具有自相似多孔结构的PDMS基超疏水复合涂层制备及其疏水结构调控

Fabrication and hydrophobic structure control of PDMS-based superhydrophobic composite coatings with self-similar porous structures

  • 摘要: 超疏水涂层特有的强疏水性和防水性使其在金属防腐、建筑防护、环境净化等领域被广泛应用。而材料表面稳定的粗糙结构是维持涂层超疏水性能的关键。本研究采用油包水乳液模板法,制备了多孔PDMS基超疏水涂层。测试结果表明,合理的水油比、乳化剂(TX100与Brij S20)和聚乙烯(PE)掺量可构建孔径相对均一且稳定的多孔结构涂层。而氟化SiO2纳米颗粒(F-SiO2)可以进一步构建微/纳分级粗糙表面,使涂层表现出优异的超疏水性。水相、Brij S20乳化剂、PE及F-SiO2与PDMS主剂的质量比分别为12∶10,0.75∶10,2∶10,1∶10的PDMS基超疏水涂层具有最强的疏水性。其水滴接触角(CA)>160°、滚动角(RA)<2.5°,且该体系孔壁面积占比超过66%。同时,该涂层具有良好的机械强度和耐磨性能,经320目砂纸打磨后仍保持优异的超疏水性能(CA>160°、RA<3°)。本研究系统揭示了基于PDMS乳液模板的孔结构与界面粗糙度协同调控机制,为PDMS多孔结构调控及高稳定性PDMS基超疏水涂层的设计提供了新策略。

     

    Abstract: The strong hydrophobicity and water repellency of superhydrophobic coatings enable their wide application in metal corrosion protection, building protection, and environmental remediation. A stable rough surface structure is essential for maintaining their superhydrophobic performance. In this study, a water-in-oil emulsion templating method was used to fabricate porous PDMS-based superhydrophobic coatings. The results indicate that the appropriate regulation of the water-to-oil ratio, emulsifier system (TX-100 and Brij S20), and polyethylene (PE) content enables the formation of a porous coating with relatively uniform pore size distribution and structural stability. The introduction of fluorinated silica (F-SiO2) nanoparticles further constructs a micro-/nano-hierarchical rough surface, resulting in excellent superhydrophobicity. The strongest hydrophobicity is obtained when the ratios of the aqueous phase, Brij S20, PE, and F-SiO2 to PDMS are 12∶10, 0.75∶10, 2∶10, and 1∶10, respectively. Its water contact angle (CA) exceeds 160° and rolling angle (RA) is below 2.5°, while the pore wall area fraction of this system is over 66%. Moreover, the coating possesses good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, maintaining excellent superhydrophobicity (CA > 160°, RA < 3°) even after abrasion with 320-mesh sandpaper. This study systematically reveals the synergistic regulation mechanism between pore structure and interfacial roughness based on the PDMS emulsion template, providing a new strategy for the controlled fabrication of PDMS porous structures and the design of highly stable PDMS-based superhydrophobic coatings.
