Wood materials are vulnerable to degradation induced by multiple biotic and abiotic factors, and surface coating serves as the most straightforward protective approach. However, traditional petroleum-derived coatings pose environmental risks and exhibit poor biodegradability. Consequently, the development of bio-based coatings has attracted extensive research attention. Lignin, the world's second most abundant organic polymer, exhibits potential to enhance coating properties such as UV resistance, mechanical strength, and durability due to its inherent chemical structure. Nevertheless, challenges in lignin application include poor dispersibility and inadequate interfacial compatibility. This review systematically summarizes progressive modification strategies to enhance lignin's hydrophobicity, environmental durability, and stability, thereby improving its utilization efficiency. Finally, it outlines recent research progress on lignin as a coating material and multifunctional filler.

This paper focused on how the arrangement of nanofillers in coatings affected their reinforcement of resins. Mono-aminopropyllsobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (MAPOSS) was employed to modify graphene oxide (GO) to address their dispersion issues (PG). By controlling the spray method, the arrangement of PG within the polyimide (PI) was regulated, resulting in the preparation of M-PG/PI (spraying after uniformly mixing PG and PI), L-PG/PI (alternately spraying PI and GO to form a single-layer interleaved coating), and T-PG/PI (alternately spraying PI and GO to form a thick interleaved coating). GO/PI coatings were obtained using the same methods for comparative explorations. Further investigate the effects of nanoflakes arrangement on coating hardness, friction and wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Research has found that the hardness of the L-PG/PI coating increased by 4% compared to the M-PG/PI, while its coefficient of friction decreased by 6.95% and the wear rate was decreased by 0.3%. However, the M-PG/PI has the best corrosion resistance with a lower corrosion current density, followed by L-PG/PI and T-PG/PI. In summary, the L-type coating formed by alternating single-layer stacking of nanosheets and resin was more conducive to enhancing tribological properties, while the uniformly mixed M-type coating was more effective at improving corrosion resistance. Conversely, thick coating with alternating stack structures has a significant negative impact on enhancing coating performance.

To address the issue of construction steel corrosion caused by protective coating failure, this work synthesized Layered double hydroxides (LDH) functionalized microcapsules to enhance active-passive synergistic protection of coating. The composite shell of the microcapsules provides passive protection through enhanced hydrophobicity and chloride adsorption, while the core material isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) offers active self-healing functionality. The wettability, particle morphology, physicochemical properties, and chloride adsorption behavior of the microcapsules were investigated. The state, mechanical properties, self-healing characteristics, and anti-corrosion performance of the construction steel coatings were systematically evaluated. Experimental results demonstrated that the microcapsules exhibited passive hydrophobicity and improved chloride adsorption performance by mitigating LDH agglomeration. These passive anti-corrosion properties provided enhanced resistance to the penetration of corrosive media in the steel coatings, delaying the onset of steel corrosion. Ultra-depth quantitative analysis provided evidence of the active self-healing performance in the microcapsule-containing coatings. Furthermore, neutral salt spray tests revealed that the microcapsules significantly improved the anti-corrosion performance of the steel coating in simulated chloride-rich humid atmospheric environments. Electrochemical tests recorded an exceptional inhibition efficiency above 97% for the coating with 15% microcapsule content, reaching a peak at 98.95% within 4 days. In summary, the microcapsules synergistically enhanced the anti-corrosion properties of construction steel coatings through combined active-passive protection mechanisms.

High-performance oleo-hyperbranched sustainable polyesters (HBPE) are gaining a great deal of attention because of their strong anticorrosive features, low fluidity, high viscosity, with low or no volatile organic compound content. These characteristics make them useful materials for developing high-performance, inexpensive, and sustainable polymer coatings. The synthesis, characterization and electrochemical corrosion studies on TiO2 dispersed hyper-branched castor oil polyester nanocomposite coatings have been reported. FT-IR, NMR (1H, 13C), and GPC methods were used to investigate the structural characteristics, degree of branching and molecular weight distribution. Standard methods were used to assess the water-repellent qualities, glass transition temperature, thermal stability, physico-chemical, and physico-mechanical aspects. Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the anticorrosive performance of bare carbon steel (CS), HBPE-PBMF-80, and HBPE-PBMF-80-TiO₂-x coatings (x = 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 wt. % TiO₂). These findings demonstrated that, in comparison to HBPE-PBMF-80 and other previously documented systems, the HBPE-PBMF-TiO₂-x nanocomposite coatings display significantly improved physico-mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.

