface have strong hydrophilicity, so that the aerogel is easy to adsorb water in a humid environment. Once water enters the pore structure inside the aerogel, it will greatly increase its thermal conductivity, seriously weakening its thermal insulation performance. In addition, the polar nature of silanol groups also leads to poor interfacial compatibility between aerogel and hydrophobic organic emulsion systems. This interfacial incompatibility can cause problems such as poor dispersion, local aggregation and performance uniformity of the coating. Second, because the essence of aerogel is inorganic material, its surface energy is high, which is easy to cause interfacial segregation with organic matrix, thereby reducing the overall stability of the composite coating.
[0098] To this end, a modifier HY-6085 is used in the present application to modify the surface of the silica aerogel. Its molecular chain contains both hydrophilic polyether segments and hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane segments, forming an amphiphilic structure. The polyether segment is composed of repeating ethoxy units, which have high hydrophilicity and can interact with polar groups in the emulsion system through hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces, thereby significantly enhancing the interfacial compatibility between inorganic aerogel particles and the organic emulsion matrix. On the other hand, the polydimethylsiloxane segment is composed of siloxane bonds and methyl groups, which exhibit low surface energy and high hydrophobicity, effectively shielding the silica hydroxyl groups on the surface of the aerogel, significantly improving its hydrophobicity.
[0099] HY-6085 reacts with the silica hydroxyl groups on the surface of the silica aerogel through hydrolysis-condensation at the end of its molecular chain, forming stable covalent bonds and a layer of chemically bonded organic-inorganic composite shell on the surface of the aerogel.
[0100] The surface of the modified aerogel changes from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Due to the presence of the hydrophobic layer, water molecules are difficult to penetrate into the internal pores of the aerogel, effectively preventing the increase in thermal conductivity caused by water intrusion, ensuring the stability of its thermal insulation performance in humid environments; secondly, the introduction of the amphiphilic shell reduces the polarity and surface energy of the aerogel surface, allowing it to better disperse in the organic emulsion, avoiding particle agglomeration and improving the uniformity and stability of the coating system; in addition, the presence of the modified shell provides the aerogel particles with a certain degree of flexibility, reducing the fragmentation or pulverization phenomenon caused by brittleness during the mixing and coating of the coating, thereby improving the overall mechanical properties and durability of the coating.
[0101] In the present application, tungsten trioxide particles are introduced as fillers to give the coating the function of dynamically adjusting heat management. Tungsten trioxide is a typical transition metal oxide with unique thermochromic properties. The tungsten atoms in its crystal structure usually exist in a six-coordinated form. When the material is subjected to external stimuli such as heating or light, the electronic structure of the tungsten-oxygen bond changes significantly, with the conduction band electrons jumping within the crystal. This transition directly affects the absorption or reflection ability of tungsten trioxide to near-infrared light, thereby achieving dynamic adjustment of near-infrared optical properties. This property manifests itself as a thermochromic effect in the coating, and by adjusting the near-infrared reflectivity, tungsten trioxide can effectively reduce the absorption of solar radiation heat by the coating, allowing the building surface to maintain a dynamic balance with the environment temperature, thereby significantly reducing the heat load inside the building. However, the thermochromic response temperature of traditional tungsten trioxide materials is usually high, which limits its application at room temperature. Therefore, in order to achieve a thermochromic response at a lower temperature than traditional tungsten trioxide, the present application modifies the tungsten trioxide particles through rare earth doping technology.
[0102] The introduction of rare earth elements can significantly improve the thermochromic performance of tungsten trioxide. The mechanism lies in the partial substitution of tungsten atoms in the tungsten trioxide lattice by rare earth ions during the doping process. Due to the large ionic radius and low oxidation state of rare earth ions, this lattice substitution inevitably introduces oxygen vacancies to maintain the electrical neutrality balance of the crystal. The formation of oxygen vacancies has a significant impact on the localized electron concentration of tungsten trioxide. Specifically, as electron donor centers, oxygen vacancies can significantly enhance the electron mobility and carrier concentration within the crystal, thereby accelerating the electron transition and rearrangement during the thermochromic process. The introduction of this lattice defect improves the thermochromic sensitivity of tungsten trioxide. In addition, rare earth element doping can also reduce the band gap of tungsten trioxide by adjusting its energy band structure. This narrowing of the energy band allows tungsten trioxide to have improved near-infrared optical response sensitivity in the appropriate temperature range, thereby meeting the dynamic management needs of building exterior coatings in high-temperature environments.
