The present application belongs to the technical field of
high polymer protective material, and particularly relates to a preparation method and application of a photo-thermal super-hydrophobic
coating with self-repairing and anti-
icing and de-
icing performances. The present application first loads 1,10-
phenanthroline into the lumen of
halloysite nanotubes through vacuum-assisted adsorption, then forms a polydopamine
coating layer on the surface of the
halloysite nanotubes by in-situ self-
polymerization of
dopamine under alkaline conditions, and then modifies the composite particles by
silanization and fluorination to endow the particles with low
surface energy. Finally, the obtained composite filler is uniformly dispersed in
epoxy resin, coated and cured to form a
coating. The coating prepared by the method of the present application exhibits excellent super-hydrophobicity and self-repairing performance, and can accurately release
corrosion inhibitor to restore its protective performance when damaged. In addition, the coating exhibits excellent
icing delay and active de-icing performance. The photo-thermal self-repairing super-hydrophobic coating provides a promising solution to the
corrosion and icing challenges in low-temperature marine environments.
