水性聚氨酯自修复防腐涂层中微胶囊的设计与参数优化

Design and Optimization of Microcapsules for Self-Healing Anti-Corrosion Waterborne Polyurethane Coatings

  • 摘要: 为提升防腐涂层在实际服役过程中的稳定性与自修复能力,本文构建了一种基于桐油/脲醛树脂(UF@TO)微胶囊的水性聚氨酯(WPU)自修复防腐涂层体系(UF@TO/WPU),系统探究了微胶囊粒径与添加量对涂层修复性能的影响机制。微胶囊通过Pickering乳液聚合法合成,具备结构完整、热稳定性好等特点,并通过SEM、FTIR与TGA等手段对其形貌、结构组成及封装特征进行表征。研究表明,粒径为2~6 μm、掺量为10~12wt.%时,微胶囊在涂层中的分散性良好,涂层致密度与修复效果最优。进一步引入积分几何与几何概率理论,构建微胶囊–裂纹相遇概率模型,并结合Python算法实现修复效率的建模预测与参数优化。EIS与力学性能测试结果显示,涂层在盐水浸泡72 h后阻抗值提升近两个数量级,附着力与耐冲击性保持较高稳定性,验证了其良好的响应性与防腐性能。基于微观裂纹诱导微胶囊破裂、桐油释放与成膜封闭的响应机制,本文提出了UF@TO/WPU涂层的自修复防腐作用模型,为水性防腐涂层的结构优化与性能提升提供理论支撑与应用参考。

     

    Abstract: To improve the service stability and self-healing capability of anticorrosive coatings, a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) self-healing coating system incorporating tung oil/urea-formaldehyde (UF@TO) microcapsules was developed and systematically evaluated. The microcapsules were synthesized via Pickering emulsion polymerization and exhibited uniform morphology and excellent thermal stability. Their structural and encapsulation characteristics were characterized using SEM, FTIR, and TGA. The results revealed that microcapsules with particle sizes of 2–6 μm and loadings of 10–12wt.% achieved optimal dispersion and healing performance within the coating matrix. Based on integral geometry and geometric probability theory, a capsule–crack encounter probability model was constructed, and a Python-based algorithm was developed to enable automated modeling and multi-parameter optimization of healing efficiency. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and mechanical testing confirmed that, after 72 hours of immersion in saline solution, the impedance modulus increased by nearly two orders of magnitude, while the coating retained high adhesion and impact resistance—demonstrating excellent healing responsiveness and anticorrosion performance. A self-healing mechanism was proposed involving crack initiation, capsule rupture, tung oil release, and subsequent film formation at the damaged site. This study provides theoretical insight and practical reference for the structural design and performance optimization of waterborne self-healing anticorrosive coatings.
