Abstract
Electrospraying is an attractive technique for fabricating multifunctional superhydrophobic coatings; however, limited durability impedes their practical use. To overcome this limitation, we propose coupling substrate heating with silane coupling agent (KH550) modification in poly(vinylidene fluoride)/carbon black (PVDF/CB) slurry. Results demonstrate that the coatings fabricated from PVDF/150 wt% CB slurry containing 1 wt% KH550 and deposited at 100 °C (Sample-DM) exhibit optimal superhydrophobicity, mechanical/chemical durability, self-cleaning capability, and oil/water separation efficacy compared to the counterparts employing either strategy individually. This enhancement arises from synergistic mechanisms: (1) KH550 hydrolysis establishes covalent bonding with CB nanoparticles, PVDF chains, and the substrate; (2) in situ substrate heating concurrently optimizes hierarchical topography while strengthening interparticle cohesion and coating-substrate adhesion. This dual-functional approach provides a robust methodology for fabricating high-durability electrosprayed superhydrophobic surfaces, advancing their technological deployment.
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.
