Comparison of Crosslinking Efficiency in Dip and Roll-Deposited Coatings on Their Oxygen Barrier.

ABSTRACT: Coating techniques are key factors in determining coated film properties. In the present study, nanocomposite coatings of poly(vinyl alcohol) and a nanoclay, montmorillonite, were deposited layer-by-layer using roll (doctor blade, DB) and dip coating techniques, in an effort to compare the impact of these techniques on the crosslinking efficiency and oxygen barrier of the coated films. The barrier properties at different relative humidities were tested, and the extent of nanoclay intercalation as well as the films' morphology was investigated. Barrier was further improved by crosslinking the coating with glyoxal and glutaraldehyde. Both techniques gave similar results but with a higher impact of relative humidity in roll coated films. Better results were achieved by tailoring the composition of those coatings to favor a higher density of hydrogen bonding in the coating.

Tailored Crosslinking Process and Protective Efficiency of Epoxy Coatings Containing Glycidyl-POSS.

Project description:Versatile product protective coatings that deliver faster drying times and shorter minimum overcoat intervals that enable curing at faster line speeds and though lower energy consumption are often desired by coating manufacturers. Product protective coatings, based on silsesquioxane-modified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin, are prepared through a glycidyl ring-opening polymerization using dicyandiamide (DICY) as a curing agent. As silsesquioxane modifier serves the octaglycidyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (GlyPOSS). To decrease the operational temperature of the curing processes, three different accelerators for crosslinking are tested, i.e., N,N-benzyl dimethylamine, 2-methylimidazole, and commercial Curezol 2MZ-A. Differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-dependent FT-IR spectroscopy, and rheology allow differentiation among accelerators' effectiveness according to their structure. The former only contributed to epoxy ring-opening, while the latter two, besides participate in crosslinking. The surface roughness of the protective coatings on aluminum alloy substrate decreases when the accelerators are applied. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirms that coatings with accelerators are more homogeneous. The protective efficiency is tested with a potentiodynamic polarization technique in 0.5 M NaCl electrolyte. All coatings containing GlyPOSS, either without or with accelerators, reveal superior protective efficiency compared to neat DGEBA/DICY coating.

Transparent Pullulan/Mica Nanocomposite Coatings with Outstanding Oxygen Barrier Properties.

Project description:This study presents a new bionanocomposite coating on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) made of pullulan and synthetic mica. Mica nanolayers have a very high aspect ratio (?), at levels much greater than that of conventional exfoliated clay layers (e.g., montmorillonite). A very small amount of mica (0.02 wt %, which is ? ? 0.00008) in pullulan coatings dramatically improved the oxygen barrier performance of the nanocomposite films under dry conditions, however, this performance was partly lost as the environmental relative humidity (RH) increased. This outcome was explained in terms of the perturbation of the spatial ordering of mica sheets within the main pullulan phase, because of RH fluctuations. This was confirmed by modelling of the experimental oxygen transmission rate (OTR) data according to Cussler's model. The presence of the synthetic nanobuilding block (NBB) led to a decrease in both static and kinetic coefficients of friction, compared with neat PET (?12% and 23%, respectively) and PET coated with unloaded pullulan (?26% reduction in both coefficients). In spite of the presence of the filler, all of the coating formulations did not significantly impair the overall optical properties of the final material, which exhibited haze values below 3% and transmittance above 85%. The only exception to this was represented by the formulation with the highest loading of mica (1.5 wt %, which is ? ? 0.01). These findings revealed, for the first time, the potential of the NBB mica to produce nanocomposite coatings in combination with biopolymers for the generation of new functional features, such as transparent high oxygen barrier materials.

Hybrid Gibbsite Nanoplatelet/Cellulose Nanocrystal Multilayered Coatings for Oxygen Barrier Improvement.

Project description:We have investigated the ability of multilayered hybrid thin films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and gibbsite nanoplatelets (GNPs) to be built by the layer-by-layer (LbL) technique onto substrates selected for packaging applications, and to improve the oxygen barrier properties. Using complementary structural characterization techniques, namely atomic force microscopy, ellipsometry, and spectral reflectance, we show that when deposited onto model silicon substrates these hybrid films were homogenous and of reduced porosity, and were comprised of alternately deposited monolayers of GNPs and CNCs. The successful deposition of such homogeneous and dense hybrid thin films onto various types of flexible substrates showing different chemical compositions, hydrophilicity, and surface morphology, ranging from cardboard to smart paper, polyethylene (PE) films, and PE-coated cardboard was also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy observations. In view of the diversity of these substrates we could confirm the remarkable robustness of such a deposition process, likely due to (i) the adaptability of the LbL assembling technique and (ii) the strong electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions between GNPs and CNCs. The measurement of the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) at 23°C and 50% RH showed that the oxygen barrier properties of the bare substrates could be significantly improved (e.g., 75% decrease of the OTR) after the deposition of such thin (<100 nm) multilayered hybrid films. This lowered permeability was tentatively attributed to the highly tortuous morphology of the coating, acting to impede the gas diffusion. These partially biosourced very thin films stand as good candidates for using as coatings showing high oxygen barrier performance.

