Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of metal rust prevention, and particularly relates to a mesoporous organosilicon nanocapsule with a spiral structure, a preparation method thereof and application thereof in metal rust prevention. BACKGROUND

[0002] A rust-proof coating is a simple method for forming a protective barrier on the surface of a metal to block corrosive media, and is widely used in the rust prevention of metal materials such as steel and copper. As a typical rust-proof coating, an epoxy coating can form a dense and tightly adhered film on the surface of a steel material, effectively isolating the corrosion of oxygen, water and other chemical substances, thereby providing good rust-proof performance. However, due to the volume shrinkage or release of volatile substances during the curing process of the epoxy resin, internal stress and voids are easily generated, which weakens the rust-proof effect. In view of the problem of easy damage and voids of the coating, an effective strategy is to construct a coating with a rust-proof self-repairing function, thereby avoiding the corrosion of corrosive media through the coating to corrode the metal material. It has been reported that mesoporous nanomaterials can adsorb and store corrosion inhibitors due to their internal pore structure; when the coating is damaged, the nanocapsule can repair the coating defects by releasing the corrosion inhibitor, thereby slowing down or preventing the corrosion reaction.

[0003] Mesoporous materials have adjustable pore size, high specific surface area, large pore volume and excellent biocompatibility, and have wide application value in adsorption separation, energy storage, catalysis and drug loading. Mesoporous silica is one of the materials that has been widely studied, especially mesoporous organosilicon nanorods with a spiral structure, which not only have a large pore volume and an ordered mesoporous structure, but also have a high specific surface area and a large pore volume, which can significantly improve the loading capacity of the mesoporous nanorod for corrosion inhibitors, and the organosilicon skeleton structure can improve the compatibility of the nanocapsule with the corrosion inhibitor and the dispersion ability in the epoxy resin. The mesoporous nanorod also has the advantages of easy molding, controllable material and morphology, and the spiral structure of the nanocapsule can improve the slow release ability of the nanocapsule for the corrosion inhibitor, thereby achieving persistent protection of the metal material. In addition, benzotriazole, dopamine hydrochloride, methyl imidazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole can form an inhibition interface at the defects of the epoxy coating, thereby improving the overall stability and corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating. The present application provides a mesoporous organosilicon nanorod with a spiral structure, which can further improve the stability and rust-proof performance of the epoxy coating by loading the corrosion inhibitor and combining with the epoxy resin, and has important significance in the field of coating rust prevention of steel and copper materials. SUMMARY
