Recently Emerging Nanotechnological Advancements in Polymer Nanocomposite Coatings for Anti-corrosion, Anti-fouling and Self-healing.

ABSTRACT: Recent nanotechnological advancements have enabled novel innovations in protective polymer nanocomposites (PNC) coatings for anti-corrosion, anti-fouling and self-healing services on material surfaces. Nanotechnology encompases research, manufacturing, and application of nanoparticulate architectures, tubular structures, sheets or plates exhibiting sizes below 100 nanometers (nm) in at least a single dimension. Inclusions of nanoparticles into organic entities have demonstrated enhanced properties essential for attainiment of aesthetics, anti-corrosion, thermal stability for high-temperature performances, mechanical strength essential for resisting coating deterioration in harsh environments, nano-architectural cross-linking capable of hindering penetration of corrosive, and biofouling entities. Unlike previously published literature, this paper elucidates very recently emerging important advancements in novel techniques utilized in developing PNC coatings for applications in aerospace, packaging, automotive, biomedicine, maritime, and oil and gas industries for attaining superior anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, and self-healing behaviors on critical material surfaces. Emerging market structures and novel applications are also presented.

Stable low-fouling plasma polymer coatings on polydimethylsiloxane.

Project description:Polydimethylsiloxane (DMS) is a popular material for microfluidics, but it is hydrophobic and is prone to non-specific protein adsorption. In this study, we explore methods for producing stable, protein resistant, tetraglyme plasma polymer coatings on PDMS by combining extended baking processes with multiple plasma polymer coating steps. We demonstrate that by using this approach, it is possible to produce a plasma polymer coatings that resist protein adsorption (<10 ng/cm(2)) and are stable to storage over at least 100 days. This methodology can translate to any plasma polymer system, enabling the introduction of a wide range of surface functionalities on PDMS surfaces.

Tunable High Refractive Index Polymer Hybrid and Polymer-Inorganic Nanocomposite Coatings.

Project description:Atomized spray plasma deposition (ASPD) provides a single-step, low-temperature, and dry approach for the preparation of high refractive index hybrid polymer or polymer-inorganic nanocomposite coatings. Refractive indices as high as 1.936 at 635 nm wavelength have been obtained for ASPD 4-bromostyrene/toluene-TiO2 nanocomposite layers containing low titania loadings. Thin films with any desired refractive index up to 1.936 can be easily deposited onto a variety of substrates by varying the precursor mixture composition. ASPD overcomes disadvantages commonly associated with alternative fabrication methods for depositing high refractive index coatings (elevated temperatures, wet processes, UV curing steps, and much greater inorganic loadings).

Comparison of anti-fouling surface coatings for applications in bacteremia diagnostics.

Project description:To accurately diagnose microbial infections in blood, it is essential to recover as many microorganisms from a sample as possible. Unfortunately, recovering such microorganisms depends significantly on their adhesion to the surfaces of diagnostic devices. Consequently, we sought to minimize the adhesion of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) to the surface of polypropylene- and acrylic-based bacteria concentration devices. These devices were treated with 11 different coatings having various charges and hydrophobicities. Some coatings promoted bacterial adhesion under centrifugation, whereas others were more likely to prevent it. Experiments were run using a simple buffer system and lysed blood, both inoculated with MSSA. Under both conditions, Hydromer's 7-TS-13 and Aqua65JL were most effective at reducing bacterial adhesion.

Superiority of Graphene over Polymer Coatings for Prevention of Microbially Induced Corrosion.

Project description:Prevention of microbially induced corrosion (MIC) is of great significance in many environmental applications. Here, we report the use of an ultra-thin, graphene skin (Gr) as a superior anti-MIC coating over two commercial polymeric coatings, Parylene-C (PA) and Polyurethane (PU). We find that Nickel (Ni) dissolution in a corrosion cell with Gr-coated Ni is an order of magnitude lower than that of PA and PU coated electrodes. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the Gr coating offers ~10 and ~100 fold improvement in MIC resistance over PU and PA coatings respectively. This finding is remarkable considering that the Gr coating (1-2 nm) is ~25 and ~4000 times thinner than the PA (40-50 nm), and PU coatings (20-80 μm), respectively. Conventional polymer coatings are either non-conformal when deposited or degrade under the action of microbial processes, while the electro-chemically inert graphene coating is both resistant to microbial attack and is extremely conformal and defect-free. Finally, we provide a brief discussion regarding the effectiveness of as-grown vs. transferred graphene films for anti-MIC applications. While the as-grown graphene films are devoid of major defects, wet transfer of graphene is shown to introduce large scale defects that make it less suitable for the current application.