[0103] To further optimize the dispersibility and environmental stability of rare earth-doped tungsten trioxide particles, the present invention uses a silica shell to coat them, forming a dense silica shell on the particle surface. This inorganic shell has multiple functions: first, the silica shell can effectively isolate the direct contact between rare earth-doped tungsten trioxide particles, preventing particle agglomeration during coating preparation and storage, thereby significantly improving particle dispersibility; second, the silica shell can protect the particles on both physical and chemical levels, isolating the damage to the tungsten trioxide lattice caused by ultraviolet light, and slowing down the performance degradation of the material due to photochemical reactions or environmental oxidation. This coating strategy not only improves the environmental stability of the particles, but also provides a guarantee for their long-term performance in complex coating matrices.
[0104] Based on the silica shell, the present invention further introduces a fluorine-containing polymer outer layer on its surface to further enhance the hydrophobicity and weather resistance of the particles. Specifically, a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer is used as the modification material and is adsorbed on the surface of the silica shell through intermolecular forces. The low surface energy property of vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer is derived from the large number of fluorine atoms in its molecular structure, which endows the material with high chemical inertness and excellent ultraviolet aging resistance. During the grafting process, the vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer is combined with the silica shell surface through van der Waals forces, ensuring the stability of the modified layer. The fluorine-containing polymer outer layer not only further reduces the surface energy of the particles, making them super-hydrophobic, but also effectively prevents the intrusion of water molecules and other corrosive substances, significantly improving the weather resistance and anti-aging performance of the particles.
[0105] In the present invention, graphene / manganese dioxide porous network is introduced as a functional filler for coating, whose unique structure and excellent performance significantly improve the thermal insulation and mechanical properties of the coating. The preparation of the material first constructs a three-dimensional graphene skeleton by chemical vapor deposition method. CVD method forms intercrosslinked graphene layers by cracking and depositing carbon atoms on the foam nickel substrate at high temperature with methane as carbon source. This three-dimensional graphene skeleton has a very high specific surface area, and its unique honeycomb structure endows the material with excellent mechanical strength and pressure resistance, which can provide mechanical reinforcement for the overall structure in the coating system. In addition, the porous network structure of the three-dimensional graphene skeleton provides an ideal carrier and support framework for subsequent manganese dioxide deposition.
[0106] On the surface of the graphene skeleton, manganese dioxide nanowires are introduced by electrochemical deposition method to further improve the specific surface area and porosity of the material. During the electrochemical deposition process, manganese ions are reduced to one-dimensional manganese dioxide nanowires in the electrolyte, which are uniformly deposited on the surface of graphene to form a hierarchical porous structure. The introduction of manganese dioxide not only increases the number and total pore volume of the material, but also provides multiple scattering effects of infrared radiation through its unique hierarchical pore channels. This scattering effect significantly prolongs the propagation path of infrared thermal radiation in the coating, thereby effectively reducing the heat transfer efficiency and enhancing the thermal insulation performance of the coating. In addition, the synergistic effect of graphene and manganese dioxide is produced: the graphene skeleton provides a high-strength three-dimensional support framework, and its porous structure provides the basis for heat scattering and absorption. The introduction of manganese dioxide further refines the pore structure, increases the scattering path of heat in the pore channel, and inhibits the direct transfer effect of heat.
[0107] In order to further improve the waterproofness, self-cleaning performance and environmental stability of graphene / manganese dioxide porous network, the surface of the present invention is modified. First, a uniform polydopamine coating is formed on the surface of the porous network by the oxidative self-polymerization of dopamine. Dopamine molecules can spontaneously undergo oxidation and polymerization under weak alkaline conditions, and finally form a uniform polydopamine coating layer. The polydopamine coating is rich in various active functional groups on its surface, including amino, hydroxyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups, which provide abundant reaction sites for subsequent chemical grafting.
