Waterborne superamphiphobic coatings with network structure for enhancing mechanical durability.

ABSTRACT: Superamphiphobic coatings may significantly change the wettability of a substrate, and so are attractive for applications in aero/marine engineering, biotechnology, and heat transfer. However, the coatings are caught in a double bind when their durability is considered, as they are vulnerable to mechanical abrasion. Meanwhile, the wide use of organic solvents for preparing the coatings generates environmental pollution. Here, we present a waterborne superamphiphobic coating through one-step spraying that repels a wide range of liquids. By tailoring the repellence of the nano-silica to waterborne resin, a network structure is constructed to protect the embedded nano-silica from damage. Thus, the coatings are durable against 725 cycles of friction tester abrasion under a load of 250 g, showing a significant improvement in the mechanical durability by 3-25 times. Moreover, our coating also shows excellent comprehensive durability, including resistance to oil-flow erosion, falling sand impact, chemical attack, thermal treatment, etc. This strategy can be introduced to various waterborne resins, demonstrating its universality, and may offer a new insight to design sustainable superamphiphobic coatings for long-term practical applications.

The Waterborne Superamphiphobic Coatings with Antifouling, High Temperature Resistance, and Corrosion Resistance.

Project description:Water-based superamphiphobic coatings are environment-friendly, which have attracted tremendous attention recently, but the performances are severely limited by the dispersibility of hydrophobic particles. To solve the poor dispersibility of modified silica powder with hydrophobicity, silica dispersion was blended with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) emulsion and modified aluminum tripolyphosphate (ATP) dispersion to successfully prepare water-based coatings. Multifunctional coatings were prepared by one-step spraying. It possessed good adhesion (grade 1), excellent antifouling, impact resistance, chemical stability (acid and alkali resistance for 96 h of immersion), and corrosion resistance (3.5 wt % NaCl solutions for 20 days). More importantly, the superamphiphobic coatings had high contact angles (CAs) and low slide angles (SAs) for ethylene glycol (CAs = 154 ± 0.8°; SAs = 13 ± 0.7°) and water (CAs = 158 ± 0.7°; SAs = 4 ± 0.3°). Furthermore, the composite coating was still hydrophobic after 35 cycles of wear with high roughness sandpaper (120 mesh) under three different loads, which maintained superamphiphobicity at 425 °C. This work is expected to provide a facile idea and method for the preparation of waterborne superamphiphobic coatings.

A Superamphiphobic Sponge with Mechanical Durability and a Self-Cleaning Effect.

Project description:A robust superamphiphobic sponge (SA-sponge) is proposed by using a single initiated chemical vapor deposition (i-CVD) process. Poly(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-heptadecafluorodecyl methacrylate) (PFDMA) is deposited on a commercial sponge by the polymerization of fluoroalkyl acrylates during the i-CVD process. This PFDMA is conformally coated onto both the exterior and interior of the sponge structure by a single step of the i-CVD process at nearly room temperature. Due to the inherent porous structure of the sponge and the hydrophobic property of the fluorine-based PFDMA, the demonstrated SA-sponge shows not only superhydrophobicity but also superoleophobicity. Furthermore, the fabricated SA-sponge is robust with regard to physical and chemical damage. The fabricated SA-sponge can be utilized for multi-purpose applications such as gas-permeable liquid separators.

Novel nitrogen doped carbon dots enhancing the anticorrosive performance of waterborne epoxy coatings.

Project description:There are lots of research studies reporting the excellent performances of waterborne epoxy resin coatings to reduce environmental VOC levels. However, it has also been manifested that waterborne epoxy resin coatings do not have high corrosion resistance because of being hydrophilic. Herein, we utilized a kind of N doped carbon dot (N-CD) which has high ethanol solubility and low cytotoxicity to enhance the corrosion resistance of waterborne epoxy resin coatings as a nanofiller. The N-CDs were obtained through a solvothermal method by using 4-aminosalicylic acid (ASA) as a precursor. The diameter and height of N-CDs confirmed by scanning probe microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are 3-5 nm. Corrosion resistance performance of the coatings without and with N-CDs is investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy by immersing them in 3.5 wt% NaCl (aq) for 70 days. The results indicate that the composite coatings with 0.5 wt% N-CDs show superior anticorrosive performance due to bond interactions between N-CDs and polymer chains, the defect repairing effect of N-CDs and the formation of compact Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 passivation layers.

