The invention discloses a transparent super-hydrophobic cultural relic protection material and a preparation method thereof.The method comprises the steps that firstly, a hydrolyzed
silane coupling agent is grafted to the surface of
silicon dioxide, then amino of the hydrolyzed
silane coupling agent reacts with carboxyl of chain
fatty acid, chain
alkyl is grafted to the surfaces of
silicon dioxide particles, and the transparent super-hydrophobic cultural relic protection material is obtained. The
prepared material has excellent super-hydrophobicity, the
contact angle of water drops on the surface of a
coating is large, the
rolling angle of the water drops on the surface of the
coating is small, the water drops are difficult to stay on the surface of the
coating, and therefore water
permeation is effectively prevented. Meanwhile, due to the transparency of the
silicon dioxide particles and the chain
fatty acid, the coating can keep high transparency, and the original color and pattern of the cultural relic cannot be shielded or changed. The
silane coupling agent serves as a bridge for connecting the
silicon dioxide particles and the chain
fatty acid, the chemical bonding effect in the coating can be enhanced, the coating is not prone to aging and
cracking, the material has the advantages of being good in high
temperature resistance and
ultraviolet light resistance, and therefore the preservation life of the cultural relics is prolonged.