[0108] On the basis of the polydopamine coating, a hydrophobic fluoropolymer coating is introduced on the surface of the porous network by UV-induced radical polymerization of fluorine-containing monomers. Specifically, the fluorine-containing monomers generate free radicals under UV irradiation, which undergo polymerization with the active groups on the surface of polydopamine, forming a chemically bonded hydrophobic coating. Due to the presence of a large number of C-F bonds in the fluorine-containing monomer molecules, this coating exhibits extremely low surface energy and excellent chemical stability. The contact angle of the modified graphene / manganese dioxide porous network surface is significantly improved, achieving superhydrophobic properties. This superhydrophobic surface can effectively prevent water penetration, thereby reducing the erosion of the internal structure of the coating by rainwater and avoiding structural collapse due to water absorption. In addition, the superhydrophobicity significantly improves the self-cleaning ability of the coating, making it difficult for rainwater or dust to adhere to the surface of the coating, thereby maintaining the long-term cleanliness and aesthetics of the coating.
[0109] More importantly, this surface modification not only improves the waterproofing and self-cleaning performance of the porous network, but also significantly enhances the weather resistance of the material. The low surface energy and chemical inertness of the fluoropolymer coating enable the material to withstand strong UV radiation and harsh environmental chemical corrosion, thereby maintaining the long-term stability of its performance.
[0110] In the present invention, layered double hydroxide nanosheets are introduced as functional fillers, which significantly enhance the water resistance and overall durability of the coating due to their unique layered structure and adjustable chemical properties. LDH is a typical two-dimensional layered material, with a basic structure of a sheet-like crystal structure formed by stacking positively charged metal hydroxide layers, and the interlayer is filled with exchangeable anions and water molecules. This unique layered property enables LDH to form a dense water-resistant barrier in the coating, and the arrangement of its layers effectively extends the diffusion path of water molecules and corrosive ions in the coating film through the "brick wall effect", thereby preventing the penetration of water and corrosive media, significantly improving the durability and corrosion resistance of the coating film. However, the original LDH has a small interlayer spacing, which limits its compatibility with the organic matrix in the coating, as well as the dispersion and water resistance of LDH in the coating. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the LDH nanosheets by intercalation to adjust their interlayer spacing and interfacial chemical properties.
[0111] In the present application, ionic liquid is used as intercalating agent to modify the interlayer of LDH through ion exchange. Ionic liquid is a kind of molten salt composed of organic cations and inorganic or organic anions, which has high chemical stability, low volatility and good thermal stability. During the intercalation reaction, the original anions in the interlayer of LDH are gradually replaced by the action of ionic liquid, and the bulky organic cations in the ionic liquid are introduced into the interlayer of LDH, which significantly expands the interlayer spacing. The expansion of the interlayer spacing not only improves the dispersibility of LDH nanosheets in the coating matrix, but also forms a more compact physical barrier structure by expanding the interlayer spacing, further improving the performance of LDH as a water-blocking barrier. In addition, the introduction of ionic liquid also changes the surface chemical properties of LDH, reducing its surface energy and improving its interfacial compatibility with the organic coating matrix. The modified LDH nanosheets can form a highly uniform dispersion state in the coating, avoiding the agglomeration between the layers, and further optimizing the water-blocking performance of the coating and the mechanical stability of the coating film.
[0112] In order to further improve the application performance of LDH in coatings, the present application also introduces polyacrylonitrile fibers to form a nanoscale fiber network through electrospinning technology, and combines with LDH nanosheets to construct a high-strength composite network structure. Polyacrylonitrile fibers have excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, and their nanofiber network not only provides additional mechanical reinforcement to the coating, but also acts as a "scaffold" for LDH nanosheets at the microscale. Specifically, polyacrylonitrile fibers are combined with modified LDH nanosheets through physical entanglement to form a highly stable organic-inorganic composite structure. This composite structure effectively avoids the sedimentation or re-aggregation of LDH layers in the coating, and at the same time gives the coating film higher tensile strength and toughness. In addition, the presence of polyacrylonitrile fibers further prolongs the diffusion path of water and corrosive ions in the coating film, forming a synergistic effect with the barrier effect of the LDH layered structure, thereby significantly improving the overall water resistance and corrosion resistance of the coating.
