Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite coating preparation technology, specifically to a method for preparing a bifunctional modified silicone oil and its epoxy composite coating. Background Technology
[0002] Epoxy resin coatings are commonly used coatings, but they have disadvantages such as high surface energy, easy contamination; poor toughness, easy brittleness at low temperatures; poor weather resistance, and easy yellowing and aging.
[0003] Ordinary silicone oil has a single function, possessing certain hydrophobicity but poor oleophobicity. Introducing fluorinated groups can further reduce surface energy and improve the hydrophobic and oleophobic properties of polymers. However, fluorinated silicone oil has poor interfacial compatibility with epoxy resin, and phase separation and oil floating phenomena are prone to occur during bonding.
[0004] Patent CN100371387C provides a method for preparing epoxy resin modified with epoxide silicone oil, but it only uses a single epoxide silicone oil (the side chain contains only epoxy groups), and can only crosslink with epoxy matrix through epoxy ring opening. It does not have low surface energy fluorine-containing groups and interface compatibility control design, so it cannot reduce the surface energy of the coating, improve hydrophobic and oleophobic properties and aging resistance, and can only improve mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides a method for synthesizing a bifunctional modified silicone oil and a method for preparing an epoxy composite coating.
[0006] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] The synthesis method of bifunctional modified silicone oil is as follows: under nitrogen protection, hydrogen-containing silicone oil, fluorinated acrylate monomers, allyl glycidyl ether (AGE), chloroplatinic acid, polymerization inhibitor and solvent are added to a flask and prepared by one-pot method to obtain fluorinated epoxy bifunctional modified silicone oil.
[0008] Further, the specific synthesis method of the modified silicone oil is as follows: Hydrogen-containing silicone oil (hydrogen content selected as 0.8%) is weighed and added to a three-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer. Under a vacuum of 50 mmHg, the temperature is raised to 110°C and dehydrated for 1 hour. The dehydrated hydrogen-containing silicone oil, fluorinated acrylate monomers, allyl glycidyl ether (AGE), polymerization inhibitor, chloroplatinic acid, and solvent are added to the flask. The temperature is raised to 130°C and maintained for 3-4 hours. After the reaction is completed, the temperature is lowered to 80°C, and unreacted small molecule monomers and solvents are removed by vacuum distillation under a vacuum of 50 mmHg. After removal is complete, the temperature is lowered to 50°C and the product is discharged.
[0009] The fluorinated acrylate monomer is one of trifluoroethyl methacrylate, trifluoroethyl acrylate, or hexafluorobutyl acrylate; the polymerization inhibitor is phenothiazine (PTZ) or p-hydroxyanisole (MEHQ); and the solvent is toluene, xylene, or a mixture thereof.
[0010] The molar ratio of Si-H bonds in the hydrogen-containing silicone oil to C=C bonds in monomers containing double bonds (fluorinated acrylate monomers, allyl glycidyl ether) is 1:(1.05-1.1), and the molar ratio of fluorinated acrylate monomers to allyl glycidyl ether is 0:1-2:1 (preferably 1:1).
[0011] The amount of polymerization inhibitor (based on the mass fraction of fluorinated acrylate monomer) is 0.1%-0.2%, the amount of solvent (based on the mass fraction of hydrogen-containing silicone oil) is 20%-30%, and the amount of chloroplatinic acid (based on the total mass of the reaction system) is 20-30 ppm.
[0012] The preparation method of epoxy composite coating is as follows: epoxy resin, the above-prepared bifunctional modified silicone oil, fumed silica, and epoxy resin curing agent are mixed evenly, and after standing, the slurry is evenly applied to the substrate surface to be coated by brushing or spraying. Then, it is cured according to the process of 80℃ / 3h+150℃ / 2h to obtain epoxy composite coating with high anti-fouling and strong adhesion.
