Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of overhead transmission line conductor protection technology, specifically to an anti-corrosion overhead line that can reduce corona loss and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] This invention pertains to the technical field of overhead transmission line conductor protection and performance optimization technology. Overhead transmission lines, as the core carrier of power energy transmission, are critical infrastructure supporting the safe and stable operation of power systems. With the continuous advancement of new power system construction, the power grid transmission capacity is constantly increasing, and voltage levels are continuously rising, placing more stringent requirements on the transmission efficiency, operational reliability, environmental adaptability, and service life of overhead conductors. Overhead conductors are exposed to the open environment for extended periods, directly subjected to the effects of sunlight, wind, rain, and temperature changes, while also facing corrosion from industrial corrosive media, acid rain, salt spray, and other corrosive factors, as well as the corona discharge effect under high-voltage operating conditions. Electricity causes significant energy loss, directly reducing the energy efficiency of transmission lines. Simultaneously, the accompanying electromagnetic interference and noise pollution affect the surrounding environment and communication systems. Long-term corona discharge accelerates the aging and deterioration of conductors and fittings, increasing the safety risks of line operation. Corrosion gradually destroys the structural integrity of the conductor substrate, reducing its mechanical and electrical properties, leading to problems such as strand breakage and reduced load-bearing capacity. This significantly shortens the service life of the lines and increases the cost of power grid operation and maintenance, as well as safety management pressures. Therefore, developing overhead conductor technology that can simultaneously achieve effective suppression of corona loss and long-term corrosion protection has become a core technological need urgently needing to be addressed in the field of transmission lines.
[0003] Current performance optimization and protection technologies for overhead conductors mostly adopt a single-function design approach, making it difficult to simultaneously address the dual requirements of corona loss control and corrosion protection. This results in significant technical shortcomings and application limitations. Traditional conductor corrosion protection solutions often employ single metal plating, anti-corrosion grease coating, or conventional polymer coating. During long-term field service, these protective structures are prone to plating damage and rust spread, grease loss and aging, and coating cracking and peeling. Their protective performance deteriorates rapidly, and they cannot achieve self-repair of damaged areas, making it difficult to form a long-term stable protective barrier. Optimization methods for corona loss primarily focus on adjusting the conductor structure, such as changing the conductor stranding structure and increasing... Improving the electric field distribution through methods such as adjusting the outer diameter of conductors presents challenges, including high costs for line design and modification, difficult construction, and poor compatibility with existing lines. Surface modification cannot provide convenient performance upgrades. Some surface-modified coatings used for corona suppression suffer from poor electrical compatibility with the conductor substrate and unstable conductivity, failing to suppress corona discharge while ensuring the conductor's power transmission performance and simultaneously providing corrosion protection. Furthermore, traditional multi-layer composite coating systems suffer from insufficient interlayer bonding and low performance matching, failing to achieve a synergistic protective effect. Under complex operating conditions, they are prone to interlayer peeling and delamination failure, making it difficult to meet the long-term stable service requirements of overhead conductors.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this corrosion-resistant overhead line that can reduce corona loss and its preparation method have the following beneficial effects: I. This invention achieves synergistic optimization of conductivity, mechanical protection, and corrosion resistance by constructing an integrated double-layer protective coating system on the surface of the conductor substrate. The bottom layer is a composite conductive ceramic structure. Through the composite matching of carbon-based conductive materials and ceramic substrate, a stable and continuous conductive path is constructed, effectively homogenizing the electric field intensity on the conductor surface, suppressing the generation of corona discharge, and significantly reducing corona loss during line operation. At the same time, the ceramic substrate has excellent weather resistance and wear resistance, which can form a rigid protective barrier for the conductor substrate, isolating the intrusion of external corrosive media. It also has a very strong bonding force with the substrate, avoiding the problem of coating peeling and cracking during long-term operation. This ensures the long-term stable service of the line in complex outdoor environments and provides reliable structural support for low-loss and long-cycle operation of overhead transmission lines.