[0113] There is also a synergistic enhancement effect in the present application. The graphene / manganese dioxide porous network and the LDH nanosheet respectively play a barrier role in the coating through different physical and chemical mechanisms, but the functional complementarity between the two can produce a significant synergistic effect. The main role of the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network is to provide a three-dimensional support framework with high mechanical strength, while scattering infrared radiation through its multi-level channels and extending the heat transfer path, thereby achieving thermal insulation function. The LDH nanosheet forms a "brick wall effect" through its layered structure, effectively preventing the penetration of moisture and corrosive ions. The synergistic effect of the two additives is reflected in the following two aspects: the channel structure of graphene / manganese dioxide and the sheet structure of LDH work together to hinder the transmission path of heat and moisture in the coating, respectively. The porous network of graphene / manganese dioxide provides optical scattering of heat, while the dense sheet of LDH further extends the diffusion path of moisture and corrosive ions, thereby forming multiple protection in physical barrier function; secondly, the LDH nanosheet has a certain tendency to aggregate in the coating system, while the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network acts as a three-dimensional support framework, which can effectively disperse the LDH nanosheet and avoid its aggregation. At the same time, the introduction of LDH nanosheet can fill the small pores of graphene / manganese dioxide porous network, thereby further optimizing the overall density and barrier performance.
[0114] The rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles and the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network have different mechanisms in thermal insulation function, the former dynamically regulates the near-infrared reflectivity through the thermochromic property, and the latter extends the heat radiation path through the multi-level channel structure. The synergistic effect of the two is mainly reflected in the following aspects: the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles can adjust the reflectivity of near-infrared light according to the change of external temperature, thereby reducing the absorption of solar radiation heat. This dynamic thermal management function can actively regulate heat in high temperature environment. While the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network further reduces the heat transfer efficiency through its static multi-level channel structure and infrared scattering effect. The combination of this dynamic and static thermal insulation mechanism enables the coating to exhibit more excellent thermal insulation performance in complex environments; secondly, the graphene / manganese dioxide porous network provides a high-strength support framework for the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles, which can effectively prevent the particles from settling and aggregating in the coating, while enhancing the dispersibility of the particles in the coating matrix. This synergistic effect ensures the thermochromic performance and dispersion stability of the coating in long-term use.
[0115] The LDH nanosheets and the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles respectively play the functions of water blocking barrier and dynamic thermal management, and the two in the coating system complement each other through different mechanisms to form a synergistic effect of heat shielding and durability improvement. Specifically, the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles need to maintain long-term stability in the dynamic thermal management process, and the layered barrier effect of the LDH nanosheets not only prevents the penetration of external moisture and corrosive ions, but also provides uniform distribution in the coating matrix, effectively slowing down the aging and performance degradation of the particles; the LDH nanosheets prolong the diffusion path of moisture and corrosive ions through the "brick wall effect", and in combination with the dynamic thermal management function of the rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles, a multifunctional barrier system integrating heat insulation, water blocking and corrosion resistance is constructed.
