文摘Superhydrophobic coatings have been considerably used in corrosion and its protection of metallic Mg.And the comprehensive performance(hydrophobicity,bonding strength,and corrosion resistance,etc.)of the top coating may be highly dependent on the physical and chemical properties of the primer or under coat.Herein,an integrated superhydrophobic polypropylene(PP)coating was fabricated on the micro-arc oxidized Mg substrate via one-step dipping.Surface morphologies and chemical compositions of the composite coating were examined through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM)together with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).The surface wettability of the coating was determined by contact angle and sliding angle.The corrosion-resistant performance was evaluated via electrochemical and immersion measurements.The results showed that the hybrid coating possessed micron-scaled granular structure on the surface with a high water contact angle of 167.2±0.8°and a low water sliding angle of 2.7±0.5°.The corrosion resistance of superhydrophobic coating was obviously enhanced with a low corrosion current density of 8.76×10^(−9)A/cm^(2),and the coating still maintained integrity after 248 h of immersion in 3.5wt%NaCl aqueous solution.The MAO coating provides better adhesion of PP to the surface.Hence,the superhydrophobic coating exhibited superior bonding strength,corrosion resistance and durability.

文摘Mg has received much attention as a next-generation implantable material owing to its biocompatibility,bone-like mechanical properties,and biodegradability in physiological environments.The application of various polymer coatings has been conducted in the past to reduce the rapid formation of hydrogen gas and the local change in pH during the initial phase of the chemical reaction with the body fluids.Here,we propose femtosecond(fs)laser-mediated Mg surface patterning for significant enhancement of the binding strength of the coating material,which eventually reduces the corrosion rate.Analyses of the structural,physical,crystallographic,and chemical properties of the Mg surface have been conducted in order to understand the mechanism by which the surface adhesion increases between Mg and the polymer coating layer.Depending on the fs laser conditions,the surface structure becomes rough owing to the presence of several microscaled pits and grooves of nanoporous MgO,resulting in a tightly bonded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)layer.The corrosion rate of the PLGA-coated,fs laser-treated Mg is considerably slow compared with the non-treated Mg;the treated Mg is also more biocompatible compared with the non-treated Mg.The fs laser-based surface modification technique offers a simple and quick method for introducing a rough coating on Mg;further,it does not require any chemical treatment,thereby overcoming a potential obstacle for its clinical use.

文摘The main objective was to study the anticorrosion performance of poly（o-toluidine）/nano ZrO2/epoxy composite coating.Poly（o-toluidine）/nano ZrO2 composite was prepared by in situ polymerization of o-toluidine monomer in the presence of nano ZrO2 particles.Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR）,UV-visible spectroscopy（UV-vis）,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,Scanning electron microscopy（SEM）,and Thermogravimetric analysis（TGA） were used to characterize the composition and structure of the composite.Poly（o-toluidine）/nano ZrO2 composite was mixed with epoxy resin through a solution blending method and the three components poly（o-toluidine）/nano ZrO2/epoxy composite coating was coated onto the surface of steel sample by the brush coating method.The anticorrosion performance of poly（o-toluidine）/nano ZrO2/epoxy composite coating on steel sample was studied by polarization curve and electrochemical impendence spectroscopy in 3.5% Na Cl solution as corrosion environment and also compared with that of poly（o-toluidine）/epoxy composite coating and pure epoxy coating.It was observed that the composite coating containing poly（otoluidine）/nano ZrO2 composite has got higher corrosion protection ability than that of poly（o-toluidine）.The electrochemical measurement results demonstrated that poly（o-toluidine） fillers improve the electrochemical anticorrosion performance of epoxy coating and the addition of nano ZrO2 particles increases the tortuosity of the diffusion pathway of corrosive substances.

文摘High-temperature ablation is a common failure phenomenon that limits the service life of the transmission parts on heavy-duty machines used in heavy load,high temperature,high shock conditions due to in-sufficient supply of lubricating oil and grease.Traditional self-lubricating coatings prepared by inorganic,organic or organic-inorganic hybrid methods are prone to be oxidated at high temperatures to lose their friction reducing function,so that it is difficult to meet the engineering requirements of high-temperature lubrication.We design viscoelastic polymer coatings by a high-temperature self-lubricating and wear-resistant strategy.Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE,T_(m)=329℃)and polyphenylene sulfide(PPS,T_(g)=84℃,T_(m)=283℃)are used to prepare a PTFE/PPS polymer alloy coating.As the temperature increases from 25 to 300℃,the PTFE/PPS coating softens from glass state to viscoelastic state and viscous flow state,which is owing to the thermodynamic transformation characteristic of the PPS component.Additionally the friction coefficient(μ)decreased from 0.096 to 0.042 with the increasing of temperature from 25 to 300℃.The mechanism of mechanical deformation and surface morphology evolution for the PTFE/PPS coating under the multi-field coupling action of temperature(T),temperature–centrifugal force(T–F_(ω)),temperature–centrifugal force–shearing force(T–F_(ω)–F_(τ))were investigated.The physical model of“thermoviscoelasticity driven solid–liquid interface reducing friction”is proposed to clarify the self-lubricating mechanism determined by the high-temperature viscoelastic properties of polymers.The high-temperature adjusts the viscosity(η)of the coating,increases interface slipping and intensifies shear deformation(τ),reducing the friction coefficient.The result is expected to provide a new idea for designing anti-ablation coatings served in high temperature friction and wear conditions.