[0017] II. This invention introduces a smart responsive self-healing conductive polymer system into the surface of the protective coating, combined with bifunctional responsive microcapsules and temperature-sensitive functional components, to achieve dynamic regulation and self-repair of the coating's protective performance. The temperature-sensitive components can adaptively adjust the surface wetting characteristics according to the temperature changes of the line's operating environment. Under high-temperature operating conditions, they form a hydrophobic protective interface to block liquid media such as rainwater and condensation, while under low-temperature conditions, they restore hydrophilic properties to prevent the adhesion and accumulation of surface contaminants. The bifunctional responsive microcapsules can quickly release the corresponding functional components when the coating suffers mechanical damage or localized corrosion and acidification, repairing the conductive pathways and protective barriers, and actively inhibiting the spread of corrosion. At the same time, combined with nano-ceramic fillers and anti-corrosion pigments, the coating's anti-permeability and long-term protective life are further enhanced, reducing the operation and maintenance costs and failure risks of overhead lines.

The integrated double-layer protective coating, from the inside out, consists of a graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic bottom layer and a smart responsive self-healing conductive polymer surface layer, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0023] The graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate, by mass parts, comprises 80 parts of nano-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ composite ceramic matrix, 2 parts of graphene, 3 parts of carbon nanotubes, and 1 part of silane coupling agent. The substrate thickness is 20 μm, and the volume resistivity is [missing value]. In the nano-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ composite ceramic matrix, the mass ratio of Al₂O₃ to TiO₂ is 4:1. Al₂O₃ is the α-corundum phase, and TiO₂ is the rutile phase. The original particle size of the powder is 50 nm. The graphene is a 3-layer hydroxylated few-layer graphene with a sheet diameter of 3 μm and a specific surface area of 400 m². 2 / g, carbon purity 99.5%, oxygen content 2%. The carbon nanotubes are hydroxylated modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes with a diameter of 30nm, a length of 10μm, an aspect ratio of 500, and a purity of 98%. The silane coupling agent is γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane.
[0024] The intelligent responsive self-healing conductive polymer surface layer, by weight, comprises 50 parts of a conductive polymer film-forming matrix, 8 parts of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), 8 parts of bifunctional responsive microcapsules, 20 parts of nano-ceramic filler, 3 parts of anti-corrosion pigment, and 0.5 parts of other additives. The surface layer thickness is 60 μm, and the volume resistivity is [missing information]. The conductive polymer film-forming matrix is a mixture of polypyrrole and polyaniline in a 2:1 mass ratio. The number-average molecular weight of polyN-isopropylacrylamide is 15,000, and its lower critical solution temperature is 35℃. The bifunctional responsive microcapsules are a mixture of self-healing microcapsules and pH-responsive microcapsules in a 1.5:1 mass ratio. The nano-ceramic filler is a mixture of Al₂O₃ and ZrO₂ with a particle size of 30 nm in a 3:1 mass ratio, with the surface modified by a silane coupling agent. The anti-corrosion pigment is zinc phosphate with a particle size of 8 μm. Other additives include dispersants, defoamers, and film-forming aids. The self-healing microcapsules have a urea-formaldehyde resin wall with a thickness of 2 μm and a particle size of 20 μm. The core is a mixture of conductive polymer monomers and polymerization catalysts in an 8:1 mass ratio, with a core material coverage of 85 wt%. The pH-responsive microcapsules have a chitosan-acrylic resin copolymer wall with a thickness of 3 μm and a particle size of 30 μm. The core is a benzotriazole corrosion inhibitor with a core material coverage of 80 wt%. The corrosion inhibitor is automatically released in an acidic environment with a pH less than 5.6.