Mechanically Robust and Thermally Stable Colorful Superamphiphobic Coatings.

Project description:Colorful super anti-wetting coatings are receiving growing attention, but are challenging to invent. Here, we report a general method for preparing mechanically robust and thermally stable colorful superamphiphobic coatings. A composite of palygorskite (PAL) nanorods and iron oxide red (IOR) was prepared by solid-state grinding or hydrothermal reaction, which was then modified by hydrolytic condensation of silanes to form a suspension. Superamphiphobic coatings were prepared by spray-coating the suspension onto substrates. The superamphiphobicity depends upon the surface microstructure and chemical composition, which are controllable by the PAL/IOR concentration and the solid-state grinding time. The colorful coatings show excellent superamphiphobicity with high contact angles and low sliding angles for water and various organic liquids of low surface tension, e.g., toluene and n-decane. The coatings also feature high mechanical, chemical and thermal stability, which is superior to all the reported colorful super anti-wetting coatings. Moreover, superamphiphobic coatings of different colors can be prepared via the same procedure using the other metal oxides instead of IOR. We believe the colorful superamphiphobic coatings may find applications in many fields like anti-climbing of oils and restoration of cultural relics, as the coatings are applicable onto various substrates.

Biomimetic Super Anti-Wetting Coatings from Natural Materials: Superamphiphobic Coatings Based on Nanoclays.

Project description:Superamphiphobic coatings (SAPCs) that resist wetting of water and low-surface-tension liquids have generated widespread attention in academia, but are very challenging to invent. Liquid adhesion, low stability, complicated and expensive preparation methods are the typical characteristics of SAPCs, which seriously hinder real-world applications of SAPCs. Here, we report a comprehensive study about preparation of SAPCs from abundant nanoclays with fibrous, plate-like and porous microstructures. The SAPCs are prepared simply by hydrolytic condensation of silanes in the presence of nanoclays, followed by spray-coating the as-formed suspensions onto substrates. The SAPCs feature high superamphiphobicity for various liquids down to a surface tension of 23.8 mN m-1 (n-decane), and high mechanical, chemical and thermal stability. The superamphiphobicity and stability depend on microscale and nanoscale surface morphology of the coatings, which are controllable by the microstructures of nanoclays and their acid activation. The fibrous nanoclays with moderate aspect ratio like palygorskite are the most suitable building blocks for the preparation of SAPCs by effectively forming the reentrant surface morphology. We believe that the findings will promote the progress of SAPCs, and pave the way for the development of clay-based super anti-wetting coatings.

Processing-Microstructure-Properties of Columns in Thermal Barrier Coatings: A Study of Thermo-Chemico-Mechanical Durability.

Project description:Contemporary gas turbine engines rely on thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), which protect the structural components of the engine against degradation at extremely high operating temperatures (1300-1500 °C). The operational efficiencies of aircraft engines have seen significant improvement in recent years, primarily through the increase in operating temperatures; however, the longevity of TBCs can be potentially impacted by several types of degradation mechanisms. In this comprehensive study, a wide range of novel columnar suspension plasma sprayed (SPS) coatings were developed for their erosion, calcium-magnesium-aluminum-silicate (CMAS), and furnace cycling test (FCT) performance. Through a comprehensive investigation, the first of its kind, we achieved a range of SPS microstructures by modifying the spray parameters and measuring their microhardness, fracture toughness, column densities, and residual stresses using Raman spectroscopy. We were able to produce dendritic, lateral, branched, and columnar microstructures with a unique set of processing parameters. Coatings enhanced with a refined columnar microstructure, achieved by modulating the distance from the plasma torch, exhibited superior thermal cycling resilience. Conversely, the development of a columnar microstructure with dendritic branches, obtained by decreasing the robot's traversal speed during deposition, bolstered resistance to erosion and minimized damage from molten CMAS infiltration, thereby notably augmenting the coating's lifespan and robustness. The pursuit of the optimal columnar microstructure led to the conclusion that for each SPS coating, a general framework of optimization needs to be conducted to achieve their desired thermo-chemico-mechanical resistance as the properties required for TBCs are intertwined.