文摘This study reports on the tribological performance of aromatic thermosetting co-polyester(ATSP)and polyether ether ketone(PEEK)-based polymer composite coatings mixed with PTFE filler.The coatings were tested across a wide temperature range from−180 to 110℃ to simulate the environmental temperatures on Titan,Moon,and Mars,which are of particular interest for NASA’s future exploratory missions.An experimental setup was developed to conduct the pin-on-disk experiments under dry sliding conditions and extreme temperature and contact pressure.Transfer film formation and its characteristics were found to play significant roles in the tribological performance,and the characteristics of the film were temperature-dependent.The XPS and SEM analysis indicated the increase of the PTFE content in the transfer film as the temperature decreased to cryogenic conditions.The coefficient of friction did not follow a linear trend with temperature and was minimum at 110℃ and maximum at−180℃.ATSP coating showed superior performance with lower friction and unmeasurable wear at all temperatures,whereas PEEK coating exhibited maximum wear at 25℃ followed by−180,and 110℃.

文摘To improve the soil and water stability of expansive soil slopes and reduce the probability of slope failure,novel protection systems based on polymer waterproof coatings(PWC)were used in this study.Herein,three groups of expansive soil slope model tests were designed to investigate the effects of polyester nonwovens and PWC(P-PWC)composite protection system,three-dimensional vegetation network and PWC(T-PWC)composite protection system,and nonprotection on the soil and water behavior in the slopes under precipitation–evaporation cycles.The results showed that the moisture change of P-PWC and T-PWC composite protected slopes was significantly smaller than that of bare slope,which reduced the sensitivity of slope moisture to environmental changes and improved its stability.The soil temperature of the slope protected by the P-PWC and T-PWC systems at a depth of 70 cm increased by 5.6℃ and 2.7℃,respectively.Using PWC composite protection systems exhibited better thermal storage performance,which could increase the utilization of shallow geothermal resources.Moreover,the maximum average crack widths of the bare slopes were 7.89 and 3.17 times those of the P-PWC and TPWC protected slopes,respectively,and the maximum average crack depths were 6.87 and 3 times those of the P-PWC and T-PWC protected slopes,separately.The PPWC protection system weakened the influence of hydro–thermal coupling on the slopes,inhibited the development of cracks on the slopes,and reduced the soil erosion.The maximum soil erosion of slopes protected by P-PWC and T-PWC systems was 332 and 164 times lower than that of bare slope,respectively.The P-PWC and T-PWC protection systems achieved excellent"anti-seepage and moisture retention"and anti-erosion effects,thus improving the soil and water stability of slopes.These findings can provide important guiding reference for controlling rainwater infiltration and soil erosion in expansive soil slope projects.

文摘Numerous tribological applications,wherein the use of liquid lubricants is infeasible,require adequate dry lubrication.Despite the use of polymers as an effective solution for dry sliding tribological applications,their poor wear resistance prevents the utilization in harsh industrial environment.Different methods are typically implemented to tackle the poor wear performance of polymers,however sacrificing some of their mechanical/tribological properties.Herein,we discussed the introduction of a novel additive,namely microencapsulated phase change material(MPCM)into an advanced polymeric coating.Specifically,paraffin was encapsulated into melamine-based resin,and the capsules were dispersed in an aromatic thermosetting co-polyester(ATSP)coating.We found that the MPCM-filled composite exhibited a unique tribological behavior,manifested as“zero wear”,and a super-low coefficient of friction(COF)of 0.05.The developed composite outperformed the state-of-the-art polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE)-filled coatings,under the experimental conditions examined herein.

文摘Self-lubricating polymer composite coatings,with tailorable tribological and mechanical properties,have been widely employed on mechanical parts to reduce friction and wear,which saves energy and improves the overall performance for applications such as aerospace satellite parts,shafts,gears,and bushings.The addition of functional fillers can overcome the limitations of single-polymer coatings and extend the service life of the coatings by providing a combination of low friction,high wear resistance,high load bearing,high temperature resistance,and high adhesion.This paper compares the heat resistance,and the tribological and mechanical properties of common polymer matrices,as well as the categories of functional fillers that improve the coating performance.Applicable scopes,process parameters,advantages,and limitations of the preparation methods of polymer coatings are discussed in detail.The tribological properties of the composite coatings with different matrices and fillers are compared,and the lubrication mechanisms are analyzed.Fillers reduce friction by promoting the formation of transfer films or liquid shear films.Improvement of the mechanical properties of the composite coatings with fillers of different morphologies is described in terms of strengthening and toughening mechanisms,including a stress transfer mechanism,shear yielding,crack bridging,and interfacial debonding.The test and enhancement methods for the adhesion properties between the coating and substrate are discussed.The coating adhesion can be enhanced through mechanical treatment,chemical treatment,and energy treatment of the substrate.Finally,we propose the design strategies for high-performance polymer composite coating systems adapted to specific operating conditions,and the limitations of current polymer composite coating research are identified.
