Abstract
Epoxy coatings with both self-cleaning and radiation protection functions have important application prospects in the nuclear industry. However, combining these two functions poses a significant challenge. To address this challenge, epoxy resin (EP) was modified with hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the matrix. Additionally, 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane hydrophobically modified micrometer-sized bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) was used as a functional filler. By adjusting the roughness with a small amount of hydrophobic silica (SiO2), a superhydrophobic self-cleaning coating with γ radiation shielding capabilities was successfully developed. The resulting coating demonstrated exceptional self-cleaning properties, mechanical stability, and remarkable γ-ray shielding in tests.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
