The invention relates to a
vaterite carrier, a dye-loaded
vaterite functional filler, a preparation method of the dye-loaded
vaterite functional filler and an anti-
corrosion early-warning
coating. The preparation method of the vaterite carrier comprises the following steps: placing a
calcium salt
aqueous solution in a reactor with a sand core gas
disperser, introducing high-purity CO2 gas into the
reaction system through the sand core gas
disperser, continuously introducing CO2, monitoring the pH value of the reaction liquid, stopping the reaction, immediately stopping introducing gas, filtering, washing, and
drying to obtain the vaterite carrier. And dispersing the washed wet
filter cake to form a suspension with the
solid content of 10%-20%, and performing
spray drying to form the vaterite carrier with a porous or hollow structure. According to the
coating provided by the invention, when the local
humidity of the
coating is increased and
moisture permeates, vaterite is subjected to
phase change, and
extrusion force generated by structural densification pumps dye in pores out to the surface of the coating, so that macroscopic color change (such as blue or red spots) is generated, and visual early warning without
external energy is realized.