[0116] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0117] The present application significantly improves the comprehensive performance of the coating by introducing silica aerogel and using modifier HY-6085 for surface modification. Aerogel provides excellent thermal insulation performance and lightweight characteristics due to its high specific surface area and porous structure, but its strong hygroscopicity and poor interfacial compatibility due to the surface silicon hydroxyl limit its application effect. The modifier enhances the compatibility of aerogel with organic matrix through amphiphilic molecular structure, and imparts hydrophobicity by shielding silicon hydroxyl. The modified aerogel maintains thermal insulation performance in a humid environment, and the dispersibility and mechanical properties are significantly improved, ensuring the stability and durability of the coating;
[0118] The present application imparts dynamic thermal management function and high environmental stability to the coating by rare earth doped tungsten trioxide particles and silica coating and fluorine-containing polymer modification. The introduction of oxygen vacancies and the adjustment of energy band structure by rare earth doping enable tungsten trioxide to realize thermochromic response at a lower temperature than traditional tungsten trioxide; the silica shell layer prevents particle agglomeration and improves ultraviolet resistance and oxidation resistance; the fluorine-containing polymer further enhances hydrophobicity and weather resistance. Multiple modifications synergistically optimize the thermal insulation, durability and stability of the coating;
[0119] The present application significantly improves the thermal insulation, waterproofness and weather resistance of the coating by constructing a graphene / manganese dioxide porous network and surface modification. The three-dimensional graphene skeleton provides high specific surface area and mechanical strength, and the electrochemically deposited manganese dioxide nanowires form hierarchical pores, enhancing thermal radiation scattering and achieving excellent thermal insulation. Through modification by polydopamine coating and fluorine-containing polymer coating, the network surface obtains superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning ability and ultraviolet aging resistance, comprehensively improving the stability and durability of the coating;
[0120] The present application significantly improves the water resistance, corrosion resistance and durability of the coating by introducing ionic liquid modified LDH nanosheets and polyacrylonitrile fiber composite network. The ionic liquid intercalation expands the LDH interlayer spacing, improves the dispersibility and interfacial compatibility, and forms a dense physical barrier structure through interlayer spacing expansion, so as to form a high-efficiency 'brick wall effect' water barrier; the polyacrylonitrile fiber builds a nanofiber network through electrospinning, which not only improves the mechanical properties of the coating film, but also provides a scaffold for LDH, effectively avoiding sheet aggregation.

[0182]
[0183] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that when the aerogel modification step in S1 is omitted, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.25 W / (m·K), because the unmodified aerogel has poor dispersibility in the fluorosilicone emulsion and forms agglomerates, increasing the heat conduction channels; the solar reflectance decreases to 75%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 82%, because the aerogel agglomeration leads to uneven light scattering, reducing the optical performance of the coating; obvious discoloration and peeling occur in the acid and alkali resistance test, and bubbling, rusting, and cracking occur in the salt spray resistance test, because the interfacial bonding force between the aerogel and the matrix is weak, and local damage is easily formed in the corrosive environment;
[0184] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that when the tungsten trioxide rare earth doping step in S21 is omitted, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.18 W / (m·K), because the agglomeration of undoped tungsten trioxide particles increases the local heat conduction; the solar reflectance decreases to 70%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 78%, because the undoped tungsten trioxide has decreased optical performance and thermochromic response sensitivity, affecting the regulation effect of radiation heat transfer; the acid and alkali resistance and salt spray resistance do not change significantly;
[0185] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that when the fluoropolymer modification step in S22 is omitted, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.19 W / (m·K), because the interfacial performance has deteriorated, increasing the heat conduction; the solar reflectance decreases to 73%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 80%, because the increased surface wettability affects the light reflection and emission characteristics; obvious discoloration and peeling occur in the acid and alkali resistance test, and bubbling, rusting, and cracking occur in the salt spray resistance test, because the loss of the hydrophobic protective layer makes it easier for water and corrosive media to penetrate into the coating;
[0186] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that without adding the superhydrophobic graphene / manganese dioxide porous network, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.21 W / (m·K), because the lack of the porous network provides a heat conduction barrier; the solar reflectance decreases to 76%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 83%, because the loss of the porous structure's scattering effect on infrared radiation; discoloration and peeling occur in the acid and alkali resistance test, and obvious bubbling, rusting, and cracking occur in the salt spray resistance test, because the overall structural stability of the coating has decreased;
[0187] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, it can be seen that without adding the tungsten trioxide thermochromic particles, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.17 W / (m·K), because the temperature response regulation mechanism is lost; the solar reflectance decreases to 72%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 81%, because the lack of selective regulation components for visible and infrared light; the acid and alkali resistance and salt spray resistance do not change significantly;
[0188] From the test results of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that, without the addition of LDH-fiber nanosheets, the thermal conductivity of the coating increases to 0.16 W / (m·K), which is due to the lack of the heat conduction detour path provided by the layered structure; the solar reflectance decreases to 77%, and the hemispherical emissivity decreases to 85%, which is because the LDH layered structure loses the effect of extending the heat conduction path; obvious discoloration and peeling occur in the acid and alkali resistance test, and obvious blistering, rusting, and cracking occur in the salt spray resistance test, which is due to the lack of the fiber reinforcing phase, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the coating structure.
