Robust Superhydrophobic and Repellent Coatings Based on Micro/Nano SiO2 and Fluorinated Epoxy
Source abstract
Abstract
Superhydrophobic surfaces possess low mechanical strength, and can be easily contaminated by fluids with low surface tension, such as oil; this hinders their practical applications. In this study, fluorinated epoxy was prepared through the thiol-ene click reaction at first. The superhydrophobic surface with high oil-repellency was prepared by the addition of unmodified nano-SiO2 and micron-SiO2 to the fluorinated epoxy. The effect of the ratio of micro- and nano-silica particles on the morphology and wettability of the coating was investigated. It was shown that a re-entrant structure appears and FEP-S coating has good liquid repellency when the amounts of nano-SiO2 and micro-SiO2 are equal. The contact angles of the FEP-S coating (coating with the best liquid repellent performance) for water, glycerol, ethylene glycol, and diiodomethane were 158.6° ± 1.1°, 152.4° ± 0.9°, 153.4° ± 1.3°, and 140.7° ± 0.9°, respectively. In addition, the superhydrophobic coatings possess excellent mechanical and chemical durability, excellent performance in self-cleaning, corrosion resistance, and anti-icing properties. The preparation method of superhydrophobic coating is relatively simple; therefore, it has a wide range of applications and can also be applied to various substrates.