[0025] The corrosion-resistant overhead line with reduced corona loss in this embodiment is prepared through the following steps: S1. Conductor Substrate Pretreatment: Steel-cored aluminum stranded wire was selected as the conductor substrate. The outer monofilament surface of the conductor substrate underwent degreasing, sandblasting, acid pickling, and phosphating treatments in sequence. Then, surface modification treatment was performed using a silane coupling agent ethanol solution, followed by drying. Degreasing was performed using anhydrous ethanol as the solvent, with ultrasonic degreasing at a constant temperature of 45℃ for 18 minutes to remove oil, dust, and other impurities from the monofilament surface, ensuring sufficient contact between the substrate surface and the treatment solution during subsequent processing. Sandblasting used 100-mesh white corundum abrasive at a pressure of 0.4 MPa and a distance of 12 cm. After treatment, the surface roughness of the monofilament was Ra 2.5 μm. Sandblasting created a uniform micro-rough structure on the monofilament surface, improving the adhesion between the subsequent coating and the substrate. The pickling and phosphating treatment involves first immersing the filament in a mixture of 6wt% dilute nitric acid and 0.8wt% corrosion inhibitor at room temperature for 4 minutes to remove the oxide layer and rust products from the surface. After rinsing with water until neutral, the filament is immersed in a zinc-based phosphating solution at 50℃ for 12 minutes to form a 2μm thick phosphating film. This phosphating film provides temporary corrosion protection for the substrate and further improves the adhesion between the coating and the substrate. The silane coupling agent ethanol solution has a mass fraction of 3%, and the surface modification immersion time is 15 minutes. After modification, the drying temperature is 70℃ and the drying time is 25 minutes. Through surface modification with the silane coupling agent, active functional groups are introduced into the substrate surface, improving the interfacial compatibility between the substrate and the subsequently deposited ceramic underlayer.
[0026] S2. Preparation of Conductive Ceramic Substrate Deposition: A pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte was prepared. Using a pretreated wire substrate as the cathode and stainless steel as the anode, electrochemical deposition was performed using a pulsed power supply to grow a graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate in situ on the surface of the wire substrate. After deposition, the substrate was washed with water and dried. The pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte consisted of 25 g / L aluminum salt, 8 g / L titanium salt, 2 g / L graphene dispersion, 3 g / L carbon nanotube dispersion, 6 g / L boric acid, and 3 g / L citric acid, with a pH of 4. Aluminum nitrate was used as the aluminum salt, and titanium oxysulfate was used as the titanium salt. Both the graphene and carbon nanotube dispersions were aqueous dispersion systems. A silane coupling agent consistent with the substrate formulation was used as the dispersant to ensure the stability of the dispersion system and the consistency of the components. The anode and cathode were arranged coaxially with a distance of 6 cm between them. This coaxial arrangement ensured a uniform electric field distribution throughout the circumference of the wire substrate, thereby guaranteeing a uniform thickness and consistent performance of the deposited ceramic substrate. The process parameters for pulsed electrochemical deposition were: pulse frequency 3000 Hz, duty cycle 40%, and current density 3 A / dm³. 2The electrolyte temperature was 30℃, and the deposition time was 20 min. Pulsed electrochemical deposition was employed to avoid concentration polarization issues that occur during continuous deposition, improving the density and uniformity of the ceramic substrate. Simultaneously, it achieved uniform doping and in-situ composite of graphene and carbon nanotubes in the ceramic matrix. After deposition, the substrate was rinsed four times with deionized water and then dried in an 80℃ hot air environment for 12 min to remove residual electrolyte and moisture from the substrate surface, preventing residual components from adversely affecting subsequent surface coatings.
