Abstract

To address issues such as cumbersome preparation processes for conventional superhydrophobic coating,superhydrophobic coating was prepared by using mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MCM-41)as filler and carrier,polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)as low surface energy modifiers,and epoxy resin and its curing agent as film former. The morphologies,structure,hydrophobicity and adhesion of coating was characterized by FE-SEM,confocal microscope,contact angle meter and tensile testing machine. The influence of MCM-41 modified by PDMS(MCM-41/PDMS)and resin matrix mass ratio on coating performancewere mainly investigated. The results showed that the optimum match of wettability(CA=150°, SA=9°)and adhesion(7. 33 MPa)could be obtained when the content of MCM-41/PDMS was55%. The water contact angle of coating surface remained over 150° after 300 times tape peeling test and 150 cycles abrasion test.
