Abstract
This study investigates the interlayer bonding mechanism between epoxy primers and polyurethane topcoats commonly used in marine coatings. Previous studies have focused on the physical bonding between the coatings, but this study focused on the theory of chemical bonding. Using E-44 and HP2000 as primers and MDI toluene solution to simulate a polyurethane topcoat, the changes in the molecular structure at the interface between the epoxy primer and the polyurethane topcoat after curing were revealed by sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFG) technique. The experiments showed that the hydroxyl (-OH) signals on the surface of the epoxy primer disappeared after contacting with the MDI solution, and the isocyanate (-NCO) and carbonyl (C=O) signals on the urethane topcoat were revealed, suggesting that a chemical reaction occurred between them. The results of SFG analysis were further supported by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that chemical bonding had a positive effect on the macroscopic properties of the coatings, indicating that the interlayer bonding between the primer and the topcoat could be significantly enhanced by chemical bonding, which provides new theoretical support for the interlayer bonding of the coating support system for marine environment.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