Single-Step Application of Polyelectrolyte Complex Films as Oxygen Barrier Coatings.

Project description:Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) films such as polyelectrolyte multilayers have demonstrated excellent oxygen barrier properties, but unfortunately, the established layer-by-layer approaches are laborious and difficult to scale up. Here, we demonstrate a novel single-step approach to produce a PEC film, based on the use of a volatile base. Ammonia was used to adjust the pH of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) so that direct complexation was avoided when it was mixed with polyethylenimine (PEI). Different charge ratios of homogeneous PEI/PAA solutions were successfully prepared and phase diagrams varying the concentration of ammonia or polyelectrolyte were made to study the phase behavior of PEI, PAA, and ammonia in water. Transparent ∼1 μm thick films were successfully deposited on biaxially orientated polypropylene (BOPP) sheets using a Meyer rod. After casting the films, the decrease in pH, caused by the evaporation of ammonia, triggered the complexation during drying. The oxygen permeation properties of films with different ratios and single polyelectrolytes were tested. All films displayed excellent oxygen barrier properties, with an oxygen permeation below 4 cm3·m-2·day-1·atm-1 (<0.002 barrer) at the optimum ratio of 2:1 PEI/PAA. This ammonia evaporation-induced complexation approach creates a new pathway to prepare PEC films in one simple step while allowing the possibility of recycling.

Synthesis and Crystallization of Waterborne Thiol-ene Polymers: Toward Innovative Oxygen Barrier Coatings.

Project description:The synthesis of waterborne thiol-ene polymer dispersions is challenging due to the high reactivity of thiol monomers and the premature thiol-ene polymerization that leads to high irreproducibility. By turning this challenge into an advantage, a synthesis approach of high solid content film-forming waterborne poly(thioether) prepolymers is reported based on initiator-free step growth sonopolymerization. Copolymerization of bifunctional thiol and ene monomers diallyl terephthalate, glycol dimercaptoacetate, glycol dimercaptopropionate, and 2,2-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol gave rise to linear poly(thioether) functional chains with molar mass ranging between 7 and 23 kDa when synthesized at 30% solid content and between 1 and 9 kDa at increased solid content of 50%. To further increase the polymers' molar mass, an additional photopolymerization step was performed in the presence of a water-soluble photoinitiator, i.e., lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate, leading to high molar mass chains of up to 200 kDa, the highest reported so far for step grown poly(thioethers). The polymer dispersions presented good film-forming ability at room temperature, yielding semicrystalline films with a high potential for barrier coating applications. Nevertheless, affected by the polymer chemical repeating structure, which includes an aromatic ring, these thiol-ene chains can only crystallize very slowly from the molten state. Herein, for the first time, we present the successful implementation of a self-nucleation (SN) procedure for these types of poly(thioethers), which effectively accelerates their crystallization kinetics.

Improved Stability of Atomic Layer Deposited Amorphous TiO<sub>2</sub> Photoelectrode Coatings by Thermally Induced Oxygen Defects.

Project description:Amorphous titanium dioxide (a-TiO2) combined with an electrocatalyst has shown to be a promising coating for stabilizing traditional semiconductor materials used in artificial photosynthesis for efficient photoelectrochemical solar-to-fuel energy conversion. In this study we report a detailed analysis of two methods of modifying an undoped thin film of atomic layer deposited (ALD) a-TiO2 without an electrocatalyst to affect its performance in water splitting reaction as a protective photoelectrode coating. The methods are high-temperature annealing in ultrahigh vacuum and atomic hydrogen exposure. A key feature in both methods is that they preserve the amorphous structure of the film. Special attention is paid to the changes in the molecular and electronic structure of a-TiO2 induced by these treatments. On the basis of the photoelectrochemical results, the a-TiO2 is susceptible to photocorrosion but significant improvement in stability is achieved after heat treatment in vacuum at temperatures above 500 °C. On the other hand, the hydrogen treatment does not increase the stability despite the ostensibly similar reduction of a-TiO2. The surface analysis allows us to interpret the improved stability to the thermally induced formation of O- species within a-TiO2 that are essentially electronic defects in the anionic framework.

Long-Term Evaluation of Dip-Coated PCL-Blend-PEG Coatings in Simulated Conditions.

