Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of functional coating, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a durable underwater superoleophobic coating with dynamic self-healing ability by one-step method, and products and applications thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Underwater superoleophobic coating has a wide application prospect in many fields such as marine facility maintenance, environmental protection, anti-bioadhesion, liquid treatment and oil-water separation due to its excellent oil stain resistance. Among them, the hydrophilic polymer can effectively resist the adhesion of organic pollutants and microorganisms due to the rich hydrophilic groups, thereby having good underwater antifouling performance. However, the adhesion between the material and the substrate is weakened due to the water absorption and swelling of the material during use, thereby affecting the mechanical durability. In addition, the wettability of the superhydrophilic surface structure may change when it is physically or chemically damaged; and the introduction of a self-repairing dynamic reversible structure can restore the surface performance, but may sacrifice the internal stability and mechanical strength of the material. Therefore, it is still a major challenge to develop underwater anti-adhesion materials with excellent mechanical properties and self-repairing ability to significantly improve the surface durability. Unfortunately, due to the shortcomings of material design and construction method, there are few reports on underwater superoleophobic coatings integrating multiple functions.

[0029] The present application aims to provide a preparation method for preparing a durable underwater super-oleophobic coating with dynamic self-repairing ability by using a "one-step method".
[0030] To solve the problems in the background art, the preparation method first modifies the polyurethane with lipoic acid, and then forms hydrogen bonds between the lipoic acid-modified polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol (or sodium alginate) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (or hydroxyethyl cellulose) to improve the surface mechanical durability. The coating preparation uses a "one-step method", starting from relatively simple and readily available raw materials, without the separation of intermediates, directly obtaining complex molecules, which is more economically and environmentally friendly. The problem of complex and harsh coating preparation process is solved.
[0031] As an example, in one of the more specific and preferred embodiments provided by the present application, the method for preparing a durable underwater super-oleophobic coating with dynamic self-repairing ability by using a "one-step method" includes the following steps:
[0032] Step one, preparation of lipoic acid-modified polyurethane.
[0033] IPDI, PTMEG, E44 and DBTDL were added to a three-necked flask and reacted at 80°C under N2 atmosphere for 3 h to form a prepolymer containing adhesion groups. After the reaction was completed, the hydrophilic chain extender DMPA was added to improve the water solubility and dispersibility of the polyurethane. Then, the temperature of the reaction system was raised to 90°C. The self-repairing chain extender LA was added to the reaction system and continued to react for 15 h, and an appropriate amount of DMAC was added in the above step according to the viscosity of the system. Finally, triethylamine TEA was slowly added and stirred for 15 min to neutralize the carboxyl group. Then, deionized water was quickly added and stirred at 1600 rpm for 30 min to fully disperse the prepolymer, obtaining a waterborne polyurethane LWPU dispersion with self-repairing function.
[0034] Step two, preparation of a durable underwater super-oleophobic coating with dynamic self-repairing ability.
[0035] First, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC was added into 50 mL deionized water at 80℃ and stirred for 30 min, then added into 50 mL deionized water at room temperature and stirred for 1 h to prepare a solution with a mass fraction of 1%. Second, polyvinyl alcohol PVA was added into 100 mL deionized water at 90℃ and stirred for 30 min to prepare a polyvinyl alcohol solution with a mass fraction of 1%. Finally, an appropriate amount of LWPU, PVA and HPMC solution was mixed and stirred at 50℃ for 2 h to form a hydrogen bond domain. Then, an appropriate amount of PHLWPU solution was coated on a glass sheet and placed on an 80℃ heating table for curing for 6 h to obtain a PHLWPU super-hydrophilic composite coating.
[0036] Hydrophilic polymers can effectively prevent the adhesion of organic pollutants and microorganisms due to their containing a large number of hydrophilic groups, and exhibit excellent underwater anti-adhesion performance, and are widely used in the fields of drag reduction, biomedical, flexible electronics and antifouling materials. However, due to the water absorption and swelling of the polymer, the interfacial force between the polymer and the substrate is weakened, and the high hydrophilicity of the hydrophilic polymer brings significant challenges to the adhesion of the substrate and the mechanical properties of itself. The above-mentioned method provided by the present application adds lipoic acid and epoxy modified polyurethane, and the reaction between the epoxy resin with a rigid aromatic structure and the polyurethane segment increases the crosslinking density inside the LWPU material, thereby enhancing the cohesive strength. In addition, the epoxy ring of E44 can form new carbon-oxygen covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the substrate to increase the interaction with the substrate, further improving the adhesion performance and durability of the underwater super-oleophobic coating; secondly, the present application uses a one-step crosslinking method to combine the hydrophilic polymer segment into the polymer chain, and the introduction of the hydrophilic branched structure into the molecular chain of the polymer material by the hydrogen bond crosslinking method is an ideal choice to solve the poor compatibility of hydrophilic and adhesive, which affects the overall effect. The present application is prepared by using "one-step method", which improves the shortcoming of easy falling off of traditional hydrophilic coating. In addition, due to the breaking and rebuilding of dynamic disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds, the present application exhibits good self-repairing performance underwater.
[0037] The present application provides a method for preparing a durable underwater super-oleophobic coating with dynamic self-healing ability by using "one-step method", as well as products and applications thereof.

