    [Objective]To address the issues of superhydrophobic coating is prone to loss and thecoating exhibits poor long-term stability under harsh conditions,leading to the attenuation of anti-corrosion and anti-scaling performance and insufficient service durability.[Methods]In this study,a hydrothermal method was adopted to synthesize flower-like structured nano-ZnO particles,which were subsequently subjected to hydrophobic modification with hydroxyfluorosilicone oil. The superhydrophobic coating was fabricated via a spray-coating technique,and then the coating was impregnated with hydroxyfluorosilicone oil to form a super-slippery surface. Scanning electron microscope,contact angle measurement instrument,electrochemical workstation were used to characterize the wettability,wear resistance,chemical stability,corrosion resistance,and anti-scalingperformance of the coating.[Results]The super-slippery surface prepared by coating hydroxyfluorosilicone oil exhibits a water contact angle(WCA)of(132. 9±2. 1)° and a sliding angle of(6. 8±0. 3)° . The corrosion current density(Icorr)of the prepared super-slippery coating was 2. 81×10-11 A/cm2,and the corrosion potential(Ecorr) was -0. 32 V. Furthermore,after dynamic simulated scaling test in a 0. 01 mol/L Ca2+ solution for 7 days,the CaCO3 scaling amount on the surface of the super-slippery coating was only 3. 3 mg/cm2.[Conclusion]The coating possesses good mechanical properties and chemical stability,and exhibits excellent anti-corrosion and anti-scaling effects,providing an effective solution to the corrosion and scaling issues of industrial metal materials.

    [Objective]To address issues such as slow drying speed and short pot life during theapplication of waterborne epoxy primers.[Methods]Acrylic acid was used to perform ring-opening modification on epoxy resin,synthesizing a chain extender AAE51 containing carbon-carbon double bonds(C=C)capable of undergoing Michael addition reactions. Utilizing the characteristic that thedouble bond of this intermediate preferentially reacts with sterically hindered secondary amines(—NH—) during the Michael addition reaction,a waterborne epoxy curing agent with a highly crosslinked network structure was constructed. The chemical structure of the chain extender was characterized usingFourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The effects of the AAE51 addition amount on the stability of the curing agent,as well as the drying performance and corrosion resistance of the resulting coating films,were systematically investigated.[Results]When the addition amount of AAE51 in the waterborne epoxy curing agent was 8%(based on the total mass of the curing agent), the curing agent had moderate viscosity and good water solubility. The self-drying performance of the coating filmformulated with it at room temperature was significantly improved,reaching a hardness of HB in12 hours and H in 24 hours. It could withstand 336 hours of salt-spray testing without blistering on thepanel surface,and the peeling width in the scratched area was less than 3 mm. It also showed noblistering after 336 hours of initial water resistance testing,and the system viscosity maintained good stability within a 3-hour pot life.[Conclusion]In this study,through the Michael addition reaction, the NH groups that are difficult to react with epoxy are fully utilized to form a network structure,therebyincreasing the glass-transition temperature of the curing agent and achieving the goal of acceleratingthe drying speed of the film.

    [Objective]Solve the problems of slow film formation and low adhesion of tung oil-based waterborne coatings.[Methods]A method for preparing UV-curable tung oil-based waterbornelatex coatings was proposed by using double bond functionalized tung oil and polyvinyl acetatelatex/polystyrene(PVAc/PS) core-shell latex via external emulsification composite. By utilising themorphological effects of core-shell latex particles to accelerate the film-forming and water-drainageprocesses of the latex,and combining this with the UV-curing properties of modified tung oil,the curing rate and film properties of the waterborne latex were improved.[Results]Taking pentaerythritol triacrylate(PETA)modified tung oil composite latex as the research object,after adjusting the water-oil ratio and optimizing the emulsifier dosage,combined with particle size distribution and microstructure analysis,it was found that when the emulsifier addition amount was 6% and the water-oil ratio was 7∶3,the latex exhibited uniform particle size dispersion and excellent stability. UV-curingperformance tests showed that high oil phase or high emulsifier addition amount could shorten thecuring time,rapid UV-curing could be achieved in as fast as 22 seconds,and the UV-curing efficiencywas excellent. When the oil phase proportion was high or the emulsifier content was high,the peak value of the stress-strain curve of the paint film was high,the adhesion was stably maintained at level 1 or 0,and at the same time,the gloss was improved and the roughness was reduced.[Conclusion] Through the coordinated control of the water-oil ratio and emulsifier,tung oil-based waterborne latex coatings with good dispersion stability,rapid UV-curing and adjustable film properties can be prepared,providing technical support for the application of natural vegetable oil-based environmentallyfriendly coatings.

Then,it was incorporated into an epoxy coating,and applied onto the surface of Q420NH steel to construct a composite anti-corrosion coating. The morphology and composition of the composite filler were characterized,and its corrosion inhibition effect,as well as the corrosion resistance and self-healingperformance of the coating,were evaluated through release experiments,corrosion morphologyobservation,and electrochemical tests.[Results] The composite filler had a particle size about 100 nm,and the inhibitor loading was 17. 5%. When the addition amount of the composite filler was nomore than 2%,the corrosion resistance of the epoxy coating was effectively maintained,with the low-frequency impedance modulus remaining above 1010 Ω ·cm2 after 60 days of immersion in saline solution. For the scratched coating containing 2% composite filler,the low-frequency impedance modulus remained higher than 105 Ω ·cm2 after 168 h of immersion,the corrosion products in the scratched region were significantly reduced,and the characteristic Raman peaks of AMB were detected.[Conclusion] The incorporation of 2% composite filler can effectively enhance the protectiveperformance of the epoxy coating on Q420NH steel and endow the coating with excellent corrosion-inhibition self-healing capability.

    [Objective/Significance] Superhydrophobic coatings have significant potential in applications such as self-cleaning,anti-icing,and corrosion protection. The spraying method hasbecome an important approach for the engineering application of superhydrophobic surfaces due to itssimple process and ease of scalability. However,the micro-nano rough structure essential for superhydrophobicity in spray-coated surfaces is prone to failure due to filler shedding or wear,making poor durability a core bottleneck restricting their widespread application.[Analysis/Discussion/Progress] This paper systematically reviews the research progress on the durability of spray-applied superhydrophobic coatings. Starting from the theory of wettability,it elucidates the inherent mechanism of hydrophobic failure and summarizes enhancement strategies from three aspects:micro-nano structure optimization(such as multi-level rough structure,self-similar morphology),filler-resin interface strengthening(such as chemical bridging,interface modifiers),and dynamic coating repair (such as reversible coordination bonds,hydrogen bonds).[Conclusion/Prospect]Currently,althoughcertain progress has been made in the research and modification of spray-coated superhydrophobiccoatings,industrial application is still constrained by such as harsh service environments, environmental regulations,and cost. In the future,by continuously focusing on the long-term weather resistance,multi-functional synergistic enhancement,and green large-scale preparation technology of superhydrophobic coatings,we can gradually promote their industrial application.