[0027] S3. Preparation of Composite Emulsion: Conductive polymer monomers, deionized water, and emulsifiers are mixed and a conductive polymer emulsion is prepared by in-situ polymerization. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), bifunctional responsive microcapsules, nano-ceramic fillers, anti-corrosion pigments, and other additives are then added to the emulsion. After high-speed dispersion and sand milling, the solid content is adjusted to 35% to obtain the composite emulsion. The reaction temperature of the in-situ polymerization method is 3℃, the reaction time is 5h, the molar ratio of initiator to conductive polymer monomer is 1:1, and the solid content of the prepared conductive polymer emulsion is 45%. The conductive polymer monomer is a mixture of pyrrole and aniline in a mass ratio of 2:1. Ammonium persulfate is used as the initiator, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is used as the emulsifier. The entire in-situ polymerization process is carried out under a nitrogen protective atmosphere to avoid monomer oxidation and ensure that the prepared conductive polymer emulsion has stable conductivity and film-forming properties. The high-speed dispersion speed is 2500 r / min, and the dispersion time is 30 min. High-speed dispersion initially and uniformly disperses each solid component in the emulsion, breaking up the agglomeration structure of the powder. The sand milling process used 0.7mm zirconium beads as the grinding medium, at a speed of 1800 rpm, and consisted of two passes. After sand milling, the emulsion fineness was ≤20μm. This sand milling further refined the powder particle size, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the emulsion system and preventing pinhole defects in subsequent coatings caused by large particles. The bifunctional responsive microcapsules were added after sand milling, with a stirring speed of 400 rpm for 18 minutes. This low-speed stirring method prevented the microcapsule walls from rupturing due to high-speed shearing, ensuring the microcapsules maintained their intact structure within the emulsion. This allowed them to perform their corresponding responsive functions during coating service. Figure 3 As shown.
[0028] S4. Surface Coating Forming: An electrostatic spraying process is used to coat the composite emulsion onto the surface of the graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate. Leveling is then performed at room temperature to obtain the pre-formed coating. The electrostatic spraying parameters are: spraying voltage 40kV, spraying distance 20cm, spray gun movement speed 8m / min, and 2 spray passes. The electrostatic spraying process ensures uniform coating of the composite emulsion onto the substrate surface and utilizes electrostatic adsorption to enhance the coating's coverage of the substrate, ensuring uniform surface thickness throughout the conductor's circumference. The room temperature leveling time is 12min, which eliminates spraying marks on the coating surface, resulting in a smooth and flat surface structure, reducing surface roughness, and thus optimizing the electric field distribution on the conductor surface.
[0029] S5. Synergistic Curing of Two-Layer Coatings: The pre-formed coating is sequentially subjected to low-temperature hot air pre-curing, ultrasonic-assisted curing, and low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment to obtain the finished product. The low-temperature hot air pre-curing temperature is 100℃, the holding time is 45 min, and the heating rate is 2.5℃ / min. This slow heating allows the solvent in the coating to evaporate slowly, avoiding defects such as pinholes caused by rapid solvent evaporation. Simultaneously, it allows the coating to form a preliminary cross-linked structure, ensuring the basic morphology of the coating. The ultrasonic-assisted curing temperature is the same as the pre-curing temperature, the ultrasonic frequency is 30kHz, and the treatment time is 15 min. Through the cavitation effect of ultrasound, the cross-linking reaction inside the coating is fully promoted, while eliminating micro-bubbles within the coating, improving the density and interlayer bonding of the coating, and achieving synergistic curing and bonding between the bottom and top layers. Low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment uses argon as the working medium, with a vacuum degree of 20 Pa, a treatment power of 200 W, and a treatment time of 10 min. Through low-temperature plasma treatment, polar groups are introduced into the coating surface, which further optimizes the surface properties of the coating, while improving the surface density of the coating and enhancing its protective performance.