Mussel-Inspired Self-Healing Coatings Based on Polydopamine-Coated Nanocontainers for Corrosion Protection.

Project description:The mussel-inspired properties of dopamine have attracted immense scientific interest for surface modification of nanoparticles due to the high potential of dopamine functional groups to increase the adhesion of nanoparticles to flat surfaces. Here, we report for the first time a novel type of inhibitor-loaded nanocontainer using polydopamine (PDA) as a pH-sensitive gatekeeper for mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). The encapsulated inhibitor (benzotriazole) was loaded into MSNs at neutral pH, demonstrating fast release in an acidic environment. The self-healing effect of water-borne alkyd coatings doped with nanocontainers was achieved by both on-demand release of benzotriazole during the corrosion process and formation of the complexes between the dopamine functional groups and iron oxides, thus providing dual self-healing protection for the mild steel substrate. The coatings were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, visual observations, and confocal Raman microscopy. In all cases, the coatings with embedded benzotriazole-loaded MSNs with PDA-decorated outer surfaces demonstrated superior self-healing effects on the damaged areas. We anticipate that dopamine-based multifunctional gatekeepers can find application potential not only in intelligent self-healing anticorrosive coatings but also in drug delivery, antimicrobial protection, and other fields.

Anti-Fouling Properties of Phosphonium Ionic Liquid Coatings in the Marine Environment.

Project description:Biofouling is the buildup of marine organisms on a submerged material. This research tests the efficacy of phosphonium ion gels comprising phosphonium monomers ([P444VB][AOT] and [P888VB][AOT]) and free ionic liquid ([P4448][AOT], [P88814][AOT]) (10 to 50 wt%), varying copper(II) oxide biocide concentrations (0 to 2 wt%), and the docusate anion [AOT]- for added hydrophobicity. The efficacy of these formulations was tested using a seachest simulator protected from light and tidal currents in New Zealand coastal waters over the summer and autumn periods. Anti-fouling performance was correlated with the hydrophobicity of the surface (water contact angle: 14-131°) and biocide concentration. Formulations with higher hydrophobicity (i.e., less free ionic liquid and longer alkyl chain substituents) displayed superior anti-fouling performance. The presence of the copper(II) biocide negatively affected anti-fouling performance via significant increases to hydrophilicity. No correlation was observed between antimicrobial activity and anti-fouling performance. Overall, phosphonium ion gels show potential for combining anti-fouling and foul release properties.

High-Performance, Degradable, Self-Healing Bio-Based Nanocomposite Coatings with Antibacterial and Antioxidant Properties.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to obtain a bio-based coating with good functional activity and self-healing ability, demonstrating its potential in food, materials, and other application fields. Plastic coatings can cause serious environmental pollution. It was a good solution to replace plastic coatings with degradable coatings. However, the development of degradable coatings in the fields of food and materials was limited due to their insufficient antibacterial ability and weak comprehensive properties. Therefore, chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with gallic acid (GA) were self-assembled with gelatin (GE) to prepare high-performance, degradable, self-healing bio-based nanocomposite coatings with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The oxygen permeability of GE nanocomposite coatings decreased gradually with the addition of NPs, and the barrier properties increased significantly. At the same time, due to the excellent antioxidant and antibacterial ability of GA, the antioxidant effect of the nanocomposite coatings increased by 119%, and the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) increased by 32% and 58%, respectively, compared with the pure GE coatings. In addition, the nanocomposite coatings can be repaired within 24 h after being scratched at room temperature. Finally, GA coated with chitosan nanoparticles can significantly delay the escape of GA, and the retardation of gallic acid release exceeded 89% in simulated solutions after 24 h immersion, extending the service life of the nanocomposite coatings.

