Abstract:
The gradual permeation of corrosive mediums, external mechanical damage, and ultraviolet (UV) radiationinduced 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 degrees. 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 x 1010 Omega 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.