[0033] The corrosion-resistant overhead line with reduced corona loss in this embodiment is prepared through the following steps: S1. Conductor Substrate Pretreatment: Aluminum alloy stranded wire was selected as the conductor substrate. The outer monofilament surface of the conductor substrate underwent degreasing, sandblasting, acid pickling, and phosphating treatment in sequence. Then, surface modification treatment was performed using a silane coupling agent ethanol solution, followed by drying. Degreasing was performed using aviation kerosene as a solvent, and ultrasonic degreasing was carried out at a constant temperature of 50℃ for 20 minutes to thoroughly remove rolling oil and impurities from the monofilament surface, ensuring the cleanliness of the substrate surface. Sandblasting used 120-mesh white corundum abrasive, with a sandblasting pressure of 0.5MPa and a sandblasting distance of 15cm. After treatment, the surface roughness of the monofilament was Ra3μm. Sandblasting created a uniform rough interface, providing sufficient mechanical interlocking sites for coating adhesion. The pickling and phosphating treatment involves first immersing the filament in a mixture of 8wt% dilute nitric acid and 1wt% corrosion inhibitor at room temperature for 5 minutes to thoroughly remove the dense oxide layer on the surface of the monofilament. After rinsing with water until neutral, the filament is immersed in a zinc-based phosphating solution at 55℃ for 15 minutes to form a 3μm thick phosphating film, providing stronger temporary corrosion protection for the substrate and further improving interfacial bonding performance. The silane coupling agent ethanol solution has a mass fraction of 5%, the surface modification immersion time is 20 minutes, and the post-modification drying temperature is 80℃ for 30 minutes. Through sufficient surface modification, a high-density layer of active functional groups is constructed on the substrate surface, enhancing the interfacial bonding between the substrate and the ceramic substrate.
[0034] S2. Preparation of Conductive Ceramic Substrate Deposition: A pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte was prepared. Using the pretreated wire substrate as the cathode and stainless steel as the anode, electrochemical deposition was performed using a pulsed power supply to grow a graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate in situ on the surface of the wire substrate. After deposition, the substrate was washed with water and dried. The components of the pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte included 30 g / L aluminum salt, 10 g / L titanium salt, 3 g / L graphene dispersion, 5 g / L carbon nanotube dispersion, 8 g / L boric acid, and 4 g / L citric acid. The pH of the electrolyte was 5. Aluminum nitrate was used as the aluminum salt, and titanium oxysulfate was used as the titanium salt. Both the graphene and carbon nanotube dispersions were aqueous dispersion systems. The dispersant used was a silane coupling agent consistent with the substrate formulation to ensure the long-term stability of the dispersion system. The anode and cathode were arranged coaxially with a distance of 8 cm between them to ensure a uniform circumferential electric field distribution on the wire substrate and avoid uneven deposition thickness. The process parameters for pulsed electrochemical deposition were: pulse frequency 5000 Hz, duty cycle 50%, and current density 5 A / dm³. 2 The electrolyte temperature was 40℃, and the deposition time was 30 minutes. High-frequency pulse deposition further improved the density of the ceramic substrate, enhancing its impermeability and mechanical properties. After deposition, the substrate was rinsed five times with deionized water and then dried in an 80℃ hot air environment for 15 minutes to thoroughly remove residual electrolyte and moisture, ensuring a clean and dry substrate surface.
[0035] S3. Preparation of Composite Emulsion: Conductive polymer monomers, deionized water, and emulsifiers are mixed and a conductive polymer emulsion is prepared by in-situ polymerization. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), bifunctional responsive microcapsules, nano-ceramic fillers, anti-corrosion pigments, and other additives are then added to the emulsion. After high-speed dispersion and sand milling, the solid content is adjusted to 40% to obtain the composite emulsion. The reaction temperature of the in-situ polymerization method is 5℃, the reaction time is 6h, the molar ratio of initiator to conductive polymer monomer is 1:1, and the solid content of the prepared conductive polymer emulsion is 50%. The conductive polymer monomer is a mixture of pyrrole and aniline in a mass ratio of 3:1. Ammonium persulfate is used as the initiator, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is used as the emulsifier. The entire in-situ polymerization process is carried out under a nitrogen protective atmosphere to ensure the stability of the polymer's molecular structure and excellent conductivity. The high-speed dispersion speed is 3000 r / min, and the dispersion time is 30 min to fully break up powder agglomeration and achieve preliminary uniform dispersion of each component. The milling process used 0.8mm zirconium beads as the grinding medium, at a milling speed of 2000 rpm, and for three passes. The resulting emulsion fineness was ≤20μm. Multiple milling passes ensured thorough powder refinement and a uniform and stable emulsion system. The bifunctional responsive microcapsules were added after milling, with a stirring speed of 500 rpm for 20 minutes. This low-speed, gentle stirring method avoided damage to the microcapsule walls and ensured the functional integrity of the microcapsules.
