Abstract
Polyurethane coatings that exhibit excellent mechanical, weathering, and antimicrobial properties are highly valuable for developing new marine antifouling coatings. In this study, poly(oxime-urethane) were synthesized using the bio-based furan chain extender, 2,5-diformylfuran dioxime (DFFD), and a top coating (DPUCx) was then prepared with titanium dioxide (TiO2) fillers and additives. After application to the surface of the epoxy primer, DPUCx exhibited excellent mechanical properties, including crosshatch adhesion of 5B, pull-off adhesion of 3.85 MPa, flexibility of 2 mm, pencil hardness of H, and impact strength of 120 cm·kg. Following 20 consecutive days of salt spray corrosion and xenon lamp accelerated ageing testing, samples with a high DFFD content exhibited no discernible changes in appearance, with a color difference value (ΔE*) of just 0.53, demonstrating superior weathering performance. Furthermore, DPUCx exhibits outstanding intrinsic antimicrobial activity, achieving a 100% inhibition rate against both Escherichia coli (G-) and Staphylococcus aureus (G+). This study provides a feasible design strategy for developing high-performance, sustainable antibacterial protective coatings.
