Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of epoxy resin coating technology, specifically relating to a ZIF-8 derived ZnO@C composite material modified epoxy resin coating and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] To address the vibration and noise issues generated during the operation of key metal structures in hydropower stations, functional modification of epoxy resin coatings is a feasible research direction for achieving drag reduction and noise reduction.

[0003] Due to its unique molecular structure (containing epoxy groups and hydroxyl groups), epoxy resin coatings possess the following core advantages: high adhesion, mainly due to the hydrogen bonds that can be formed between the polar groups and the metal matrix; and excellent chemical inertness, with the cured coating resistant to corrosion from acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. However, the main drawbacks of epoxy resin coatings are high brittleness, susceptibility to microcracks, and noise generation during flow.

[0004] Metal-organic framework (MOF)-derived composites inherit the advantages of MOFs, combining the high porosity and tunable pore structure of MOFs with the excellent physicochemical properties of ZnO and porous carbon materials. ZnO@C composites can be prepared directly using zinc-based MOFs as precursor templates via pyrolysis under an inert atmosphere. Because ZnO@C composites retain many advantages of MOFs, they hold promise as an excellent nanofiller for modifying epoxy resin coatings.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention proposes a method for modifying epoxy resin coatings. The core of this method is to use ZnO@C composite material modified with silane coupling agent to modify epoxy resin coatings, which can achieve a balance between hardness and toughness, while also reducing drag and noise. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a ZIF-8 derived ZnO@C composite material modified epoxy resin coating and its preparation method, thereby achieving the functionalization of epoxy resin coating for drag reduction and noise reduction.

[0007] The modified epoxy resin coating obtained by this invention can be used for the protection of flow-through components such as key metal structures of water turbines.

[0008] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A method for preparing a ZIF-8 derived ZnO@C composite material modified epoxy resin coating includes the following steps: (1) The precursor ZIF-8 was prepared by reacting zinc salt with 2-methylimidazole in an organic solvent by magnetic stirring; (2) The precursor ZIF-8 obtained in step (1) is carbonized in an inert atmosphere to obtain ZnO@C composite material, which has a porous carbon skeleton and uniformly dispersed nano ZnO.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the zinc salt in step (1) is one or more of zinc acetate dihydrate and zinc nitrate hexahydrate; the organic solvent is one or more of methanol and N,N-dimethylamide.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, in step (2), the inert atmosphere is nitrogen or argon, the heating rate of the carbonization treatment is 2-5℃ / min, the carbonization temperature is 700-900℃, and the holding time is at least 2h.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the silane coupling agent in step (3) is KH570. The modification specifically involves: mixing anhydrous ethanol and deionized water at a volume ratio of 9:1, adding acetic acid to adjust the pH to 4-5 to obtain a mixed solution, adding KH570, magnetically stirring for at least 30 minutes, then adding the ZnO@C composite material, mixing thoroughly, centrifuging, washing, and drying to obtain the modified ZnO@C composite material. The ratio of the mixed solution, KH570, and ZnO@C composite material is 1000 mL: 20 mL: 100 g.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the matrix component in step (4) is E51 epoxy resin and reactive diluent AGE, and the curing agent component is polyetheramine D230, accelerator DMP-30, and defoamer. The mass ratio of the matrix component, the curing agent component, and the modified ZnO@C composite material is preferably 100:31.3:(1~5), and more preferably 100:31.3:(2~3).

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) In the synthesis of ZIF-8, the present invention uses room temperature magnetic stirring to avoid the energy consumption caused by traditional MOF solvothermal synthesis, and the synthesis process is more simplified.
