Abstract
Epoxy resin coatings are widely used for corrosion protection of marine aluminum alloy equipment, but they suffer from high water absorption, brittleness, and slow repair, limiting long-term use. To address these issues, we developed an innovative self-healing coating using epoxy resin, nano-silica, a silane coupling agent, furanamine (FA), and bismaleimide (BMI). Our optimally formulated coating exhibited hydrophobicity (97°), high hardness (7 H), strong adhesion (5B), and rapid self-healing within 10 min at 80 °C, a much simpler process than previously reported. Remarkably, the coating maintained excellent self-healing and stable performance after 40 cycles of scratching and heating. Electrochemical tests and equivalent circuit fitting analysis showed superior corrosion resistance before and after scratching and healing, achieving a corrosion protection rate of 99.997%. After 300-day immersion, the coating reduced the corrosion area by 99.84% compared to pure epoxy resin, which had delaminated. This work provides a practical solution for enhancing the durability and anti-corrosion performance of epoxy coatings in marine applications.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Inorganic and Organometallic Polymers and Materials [JIOP or JIOPM] is a comprehensive resource for reports on the latest theoretical and experimental research. This bimonthly journal encompasses a broad range of synthetic and natural substances which contain main group, transition, and inner transition elements. The publication includes fully peer-reviewed original papers and shorter communications, as well as topical review papers that address the synthesis, characterization, evaluation, and phenomena of inorganic and organometallic polymers, materials, and supramolecular systems.
