Abstract:
The gradual permeation of corrosive mediums, external mechanical damage, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced aging are critical factors contributing to the rapid deterioration of the anticorrosive functionality of polymer coatings. In this study, a two-dimensional anticorrosive enhancement material, fluorinated graphene loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles (FG@ZnO), was synthesized via the heterogeneous nucleation growth method. This material was then embedded into a polyurethane coating to modify the coating matrix, and a biomimetic lotus leaf-like fine micro-nanostructure was fabricated on the coating surface employing a templating approach. Through this internal-external dual modification strategy, an FG@ZnO/SPU composite coating with multiple protective functions was constructed to offer enduring corrosion protection to the steel substrate. Experimental findings reveal that the composite coating exhibits excellent superhydrophobicity, with a water contact angle as high as 152°. Even after immersion in a 3.5 % NaCl solution for 80 days, the composite coating maintains an exceptionally high low-frequency impedance modulus of 1.332 × 1010 Ω cm2, demonstrating exceptional long-term anticorrosive performance. In instances of coating damage, FG@ZnO markedly relieves the corrosion reaction between the corrosive medium and the steel substrate while suppressing galvanic corrosion. Furthermore, the composite coating demonstrates effective resistance against UV radiation-induced aging effects. These exceptional multiple protective properties are attributed to the internal-external dual modification effect of embedded FG@ZnO and biomimetic lotus leaf hydrophobic modification. This study provides an attractive strategy for preparing polymer composite coatings with multiple protective functions for enduring corrosion protection of metals. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
