However, the cement in the building is exposed to the natural environment and is eroded by rain for a long time. When the weather is cold in winter, the water remaining on the surface of the cement will freeze, which not only brings inconvenience to the user, but also causes damage to the cement structure, thereby affecting the durability of the building. In addition, dust often adheres to the surface of the building during use, which will affect the aesthetics of the building if not cleaned in time. SUMMARY

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] The present embodiment is a method for preparing a fluorocarbon resin super-hydrophobic coating, which is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0034] S1 modified filler:

[0035] A mixture solution of deionized water and absolute ethanol with a volume ratio of 5:1 was stirred uniformly and poured into a beaker, 3 g of nano-silica was added into the beaker, and after stirring and ultrasonic dispersion for 15 min, the nano-silica was uniformly dispersed in the mixed solution to obtain a dispersion liquid. Then 15 wt.% of KH570 (γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane) was added dropwise into the nano-silica dispersion liquid, and ultrasonic dispersion (60 kHz) was performed for 10 min to make it uniformly dispersed. Then the beaker was placed in a water bath at 70°C and heated and stirred for 5 h at a speed of 350 r / min. After the heating was completed, the beaker was cooled to room temperature, and a centrifuge was used for centrifugation (10000 RPM, 1 h), and then the supernatant was poured out and then washed with absolute ethanol to remove unreacted KH570. The speed of the centrifuge was set to 10000 r / min, and finally the super-hydrophobic nano-silica powder was obtained after drying in an oven at 80°C for 8 h.

[0036] The mass ratio of the nano-SiO2 and KH570 is 10:1;

[0037] The mass ratio of the sum of the nano-SiO2 and KH570 to ethanol and deionized water is 1:15;

[0038] S2 coating slurry preparation: the modified filler prepared in step S1 was quickly stirred in a N-methyl pyrrolidone solution of PVDF for 10 min at a stirring speed of 500 rpm to form a uniformly dispersed coating slurry system. The concentration of PVDF was 1%-5%, and the concentration of SiO2 was 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15% respectively, and 25 groups of samples were obtained through cross test. Through contact angle test, sandpaper rubbing experiment, pencil scratching experiment, and adhesion experiment, two groups of samples with parameters of 4% PVDF-12% SiO2 and 5% PVDF-9% SiO2 were further selected. The prepared sample coating was uniform and the surface no longer peeled off.

[0039] S3 coating preparation: an absolute ethanol solution of epoxy resin was used as a primer (the mass ratio of epoxy resin, diethylene triamine, and absolute ethanol was 1:0.1:2), and the primer was first sprayed onto the surface of the cement, and after curing, the coating slurry was sprayed, and after curing, a hydrophobic coating was obtained. The curing temperature of the primer was 20°C, and the curing time was 2 h; the curing temperature of the coating slurry was 80°C, and the curing time was 1 h. The adhesion grade and hardness of the coating were analyzed, the contact angle was tested, and the corrosion immersion experiment was performed to determine the influence of the primer on the performance of the coating.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The difference from example 1 is that the N-methylpyrrolidone solution in step S2 is replaced by hexamethylphosphoric triamide, and the remaining raw materials and preparation methods are the same as those of example 1. The coating sample prepared in this example is relatively uniform, but peeling occurs on the surface.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] The difference from example 1 is that the primer in step S3 is replaced by epoxy resin, diethylene triamine and anhydrous ethanol in a mass ratio of 10:1:20. The remaining raw materials and preparation methods are the same as those of example 1. The coating sample prepared is relatively uniform, but peeling occurs on the surface.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] The difference from example 1 is that the curing temperature of the primer in step S3 is room temperature (20℃), and the curing time is changed to 6h. The others are the same as example 1. The surface of the sample prepared no longer peels off, but the coating is uneven.

[0046] Example 5

[0047] The difference from example 1 is that the spraying in step S3 is replaced by dipping. The others are the same as example 1. The coating sample prepared is uneven and the surface no longer peels off.

[0048] In summary, the super-hydrophobic coating prepared in the example of the present application not only has ice resistance, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, but also has good physical and chemical stability and excellent mechanical properties. At the same time, because the adaptability with different primers is studied, the combination of the coating and cement is effectively improved, which has a wide application prospect in civil engineering.