Project description:Our study focused on the long-term degradation under simulated conditions of coatings based on different compositions of polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol blends (PCL-blend-PEG), fabricated for titanium implants by a dip-coating technique. The degradation behavior of polymeric coatings was evaluated by polymer mass loss measurements of the PCL-blend-PEG during immersion in SBF up to 16 weeks and correlated with those yielded from electrochemical experiments. The results are thoroughly supported by extensive compositional and surface analyses (FTIR, GIXRD, SEM, and wettability investigations). We found that the degradation behavior of PCL-blend-PEG coatings is governed by the properties of the main polymer constituents: the PEG solubilizes fast, immediately after the immersion, while the PCL degrades slowly over the whole period of time. Furthermore, the results evidence that the alteration of blend coatings is strongly enhanced by the increase in PEG content. The biological assessment unveiled the beneficial influence of PCL-blend-PEG coatings for the adhesion and spreading of both human-derived mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells.

Fracture Mechanics and Oxygen Gas Barrier Properties of Al₂O₃/ZnO Nanolaminates on PET Deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition.

Project description:Rapid progress in the performance of organic devices has increased the demand for advances in the technology of thin-film permeation barriers and understanding the failure mechanisms of these material systems. Herein, we report the extensive study of mechanical and gas barrier properties of Al₂O₃/ZnO nanolaminate films prepared on organic substrates by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Nanolaminates of Al₂O₃/ZnO and single compound films of around 250 nm thickness were deposited on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foils by ALD at 90 °C using trimethylaluminium (TMA) and diethylzinc (DEZ) as precursors and H₂O as the co-reactant. STEM analysis of the nanolaminate structure revealed that steady-state film growth on PET is achieved after about 60 ALD cycles. Uniaxial tensile strain experiments revealed superior fracture and adhesive properties of single ZnO films versus the single Al₂O₃ film, as well as versus their nanolaminates. The superior mechanical performance of ZnO was linked to the absence of a roughly 500 to 900 nm thick sub-surface growth observed for single Al₂O₃ films as well as for the nanolaminates starting with an Al₂O₃ initial layer on PET. In contrast, the gas permeability of the nanolaminate coatings on PET was measured to be 9.4 × 10-3 O₂ cm³ m-2 day-1. This is an order of magnitude less than their constituting single oxides, which opens prospects for their applications as gas barrier layers for organic electronics and food and drug packaging industries. Direct interdependency between the gas barrier and the mechanical properties was not established enabling independent tailoring of these properties for mechanically rigid and impermeable thin film coatings.

Investigations of the Deuterium Permeability of As-Deposited and Oxidized Ti2AlN Coatings.

Project description:Aluminum containing Mn+1AXn (MAX) phase materials have attracted increasing attention due to their corrosion resistance, a pronounced self-healing effect and promising diffusion barrier properties for hydrogen. We synthesized Ti2AlN coatings on ferritic steel substrates by physical vapor deposition of alternating Ti- and AlN-layers followed by thermal annealing. The microstructure developed a {0001}-texture with platelet-like shaped grains. To investigate the oxidation behavior, the samples were exposed to a temperature of 700 °C in a muffle furnace. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) depth profiles revealed the formation of oxide scales, which consisted mainly of dense and stable ?-Al2O3. The oxide layer thickness increased with a time dependency of ~t1/4. Electron probe micro analysis (EPMA) scans revealed a diffusion of Al from the coating into the substrate. Steel membranes with as-deposited Ti2AlN and partially oxidized Ti2AlN coatings were used for permeation tests. The permeation of deuterium from the gas phase was measured in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) permeation cell by mass spectrometry at temperatures of 30-400 °C. We obtained a permeation reduction factor (PRF) of 45 for a pure Ti2AlN coating and a PRF of ~3700 for the oxidized sample. Thus, protective coatings, which prevent hydrogen-induced corrosion, can be achieved by the proper design of Ti2AlN coatings with suitable oxide scale thicknesses.

Functional Antimicrobial Surface Coatings Deposited onto Nanostructured 316L Food-Grade Stainless Steel.

Project description:In our study, we demonstrated the performance of antimicrobial coatings on properly functionalized and nanostructured 316L food-grade stainless steel pipelines. For the fabrication of these functional coatings, we employed facile and low-cost electrochemical techniques and surface modification processes. The development of a nanoporous structure on the 316L stainless steel surface was performed by following an electropolishing process in an electrolytic bath, at a constant anodic voltage of 40 V for 10 min, while the temperature was maintained between 0 and 10 °C. Subsequently, we incorporated on this nanostructure additional coatings with antimicrobial and bactericide properties, such as Ag nanoparticles, Ag films, or TiO2 thin layers. These functional coatings were grown on the nanostructured substrate by following electroless process, electrochemical deposition, and atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques. Then, we analyzed the antimicrobial efficiency of these functionalized materials against different biofilms types (Candida parapsilosis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis). The results of the present study demonstrate that the nanostructuring and surface functionalization processes constitute a promising route to fabricate novel functional materials exhibiting highly efficient antimicrobial features. In fact, we have shown that our use of an appropriated association of TiO2 layer and Ag nanoparticle coatings over the nanostructured 316L stainless steel exhibited an excellent antimicrobial behavior for all biofilms examined.