Protection of wood against environmental degradation requires advanced surface protection strategies like imitating nature's lotus effect, characterized by the superhydrophobic surface of lotus leaves with hierarchical micro- and nanoscale structures. This study replicates said phenomenon by coating wood surfaces with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) derived from cotton linters. At first, microcrystalline cellulose was converted to CNCs by high-pressure homogenization and subsequent hydrophobization using esterification with lauroyl chloride. The resulting lauroyl-modified CNCs (LCNC) were dispersed in a non-polar solvent at 2 wt% and applied to beech wood specimens in a low quantity of 0.8–1.6 g/m2 by spraying. ATR-FTIR and 13C NMR measurements confirmed a successful modification. Water contact angle measurements (WCA) verified successful hydrophobization of LCNCs demonstrating WCAs up to 150° on pressed LCNC pellets. Wood surfaces coated with LCNCs showed enhanced hydrophobicity over a 10 min time period with initial WCAs up to 125°, surpassing those of commercial oil-based wood coatings. Additionally, the coating was highly transparent, preserving the natural color, gloss, and brightness of wood. The present study demonstrates that coating with hydrophobized CNCs enables transparent, and highly hydrophobic wood surfaces with enhanced abrasion resistance, thus offering an effective and visually unobtrusive strategy for green wood protection.

An eco-friendly, solvent-free waterborne hydroxyacrylate dispersion was developed using a castor-oil hyperbranched polyester polyol (COHPE) as a reactive diluent, enabling the preparation of two-component waterborne polyurethane (2 K WPU) coatings with intrinsic damping functionality. The COHPE was synthesized via esterification and incorporated into the waterborne hydroxyacrylate system to simultaneously reduce viscosity and enhance processability without the use of volatile organic solvents (VOC). The resulting dispersion (COHPE-WA-30) exhibited excellent colloidal stability and uniform particle sizes, while the cured films demonstrated a break strength of 6.81 MPa, elongation at break of 22.26%, and a static water contact angle of 86.2° ± 0.19°. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed the tan δ value remains greater than 0.3 within the temperature range of 43–101 °C, confirming superior damping performance. Moreover, the solvent-low 2 K WPU coatings achieved excellent adhesion (5B), gloss, and solvent resistance, combined with enhanced thermal stability. This study establishes an environmentally benign and scalable approach for fabricating high-performance 2 K WPU coatings that integrate renewable materials, solvent-low processing, and multifunctional mechanical-damping behavior.

Ice accumulation severely threatens the safe operation of critical systems, and passive icephobic surfaces have attracted significant attention as an effective strategy. Conventionally, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) achieve ultralow ice adhesion, but the durability is undermined by lubricant depletion under complex environmental conditions. In this study, we propose a phase-change-driven solid-state lubricating icephobic surfaces (PLIPS), which achieves nearly zero ice adhesion through interfacial physical isolation, and the performance can be fully regenerated through lubricant replenishment and in-situ absorption. The coating consists of a gel network formed by blending epoxy resin, polydimethylsiloxane, and alkanes, where the alkanes crystallize and migrate toward the surface driven by low temperature, forming a porous solid lubricating layer at the ice-coating interface, which serves as a thermal barrier and physically separates the ice from the substrate. Through systematic investigation of lubricant migration, phase transition, and replenishment behavior, the PLIPS achieved nearly zero ice adhesion strength and a 137% longer droplet freezing delay (1018 s at −20 °C) compared with the PDMS-only control. After 30 icing–deicing cycles, ice adhesion remained extremely low (< 35 kPa), and the initial performance could be fully restored through simple thermal immersion for lubricant replenishment. This work provides a novel strategy for durable and replenishable anti-icing coatings.

Passive radiative cooling (PRC) has attracted considerable attention in personal thermal management due to its zero-energy consumption and zero-pollution. However, PRC textiles in outdoor applications are susceptible to contamination, resulting in performance degradation. Inspired by the self-cleaning surface of lotus leaves, a biomimetic superhydrophobic cotton fabric for long-term passive radiative cooling was successfully fabricated by constructing ZIF-L/ZIF-8 micro-nanostructures and combining with polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) coatings. This multistage micro-nanostructure significantly enhanced the optical properties of cotton fabric, increasing the solar reflectance from 64.5% to 90.4% and the infrared emissivity from 93.0% to 95.8%. Furthermore, the superhydrophobic fabric demonstrated excellent radiative cooling performance, achieving a cooling effect of 5.3 °C under solar irradiation compared with cotton fabric. In particular, the fabric exhibited superior superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle (WCA) of 162.8°, and maintained the WCA of over 150° under severe conditions such as soaking in acids, alkalis and salts, ultrasonic treatment, washing, tape peeling and abrasion. Most importantly, the fabric offers an efficient self-cleaning property, making it suitable for long-term outdoor radiative cooling. The biomimetic superhydrophobic fabric integrates radiative cooling and self-cleaning functions, providing a promising solution for the development of green, energy-saving and sustainable PRC textiles.

