Abstract

[Objective]To solve the problem of hydrophobicity degradation of protective coatings caused by mechanical wear and chemical erosion during service. Octadecylamine(ODA) is encapsulated in periodic mesoporous organosilica(PMO) to obtain PMO@ODA fillers. This fillers enable the coating to release ODA responsively even after being damaged several times,therebyendowing the coating with hydrophobicity self-healing function and improving its hydrophobicity andcorrosion resistance.[Method] PMO@ODA filler loaded with ODA was prepared by a one-potmethod. The EP/PO composite coating was prepared by incorporating 3%PMO@ODA into modifiedepoxy resin. After being damaged by etching or grinding,the coating self-repaired by heating at 80 ℃, then its performance was evaluated by electrochemical tests and salt spray test.[Results]The water contact angle of EP/PO coating was 102°,indicating good hydrophobicity. After 5 cycles of etching-repair or grinding-repair,the water contact angle remained stable(102° after etching-repair and 142° after grinding-repair). When immersed in 3. 5%NaCl solution for 28 days,the low-frequency impedance modulus was still over 1010 Ω·cm2,and the metal showed almost no corrosion;after 30 days of salt spray test,only slight corrosion was observed at the scratches.[Conclusion]The EP/PO composite coating has excellent hydrophobicity,self-healing ability and corrosion resistance. ODA can be released responsively to achieve hydrophobicity repair,providing an effective solution to the problem of performance degradation of coatings during service.