Sorting Liquid Droplets by Surface Tension Using Devices with Quasi-Superamphiphobic Coatings.

Project description:Any solid surface with homogenous or varying surface energy can spontaneously show variable wettability to liquid droplets with different or identical surface tensions. Here, we studied a glass slide sprayed with a quasi-superamphiphobic coating consisting of a hexane suspension of perfluorosilane-coated nanoparticles. Four areas on the glass slide with a total length of 7.5 cm were precisely tuned via ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, and droplets with surface tensions of 72.1-33.9 mN m-1 were categorized at a tilting angle of 3°. Then, we fabricated a U-shaped device sprayed with the same coating and used it to sort the droplets more finely by rolling them in the guide groove of the device to measure their total rolling time and distance. We found a correlation between ethanol content/surface tension and rolling time/distance, so we used the same device to estimate the alcoholic strength of Chinese liquors and to predict the surface tension of ethanol aqueous solutions.

Superamphiphobic coatings based on liquid-core microcapsules with engineered capsule walls and functionality.

Project description:Microcapsules with specific functional properties, related to the capsule wall and core, are highly desired in a number of applications. In this study, hybrid cellulose microcapsules (1.2 ± 0.4 µm in diameter) were prepared by nanoengineering the outer walls of precursor capsules. Depending on the preparation route, capsules with different surface roughness (raspberry or broccoli-like), and thereby different wetting properties, could be obtained. The tunable surface roughness was achieved as a result of the chemical and structural properties of the outer wall of a precursor capsule, which combined with a new processing route allowed in-situ formation of silica nanoparticles (30-40 nm or 70 nm in diameter). By coating glass slides with "broccoli-like" microcapsules (30-40 nm silica nanoparticles), static contact angles above 150° and roll-off angles below 6° were obtained for both water and low surface-tension oil (hexadecane), rendering the substrate superamphiphobic. As a comparison, coatings from raspberry-like capsules were only strongly oleophobic and hydrophobic. The liquid-core of the capsules opens great opportunities to incorporate different functionalities and here hydrophobic superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) were encapsulated. As a result, magnetic broccoli-like microcapsules formed an excellent superamphiphobic coating-layer on a curved geometry by simply applying an external magnetic field.

Molecular Aggregation Structure and Surface Properties of Biomimetic Catechol-Bearing Poly[2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate] and Its Application to Superamphiphobic Coatings.

Project description:The molecular aggregation structure and surface properties of a catechol-bearing fluoropolymer, P(FAC8-co-DOPAm), which was synthesized by conventional radical copolymerization of 2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate (FAC8) and N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)acrylamide (DOPAm), and its application to the superamphiphobic surfaces are presented. The crystallinity of P(FAC8-co-DOPAm) was lower than that of poly[2-(perfluorooctyl)ethyl acrylate] (PFAC8). The perfluoroalkyl (Rf) groups were ordered on the surface with CF3 terminals exposed to air, and the Rf ordering was influenced by thermal history: the thermally annealed film exhibited higher Rf ordering than the unannealed one. The surface free energy was estimated to be γ = 7.32 mJ m-2 for both the unannealed and annealed films. Based on contact angle measurement, various interfacial structures of water and oils in accordance with the surface aggregation structure of Rf groups were proposed. Dewetting of the PFAC8 film at elevated temperature was suppressed by the introduction of catechol groups in the backbone. The degradation temperature of PFAC8 was improved significantly, and the evaporation of the low molar mass-polymer was inhibited by the introduction of catechol groups under both nitrogen and air atmospheres. The hydrophobicity of the copolymer films could be healed after the surface was damaged by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) irradiation. This copolymer was used to create superamphiphobic fabrics and halloysite nanotube (HNT)-based organic/inorganic hybrid coatings successfully. Wetting behaviors of the superamphiphobic fabrics and coatings both follow the Cassie-Baxter wetting model.