[0036] S4. Surface Coating Forming: A dip-coating process is used to coat the composite emulsion onto the surface of the graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate. Leveling is achieved at room temperature to obtain the coating preform. The dip-coating parameters are: pull-up speed 2 m / min, immersion time 60 s, and 3 pull-ups. This dip-coating process ensures that even the gaps in the stranded wires are completely covered by the coating, achieving comprehensive protection of the conductor substrate and meeting the protection requirements of heavily corrosive environments. The room temperature leveling time is 15 min to effectively eliminate flow marks on the coating surface, ensuring a smooth and even surface.
[0037] S5. Synergistic Curing of Two-Layer Coatings: The pre-formed coating is sequentially subjected to low-temperature hot air pre-curing, ultrasonic-assisted curing, and low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment to obtain the finished product. The low-temperature hot air pre-curing temperature is 120℃, the holding time is 60 min, and the heating rate is 3℃ / min. This slow pre-curing allows the coating to fully cross-link and form a stable structure. The ultrasonic-assisted curing temperature is the same as the pre-curing temperature, the ultrasonic frequency is 40kHz, and the treatment time is 20 min. Ultrasonic waves further enhance the coating's density, eliminate internal defects, and strengthen the synergistic bonding between the bottom and top layers. The low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment uses argon gas as the working medium, a vacuum degree of 30 Pa, a treatment power of 300W, and a treatment time of 15 min. This plasma treatment further optimizes the coating's surface properties and improves its weather resistance and protective performance.

[0041] The corrosion-resistant overhead line with reduced corona loss in this embodiment is prepared through the following steps: S1. Conductor Substrate Pretreatment: Hard aluminum stranded wire was selected as the conductor substrate. The outer monofilament surface of the conductor substrate underwent degreasing, sandblasting, acid pickling, and phosphating treatment in sequence. Then, surface modification treatment was performed using a silane coupling agent ethanol solution, followed by drying. Degreasing was performed using anhydrous ethanol as the solvent, and ultrasonic degreasing was carried out at a constant temperature of 40℃ for 15 minutes to thoroughly remove impurities and oil from the monofilament surface, ensuring a clean substrate surface. Sandblasting used 80-mesh white corundum abrasive at a pressure of 0.3 MPa and a distance of 10 cm. After treatment, the surface roughness of the monofilament was Ra 2 μm. This gentle sandblasting treatment ensured coating adhesion while avoiding excessively rough structures on the substrate surface, laying the foundation for the subsequent preparation of a low-roughness coating. The pickling and phosphating treatment involves first immersing the filament in a mixture of 5wt% dilute nitric acid and 0.5wt% corrosion inhibitor at room temperature for 3 minutes to remove the oxide layer on the surface. After rinsing with water until neutral, the filament is immersed in a zinc-based phosphating solution at 45℃ for 10 minutes to form a 1μm thick phosphating film. This provides temporary corrosion protection while ensuring the smoothness of the substrate surface. The silane coupling agent ethanol solution has a mass fraction of 2%, and the surface modification immersion time is 10 minutes. After modification, the drying temperature is 60℃ and the drying time is 20 minutes. Surface modification improves the interfacial compatibility between the substrate and the ceramic underlayer.
