Abstract
Bu@PGMAm/GO microcapsules (MCs) with compact multi-shell structure, the metal-organic framework [Zn(MIBA)2]n, and high-strength, high-adhesion polyurethane-fluorinated polysiloxane (PU-FPDMS) are successfully synthesized. By alternately spin-coating PU-FPDMS/MCs mixture and PU-FPDMS/ [Zn(MIBA)2]n mixture in sequence, a PU-FPDMS/MCs/[Zn(MIBA)2]n marine anti-fouling coating with coral-like morphology is fabricated. Herein, the reactive oxygen species generated via the photocatalytic reaction of [Zn(MIBA)2]n exhibit inhibitory effects on biological organisms. The static contact angle and sliding angle of the PU-FPDMS/MCs/[Zn(MIBA)2]n coating are 157.8° and 5.1°, respectively. After being immersed in fluorescently-labeled bovine serum albumin solution for 24 h, the coating remains free of protein coverage. The coating exhibits a 100% antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After being immersed in algal suspensions for 30 days, the coating exhibits the lowest adhesion of Chlorella and Nitzschia closterium, with coverage percentages of 4.7% and 4.0%, respectively. After 5 months of marine field test, the coating still remains free of any marine fouling coverage. The coating achieves broad-spectrum and long-lasting anti-fouling performance through the synergistic effects of the robust low-surface-energy PU-FPDMS matrix, steady-state release of Bu, photocatalysis of [Zn(MIBA)2]n, and the bionic surface. The PU-FPDMS/MCs/[Zn(MIBA)2]n coating is anticipated to find extensive applications in anti-fouling, anti-icing, drag reduction, self-cleaning, and antibacterial domains due to its unique properties.
