This invention discloses a Janus particle crosslinking agent, a two-step preparation method, and its applications, belonging to the field of functional
coating technology. The Janus particle crosslinking agent comprises SiO2 particles, one end of which is modified with a hydrophilic
isocyanate group, and the other end with a low
surface energy material,
hydrogen-containing
silicone oil. The Janus particle crosslinking agent with the
hydrogen-containing
silicone oil as the hydrophobic side can achieve directional arrangement, thereby imparting excellent hydrophobic properties to the
coating. Utilizing the
isocyanate group of the Janus particle crosslinking agent, it can not only exert its crosslinking effect in the
coating but also stabilize the
toluene / water
Pickering emulsion. The two-step preparation method involves using
hydrogen-containing
silicone oil as a modifier to prepare J(SiO2·PMHS) particles via the
Pickering emulsion interface method; then, using
isocyanate propyltriethoxysilane as a modifier, a one-pot method is used to prepare the Janus particle crosslinking agent with the isocyanate group as the hydrophilic end and the hydrogen-containing
silicone oil as the hydrophobic end. The isocyanate groups in the crosslinking agent are directly modified on one side of the
Janus particles, thereby enabling them to play their crosslinking role in the coating and improving the
wear resistance of the coating.