[0042] S2. Preparation of Conductive Ceramic Substrate Deposition: A pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte was prepared. Using a pretreated wire substrate as the cathode and stainless steel as the anode, electrochemical deposition was performed using a pulsed power supply to grow a graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate in situ on the surface of the wire substrate. After deposition, the substrate was washed with water and dried. The pulsed electrochemical deposition electrolyte consisted of 20 g / L aluminum salt, 5 g / L titanium salt, 1 g / L graphene dispersion, 2 g / L carbon nanotube dispersion, 5 g / L boric acid, and 2 g / L citric acid, with a pH of 3. Aluminum nitrate was used as the aluminum salt, and titanium oxysulfate was used as the titanium salt. Both the graphene and carbon nanotube dispersions were aqueous dispersion systems. A silane coupling agent consistent with the substrate formulation was used as the dispersant to ensure uniform and stable dispersion. The anode and cathode were arranged coaxially with a 5 cm distance between them to ensure a highly uniform circumferential electric field distribution on the wire substrate, achieving uniform deposition of the ultrathin ceramic substrate. The process parameters for pulsed electrochemical deposition were: pulse frequency 1000 Hz, duty cycle 30%, and current density 2 A / dm³. 2 The electrolyte temperature was 25℃, and the deposition time was 10 min. Controllable growth of an ultrathin ceramic substrate was achieved through low-current-density pulse deposition, ensuring uniform substrate thickness and a smooth surface. After deposition, the substrate was rinsed three times with deionized water and then dried in an 80℃ hot air environment for 10 min to remove residual electrolyte and moisture.
[0043] S3. Preparation of Composite Emulsion: Conductive polymer monomers, deionized water, and emulsifiers are mixed and a conductive polymer emulsion is prepared by in-situ polymerization. Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), bifunctional responsive microcapsules, nano-ceramic fillers, anti-corrosion pigments, and other additives are then added to the emulsion. After high-speed dispersion and sand milling, the solid content is adjusted to 30% to obtain the composite emulsion. The reaction temperature of the in-situ polymerization method is 0℃, the reaction time is 4h, the molar ratio of initiator to conductive polymer monomer is 1:1, and the solid content of the prepared conductive polymer emulsion is 40%. The conductive polymer monomer is a mixture of pyrrole and aniline in a 1:1 mass ratio. Ammonium persulfate is used as the initiator, and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is used as the emulsifier. The entire in-situ polymerization process is carried out under a nitrogen protective atmosphere to ensure the stability of the film-forming and conductive properties of the polymer emulsion. The high-speed dispersion speed is 2000 r / min, and the dispersion time is 30 min to achieve initial uniform dispersion of each component. The sand milling process used 0.6mm zirconium beads as the grinding medium, with a milling speed of 1500 rpm and two passes. The resulting emulsion fineness was ≤15μm. This fine sand milling further refined the powder particle size, providing a foundation for preparing coatings with low surface roughness. The bifunctional responsive microcapsules were added after sand milling, with a stirring speed of 300 rpm for 15 minutes. This low-speed stirring ensured the integrity of the microcapsule structure and uniform dispersion in the emulsion.
[0044] S4. Surface Coating Forming: An electrostatic spraying process is used to coat the composite emulsion onto the surface of the graphene-carbon nanotube composite conductive ceramic substrate. Leveling is achieved at room temperature to obtain the coating preform. The electrostatic spraying parameters are: spraying voltage 30kV, spraying distance 15cm, spray gun movement speed 5m / min, and 2 spray passes. Optimized electrostatic spraying parameters ensure a highly smooth coating surface, reduce surface roughness, and optimize the electric field distribution on the conductor surface. A room temperature leveling time of 10min effectively eliminates spray marks, ensuring a smooth and flat coating surface.
[0045] S5. Synergistic Curing of Two-Layer Coatings: The pre-formed coating is sequentially subjected to low-temperature hot air pre-curing, ultrasonic-assisted curing, and low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment to obtain the finished product. The low-temperature hot air pre-curing temperature is 80℃, the holding time is 30 min, and the heating rate is 2℃ / min. Slow curing at low temperature avoids surface defects and ensures the smoothness of the coating surface. The ultrasonic-assisted curing temperature is the same as the pre-curing temperature, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, and the treatment time is 10 min. Ultrasonic waves promote cross-linking of the coating, improve interlayer bonding, and simultaneously ensure the smoothness of the coating surface. The low-temperature plasma surface modification treatment uses argon as the working medium, a vacuum degree of 10Pa, a treatment power of 100W, and a treatment time of 5 min. This gentle plasma treatment optimizes the surface properties of the coating without damaging its smooth structure, ensuring extremely low surface roughness.