Moisture uptake and the resulting changes in mechanical properties of polymer-based waterproofing membranes were investigated. Pure polymer membrane (PM), polymer–CaCO₃ (PCC), and polymer–white cement (PWC) membranes were prepared using styrene–acrylate (SA), vinyl acetate–ethylene (VAE), and styrene–butadiene (SBR) latexes and exposed to 100% relative humidity for 30 days. All membranes exhibit decreased tensile strength and fracture energy after moisture exposure. Low-field NMR enables quantification of three moisture types in the membranes, including polymer-absorbed water (H₂Owip), interfacial water (H₂Oint), and free water (H₂Of). After moisture treatment, [H₂O]int and [H₂O]f are highly related to latex particle size and emulsifier content, with SBR-based membranes showing the highest values due to the smallest particle size and highest emulsifier content. In PM and PCC membranes, [H₂O]wip is majorly determined by polymer hydrophobicity, following the order SBR > SA > VAE. In PWC membranes, [H₂O]wip is extremely high in VAE-PWC due to polymer saponification. The reduction in fracture energy is primarily governed by [H₂O]wip, because of the plasticizing effect of H₂Owip that weakens intermolecular forces. Consequently, VAE-based membranes undergo the most pronounced fracture energy decline in all systems, while SBR-based membranes exhibit the lowest decrease in PM and PCC membranes, and SA-PWC shows the least degradation in PWC membranes. Secondary cement hydration occurs in both SA-PWC and VAE-PWC during moisture treatment, but is minimal in SBR-PWC. Secondary hydration, high water-absorptivity of hydration products, osmotic pressure, instability of polymer, and hindered latex film formation, are possible causes for higher moisture uptake of PWC.
研究了聚合物基防水膜的吸湿性及其对力学性能的影响。采用苯乙烯-丙烯酸酯（SA）、醋酸乙烯-乙烯（VAE）和丁苯乙烯（SBR）乳胶制备了纯聚合物膜（PM）、聚合物-碳酸钙₃（PCC）和聚合物-白水泥（PWC）膜，并在100%相对湿度下暴露30天。所有膜在受潮后都表现出抗拉强度和断裂能的下降。低场核磁共振可以量化膜中的三种水分类型，包括聚合物吸收水（H₂Owip），界面水（H₂point）和自由水（H₂of）。水分处理后，[H₂O]int和[H₂O]f与乳胶粒径和乳化剂含量密切相关，其中sbr基膜粒径最小，乳化剂含量最高，值最高。在PM和PCC膜中，[H₂O]wip主要由聚合物疏水性决定，顺序为SBR >； SA >； VAE。在PWC膜中，由于聚合物皂化，[H₂O]wip在vee -PWC中的含量极高。断裂能的降低主要受[H₂O]wip的控制，因为H₂Owip的塑化作用减弱了分子间的作用力。因此，在所有体系中，基于vae的膜的破裂能下降最为明显，而基于sbr的膜的PM和PCC膜的下降幅度最小，而SA-PWC膜的破裂能下降幅度最小。在水分处理过程中，SA-PWC和VAE-PWC都发生了二次水泥水化，但SBR-PWC的水化程度最低。二次水化、水化产物的高吸水性、渗透压、聚合物的不稳定性以及阻碍乳胶膜形成是导致普华永道吸湿率较高的可能原因。

In this work, a facile and rapid one-pot strategy combining photopolymerization with phase separation was developed for the preparation of TiO2@polymer hollow microspheres (TiO2@PHMS), designed as multifunctional fillers for high-performance thermal-insulation coatings. By systematically optimizing the efficiency of photo-initiator and tuning the surface hydrophobicity of TiO2 particles, well-defined hollow microspheres with a robust polymer shell embedded with TiO2 were successfully fabricated at ambient temperature within several minutes. The resulting TiO₂@PHMS endowed the composite coating with a superior thermal insulation capability through a dual mechanism: the hollow core provides a thermal barrier, while the embedded TiO₂ offers strong solar reflection. Under optimal conditions, the coating formulated with TiO2@PHMS exhibited a 74% higher solar reflectance and an almost 50% lower thermal conductivity compared to pure resin coating. This synergistic effect of thermal barrier and solar reflection resulted in a maximum temperature difference (ΔT) of 22.4 °C in a simulated insulation test. This study presents an energy-efficient and scalable method for producing advanced fillers for next-generation energy-saving and durable architectural coatings.
