Abstract
ABSTRACT This study addresses the issue of structural defects that often occur during the curing process of epoxy resin‐based anti‐corrosion coatings, which can compromise their barrier properties. A dual modification strategy of “resin matrix functionalization + filler interface engineering” is proposed. By synthesizing fluorinated acrylic resin and blending it with epoxy resin, the matrix is endowed with intrinsic hydrophobicity. Simultaneously, the surface of basalt flakes is graft‐modified using KH550 silane coupling agent and stearoyl chloride to construct a stable superhydrophobic interface. This synergistic system combines the physical shielding effect of basalt flakes with the low surface energy characteristics of fluorocarbon chains, forming a multi‐scale barrier structure. Through systematic characterization using SEM, FTIR, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, salt spray testing, contact angle measurements, and bacterial adhesion experiments, significant improvements in the coating's corrosion resistance, superhydrophobicity, and anti‐fouling properties are validated.
期刊介绍:
For more than 30 years, Polymer Engineering & Science has been one of the most highly regarded journals in the field, serving as a forum for authors of treatises on the cutting edge of polymer science and technology. The importance of PE&S is underscored by the frequent rate at which its articles are cited, especially by other publications - literally thousand of times a year. Engineers, researchers, technicians, and academicians worldwide are looking to PE&S for the valuable information they need. There are special issues compiled by distinguished guest editors. These contain proceedings of symposia on such diverse topics as polyblends, mechanics of plastics and polymer welding.
