Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of functional polymer materials and surface engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] Icing is a long-standing problem in engineering applications such as aerospace, power transmission, and transportation in cold regions, seriously threatening equipment operation and personal safety. Traditional active de-icing methods (such as electrothermal de-icing, pneumatic de-icing, or spraying antifreeze) are effective but have drawbacks such as high energy consumption, complex equipment, and high maintenance costs. Therefore, low-energy-consumption, long-lasting and stable passive anti-icing coatings have become a research focus.

[0003] Existing passive anti-icing coatings mainly rely on two approaches: one is to construct superhydrophobic micro / nano structures to reduce the interfacial bonding of ice using the air pocket effect; the other is to introduce lubricants or greases to form a liquid lubricating layer to reduce ice adhesion. The former often fails after mechanical wear or contamination, resulting in insufficient durability; the latter has a limited lifespan due to lubricant dissipation. Meanwhile, many studies have used fluoropolymers to reduce surface energy, but the environmental durability and potential bioaccumulation risks of fluorinated materials severely limit their application under policies and regulations.

[0004] To avoid using fluorinated monomers, some researchers have attempted to synthesize silicon-containing copolymers through controlled / living radical polymerization, utilizing silicon-oxygen bonds and organosilicon side groups to reduce surface energy. However, these methods generally suffer from problems such as insufficient monomer conversion, wide molecular weight distribution, and uneven cross-linking structure, resulting in coatings with large fluctuations in thermal stability, mechanical strength, and anti-icing performance, as well as poor durability, making it difficult to meet the requirements of harsh service environments.

[0037] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following specific embodiments:

[0038] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a method for preparing a fluorine-free silicon-containing anti-icing coating based on organotelluric compounds includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Mix the silicon-containing monomer, polar monomer and solvent, and stir evenly at room temperature to form a precursor solution;

[0040] The molar ratio of silicon-containing monomers to polar monomers is 1:1 to 10:1.

[0046] Among them, the organic azo compounds are any one of azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisoheptanenitrile, azobisisovalerate, and azobiscyclohexylformitrile;

[0047] The general structural formula of organotelluric compounds is R 1 –Te–R 2 ,in:

The red line in the figure represents the elution curve of the polymer prepared without the use of organotelluric compounds, while the black line represents the elution curve of the silicon-containing copolymer prepared using organotelluric compounds in this invention. It can be seen from the figure that the silicon-containing copolymers prepared using organotelluric compounds have a narrow molecular weight distribution and good molecular weight control.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves of the silicon-containing copolymer are presented. The red line in the figure represents the TGA curve of the polymer prepared without the use of the organotelluric compound, while the black line represents the TGA curve of the polymer prepared using the organotelluric compound in this invention. It can be seen from the figure that the polymer prepared using the organotelluric compound has significantly improved thermal stability.

[0052] Step 3: Dissolve the silicon-containing copolymer in a solvent and then add a crosslinking agent to obtain a coating solution;

[0083]

[0084] The performance testing process of the fluorine-free silicon-containing anti-icing coating obtained by the method for preparing fluorine-free silicon-containing anti-icing coating based on organotelluric compound regulation provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0085] The water contact angle of the fluorine-free silicon-containing anti-icing coating was measured using an OCA15 contact angle meter. The test temperature was 25±1℃ and the relative humidity was 50±5%. At least three locations were measured for each sample, and the average value was taken as the final water contact angle. The droplet volume used was approximately 5 μL. The test substrate was pre-cleaned and dried.

[0086] The ice adhesion strength test was conducted using a low-temperature pull-off method. Specifically, in an environment of -20°C, the sample surface was frozen into a standard ice column (cross-sectional area of ​​1 cm × 1 cm). A push-pull force gauge (accuracy 0.01 N) was used to slowly apply the ice in the shear direction, and the maximum desorption force was recorded. The ice adhesion strength was calculated based on the contact area, with the unit being kPa. Each group of samples was repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken.

[0087] The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the silicon-containing copolymer provided by the present invention were characterized by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the mobile phase, column temperature of 35°C, flow rate of 1.0 mL / min, and a differential refractive index detector (RID). Polystyrene standards were used for calibration.

[0088] The thermal stability of silicon-containing copolymers is characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The decomposition temperature is determined by observing the temperature point at which the polymer mass rapidly decreases, and the decomposition temperature reflects the thermal stability of the polymer.

[0089] The mechanical properties of the fluorine-free silicone anti-icing coating were measured using an electronic tensile testing machine. Tensile strength was measured according to the national standard GB / T 528-2009. All samples were made into dumbbell shape, and the tensile rate was 100 mm / min at room temperature, with a test length of 15.0 ± 0.5 mm.