[0073] Experimental Example 1
[0074] In this experimental example, PHLWPU (Example 1) was used as the experimental material to test the wettability.
[0075] The test method for the water contact angle was to place a syringe needle filled with deionized water directly above the coating in the air at room temperature, and then release a deionized water droplet onto the surface of the coating to measure the water contact angle in the air, and observe the trend of the water contact angle over time. The test method for the underwater oil contact angle was to immerse the coating in a deionized water tank. A syringe needle filled with heavy oil was placed directly above the coating, and a heavy oil dichloromethane droplet was released onto the surface of the coating to be measured. The average volume of the oil droplet and the water droplet was 5.0 μL. All the contact angle data in this experiment were the average values of three measurements at different regions on the surface of the coating.
[0076] The experimental results are shown in Figure 1 .
[0077] Figure 1In Figure (a), a water droplet on the PHLWPU coating surface spreads from 30.22 ± 0.5° to complete its spread after 330 seconds; Figure (b) shows that the underwater oil contact angle of the PHLWPU coating is 170.15 ± 0.6°. Figure 1 It is evident that this material belongs to the category of superhydrophilic / underwater superoleophobic materials.
[0078] Experiment Example 2
[0079] This experiment uses PHLWPU (Example 1) as the experimental material to test its load-bearing effect.
[0080] The test method involves passing the coated sample through a heavy object, holding both ends by hand, and pulling it upwards to observe its state at the moment it bears a weight far exceeding its own weight and afterwards.
[0081] The experimental results are shown in Figure 2 .
[0082] Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, a coating sample of only 0.15 g can support a weight of 2 kg, proving its excellent mechanical properties.
[0083] Experimental Example 3
[0084] This experimental example uses PHLWPU (Example 1) as the experimental material to test its chemical durability.
[0085] The test method involved immersing the coating in aqueous solution, acidic solution with pH=3, alkaline solution with pH=11, and artificial seawater, and measuring and recording the changes in contact angle and coating stability.
[0086] The experimental results are shown in Figure 3 .
[0087] Depend on Figure 3 It can be seen that after 12 hours of immersion in acid / alkali and artificial seawater solutions, the underwater oil droplet contact angle of the PHLWPU coating remained stable at over 150° and there was no peeling, proving that the coating surface has stable superhydrophilic / underwater superoleophobic properties and coating adhesion.
[0088] Experiment Example 4
[0089] This experimental example uses PHLWPU (Example 2) as the experimental material to conduct experiments on its mechanical properties.
[0090] The test method involves making the sample into a dumbbell shape and performing stress-strain tests using a universal testing machine.
[0091] The experimental results are shown in Figure 4 .
[0092] Depend on Figure 4It can be seen that compared with the LWPU material, the hydrogen bonding domain formed by PVA and HPMC significantly improves the mechanical properties of PHLWPU. However, excessive hydrogen bonding crosslinking leads to damage to the uniformity of the material, thereby reducing the internal cohesive force.
[0093] Experimental Example 5
[0094] In this experimental example, PHLWPU (Example 3) is used as the experimental material to experiment on the self-cleaning performance.
[0095] The test method is to shake the coating contaminated by crude oil in water, and observe the situation of crude oil falling off the surface of the coating.
[0096] The experimental results are shown in Figure 5 .
[0097] As can be seen from Figure 5 , after the PHLWPU coating surface pre-wetted by water is dripped with crude oil and then immersed in water and shaken gently, it is found that the crude oil can be well detached from the coating surface. As a comparison, after a glass sheet without PHLWPU coating is pre-wetted by water and dripped with crude oil, it is found that the crude oil is still firmly adhered to the glass sheet, which shows that the PHLWPU coating has good crude oil-repellent performance.
[0098] Experimental Example 6
[0099] In this experimental example, PHLWPU (Example 1) is used as the experimental material to experiment on the oil-water separation.
[0100] The test method is to stir the mixture of 3 mL petroleum ether, kerosene, n-hexane, cyclohexane or kerosene, 300 mL water and 0.1 g Tween 80 at a speed of 5000 rpm for 5 min to obtain an oil-water emulsion. The oil-water separation test is carried out under the condition of vacuum pump pressurization.
[0101] The experimental results are shown in Figure 6 .
[0102] As can be seen from Figure 6 , the separation efficiency of the stainless steel mesh treated by PHLWPU for the water-in-petroleum ether, water-in-cyclohexane, water-in-n-hexane and water-in-kerosene emulsions is higher than 99.4%, which shows excellent oil-water separation performance.
[0103] Experimental Example 7
[0104] In this experimental example, PHLWPU (Example 1) is used as the experimental material to experiment on the self-repairing performance.
[0105] The test method is to make scratches on the surface of the coating with a scalpel, and put the damaged coating into an 80°C oven to record the situation before and after the coating is repaired by an optical microscope.
[0106] The experimental results are shown in Figure 7 .
[0107] Depend on Figure 7 As can be seen, when a scratch was made on the coating surface and then placed in an 80℃ oven for repair testing, the scratch on the PHLWPU coating surface disappeared after 5 minutes of repair time. This demonstrates that the PHLWPU coating has good repair performance.