[0013] Furthermore, the specific preparation method of the composite coating is as follows: Epoxy resin is weighed and added to a flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, the temperature is raised to 50-60℃, fumed silica and modified silicone oil are slowly added, the stirring speed is maintained at 600-700 r / min, and the stirring is carried out for 20-30 min; after stirring evenly, the temperature is lowered to 20-25℃, the stirring speed is reduced to 200-300 r / min, epoxy resin curing agent is added, and the mixture is stirred at low speed for 5-10 min. The slurry is evenly applied to the substrate surface to be coated by brushing or spraying, and then cured according to the process of 80℃ / 3h + 150℃ / 2h to obtain an epoxy composite coating with both high anti-fouling and strong adhesion.
[0014] The epoxy resin is one or more of bisphenol A (E-51) or bisphenol F (E-50), the fumed silica is Wacker HDKH20 hydrophobic silica, and the epoxy resin curing agent is one or more of isophorone diamine (IPDA) and m-xylene diamine (MXDA).
[0015] The composite coating comprises the following parts by weight: epoxy resin (100 parts), modified silicone oil (5-9 parts), fumed silica (3-5 parts), and curing agent (15-19 parts).
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] The fluorine groups in the modified silicone oil molecules have extremely low surface energy and spontaneously migrate to the surface during coating curing. Simultaneously, hydrophobic fumed silica nanoparticles construct a micro-nano rough structure on the coating surface, with both contributing to a synergistic hydrophobic and oleophobic effect. Furthermore, the epoxy groups on the modified silicone oil side chains chemically bond with the epoxy resin, rather than through physical blending, ensuring the fluorine groups are stably "anchored" to the coating surface, significantly enhancing adhesion and preventing migration and loss due to long-term use or rain erosion. The Si-O-Si flexible backbone of the modified silicone oil is uniformly dispersed within the epoxy crosslinking network, providing internal toughening. Additionally, the UV resistance of the Si-O bonds is far superior to that of the C-C bonds, offering dual protection and delaying coating aging. The co-curing reaction of the side-chain epoxy groups prevents phase separation and eliminates interfacial defects.
[0018] This invention utilizes a modified coating prepared by combining fluorinated epoxy bifunctional modified silicone oil with epoxy resin and fumed silica. This coating can simultaneously achieve the characteristics of high hydrophobicity and oleophobicity, strong adhesion, and excellent weather resistance, solving the problems of traditional epoxy coatings such as easy contamination, easy brittleness at low temperatures, and poor weather resistance. At the same time, it overcomes the defects of poor compatibility between pure fluorinated silicone oil and epoxy resin and easy performance degradation. Attached Figure Description

[0068] Table 1 shows that the composite coating with modified silicone oil exhibits significantly improved performance compared to the unmodified ordinary silicone oil coating and the pure epoxy resin coating. When the molar ratio of fluorinated groups to epoxy groups is 1:1 and it is combined with fumed silica, the coating achieves the best overall performance, balancing adhesion, hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and resistance to UV yellowing. Excessive fluorinated groups enhance hydrophobicity and oleophobicity but weaken adhesion, thus diminishing its practical application value. With no fluorine or excessive epoxy groups, adhesion remains stable, but hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and weather resistance are significantly degraded. Removing fumed silica significantly reduces the coating's hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and weather resistance. Insufficient modified silicone oil results in insufficient fluorinated groups and flexible segments, significantly reducing hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and low-temperature toughness. Excessive addition exceeds the compatibility threshold with epoxy resin, causing phase separation, leading to deterioration in adhesion and impact strength, increased construction defects, and only a slight improvement in hydrophobicity and oleophobicity before saturation. Insufficient addition of fumed silica prevents the formation of a continuous micro-nano rough structure, weakening the synergistic hydrophobic effect, reinforcing and thixotropic properties, and deteriorating aging resistance and workability. Excessive addition leads to particle agglomeration, destroying the cross-linking network, resulting in decreased adhesion and mechanical properties, and a deterioration in coating appearance and workability. In practical applications, the ratio of fluorinated / epoxy monomers can be fine-tuned according to the core requirements of the scenario (such as building exteriors, chemical equipment, and appliance casings) to adapt to different scenario needs.