Mechanically Strong, Hydrophobic, Antimicrobial, and Corrosion Protective Polyesteramide Nanocomposite Coatings from <i>Leucaena leucocephala</i> Oil: A Sustainable Resource.

Project description:The aim of this research work is to develop polyesteramide [LMPEA] nanocomposite coating material [LMPEA/Ag] using N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) fatty amide obtained from non-edible Leucaena leucocephala [LL] seed oil [LLO], and maleic anhydride, reinforced with silver nanoparticles [SNPs], biosynthesized in Leucaena leucocephala leaf extract. UV, XRD, TEM, and particle size analyses confirmed the biosynthesis of NP (37.55 nm). FTIR and NMR established the structure of LMPEA formed by esterification reaction, without any solvent/diluent. Coatings were mechanically strong, well adherent to substrate, flexibility retentive, hydrophobic, and antimicrobial as evident from good scratch hardness (2-3 kg), impact resistance (150 lb per inch), bend test (1/8 inch), high water contact angle measurement value (109°) relative to pristine LMPEA coating (89°), and broad-spectrum antimicrobial behavior against MRSA, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, A. baumannii, and C. albicans. LMPEA and LMPEA/Ag exhibited high corrosion protection efficiencies, 99.81% and 99.94%, respectively, in (3.5% w/v) NaCl solution for 20 days and safe usage up to 200 °C. The synthesized nanocomposite coatings provide an alternate pathway for utilization of non-edible Leucaena leucocephala seed oil through a safer chemical synthesis route, without the use/generation of any harmful solvent/toxic products, adopting "Green Chemistry" principles.

Progressive Applications of Hyperbranched Polymer Based on Diarylamine: Antimicrobial, Anti-Biofilm and Anti-Aerobic Corrosion.

Project description:New generations of hyperbranched aramids were synthesized from diarylamine and methyl acrylate using an AB2 monomer approach in a straightforward one-pot preparation. The chemical structure of hyperbranched Phenylenediamine/Methyl Acrylate HB(PDMA was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1HNMR) spectroscopy. In addition, the particle's size and distribution were recorded using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS). Moreover, the synthesized HB(PDMA)s displayed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as yeast strains and anti-biofilm activity where the highest activity was attributed to HB(PDMA)G4 at the lowest Minimum Inhibitory, Minimum Bactericidal, and Fungicidal Concentrations (MIC, MBC, and MFC, respectively). Furthermore, the HB(PDMA)s expressed anti-bacterial activity against isolated Pseudomonas sp. (R301) at a salinity of 35,000 ppm (NaCl). In addition, they revealed different corrosion inhibition efficiencies at the cultivated medium salinity at the estimated minimum bactericidal concentrations. The highest metal corrosion inhibition efficiencies were 59.5 and 94.3% for HB(PDMA)G4 at the Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (MBCs) and two times Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations (2XMBCs), respectively, in comparison to both negative and positive controls.

A Silver-Loaded Exfoliated Graphite Nanocomposite Anti-Fouling Electrochemical Sensor for Bisphenol A in Thermal Paper Samples.

Project description:Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized separately and loaded onto the expanded layers of exfoliated graphite (EG) to form a silver nanoparticle-exfoliated graphite nanocomposite (AgNPs-EG). The AgNPs-EG was compressed into a pellet (0.6 cm in diameter) and used to prepare an electrochemical sensor for bisphenol A (BPA) in standard samples and in thermal paper. The synthesized materials were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray. The electrochemical behavior of BPA on the AgNPs-EG sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. Under optimized experimental conditions, the oxidation peak current was linearly proportional to bisphenol A concentrations in the range from 5.0 to100 μM, with a coefficient of determination (R2 ) of 0.9981. The obtained limit of detection of the method was 0.23 μM. The fabricated sensor was able to overcome electrode fouling with good reproducibility (RSD = 2.62%, n = 5) by mechanical polishing of the electrode on emery paper. The proposed method was successfully applied to determine bisphenol A in thermal paper samples and demonstrated good accuracy of 93.1 to 113% recovery.
