Abstract
Coatings with liquid repellent or antifouling ability are highly desirable in various fields. However, it is still a challenge to prepare solvent-free and room-temperature curable coating with high hardness, great antifouling performance, durability and large-area applicability. Herein, a novel strategy is reported to prepare organic/silicone hybrid coating by using amine-closed hyperbranched polysiloxane (SHPSi) as a latent curing, and diisocyanate containing a small amount of PFPE as an organic connecting part. In the presence of moisture, the mixture of the latent curing and the organic part can be cured at room temperature, and the smooth and low surface energy coating was obtained. The prepared hybrid coating had great transparency with the transmittance over 90 %. Due to the migration tendency of the PFPE to the air side, the surface energy of the hybrid coating decreased from 35.9 mJ/m2 to 13.5 mJ/m2 with 0.5 wt% PFPE, and the hybrid coating exhibited excellent antifouling ability. Besides, the hybrid coating can maintain the antifouling ability even after 2000 abrasion cycles. Furthermore, the great stability for various corrosive solutions and UV radiation was also achieved. More interestingly, the hybrid coating can be employed to protect various substrates, and large-area substrate was also realized. Therefore, this work would promote the application of high-performance organic/silicone hybrid coatings in an eco-friendly way.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
