Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-based water repellents have dominated the market for a long time due to their excellent water-repellent performance. However, they pose risks of environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, leading to their regulation by many countries. This paper reviews the water-repellent mechanism of textiles, the development history of water-repellent finishing agents, and the research progress of fluorine-free water-repellent finishing agents. The water-repellent mechanism is based on the surface contact angle, and water repellency is achieved through special fibers or finishing agents. The development of finishing agents has gone through three stages: the preliminary development of water-repellent agents, the rapid development of fluorine-containing water-repellent agents, and the development of fluorine-free agents. Fluorine-free water repellents replace fluorocarbon chains with long-chain alkyl groups, and mainly fall into four categories (polyacrylate-based, organosilicon-based, polyurethane-based, and dendritic polymer-based) and others. In addition, cutting-edge water-repellent technologies such as nanotechnology and plasma technology are introduced. In the future, the research focus and development direction of water-repellent should be placed on bionic structures, bio-based materials, and multi-functional integration to promote the high-performance and green development of textile.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20834,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Organic Coatings","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 109948"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145927793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, bisphenols, widely used in the polymer industry, are under scrutiny due to their endocrine-disrupting effects and are being progressively banned, particularly in food-contact applications such as coatings. Lignin, a renewable and bio-aromatic alternative, has garnered industrial interest as a potential substitute. However, variability in its quality and sourcing continues to limit its widespread adoption in material applications. In this study, a series of epoxy resin formulations were developed using glycidylated depolymerized lignin (GDL) with different characteristics, alongside increasing levels of bio-based content through the substitution of fossil-based epoxy with bio-based alternatives. The resulting crosslinked networks were thoroughly characterized, and their structure-property relationships were investigated through thermomechanical performance analysis. Here, we establish fully lignin-based epoxy systems and demonstrate their coating performance on metal substrates through standardized industrial evaluation methods. Coating effectiveness on metal substrates was evaluated based on appearance, adhesion, peel and impact resistance. Overall, this work demonstrates that lignin can play a key role in the transition to bio-based coatings. However, the success of this transition relies on both the consistency of the lignin source and the design of the formulation. These findings represent a significant step toward the development of high-performance, sustainable, versatile, bio-based but viable and scalable coating materials.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20834,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Organic Coatings","volume":"213 ","pages":"Article 109931"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145927807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report a stress-transforming polymer that actively converts mechanical energy into network adaptation rather than passively withstanding it. This material combines a robust epoxy backbone with a dynamic network of side-chain-anchored diselenide mechanophores and a complementary hydrogen-bonding network. The diselenide motifs, grafted via hexamethylene diisocyanate, act as force-activated sacrificial linkages that undergo homolytic scission and radical exchange under stress, enabling topological remodeling of the network. Spectroscopic analyses (FT-IR, ¹H NMR, XPS) confirmed the successful synthesis. Upon mechanical activation (3 MPa pre-compression, 5 min), the polymer exhibits remarkable autonomous self-strengthening, with tensile strength and toughness increased by approximately 308% and 194%, respectively. Cyclic tensile and DMA analyses revealed stress-induced reinforcement and pronounced energy dissipation. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy directly detected selenium-centered radicals post-compression, while in situ FT-IR captured reversible bonding events, providing combined evidence for the force-triggered Se<img>Se recombination and sacrificial hydrogen bonding. In simulated deep-sea conditions (6 MPa + 3 m/s, 3.5 wt% NaCl), the optimal coating formulation (STP₅–EP) demonstrated superior anti-corrosion performance, maintaining exceptional barrier integrity with high charge-transfer resistance (2.3 × 10¹⁰ Ω·cm²) and a crack-free morphology after 240 h.

Conventionally, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) achieve ultralow ice adhesion, but the durability is undermined by lubricant depletion under complex environmental conditions. In this study, we propose a phase-change-driven solid-state lubricating icephobic surfaces (PLIPS), which achieves nearly zero ice adhesion through interfacial physical isolation, and the performance can be fully regenerated through lubricant replenishment and in-situ absorption. The coating consists of a gel network formed by blending epoxy resin, polydimethylsiloxane, and alkanes, where the alkanes crystallize and migrate toward the surface driven by low temperature, forming a porous solid lubricating layer at the ice-coating interface, which serves as a thermal barrier and physically separates the ice from the substrate. Through systematic investigation of lubricant migration, phase transition, and replenishment behavior, the PLIPS achieved nearly zero ice adhesion strength and a 137% longer droplet freezing delay (1018 s at −20 °C) compared with the PDMS-only control. After 30 icing–deicing cycles, ice adhesion remained extremely low (&lt; 35 kPa), and the initial performance could be fully restored through simple thermal immersion for lubricant replenishment.

Developing multifunctional materials for zero-energy cooling and effective EMI shielding is therefore crucial. Herein, based on high-speed shear and ultrasonic dispersion, a stretchable Janus coating film was fabricated via a scalable method combining solvent evaporation and humidity-assisted phase separation. The film integrates passive radiative cooling, electromagnetic interference shielding, Joule heating, self-cleaning, and flame retardancy in a single system. The radiative cooling layer, comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix with BaSO₄ micro-nanoparticles and SiO₂-HA fillers, forms a multiscale porous structure that leverages Mie scattering, multiple reflection, and phonon-polariton resonance to achieve high solar reflectance (90.46%) and emissivity (95.71%). It also exhibits superhydrophobicity (CA &gt; 150°) and low thermal conductivity. The EMI layer, constructed with a graphene-based dense-porous gradient, resolves the recalcitrant problem of combining high shielding efficiency and excellent mechanical properties with graphene as filler material. It employs an absorption-reflection-absorption mechanism that yields an average shielding effectiveness of 36.07 dB (X-band) and fast electrothermal heating to 93.3 °C at 7 V. A halogen-free phosphorus additive provides self-extinguishing flame retardancy, and the film maintains excellent flexibility (strain 243%). Outdoor tests show an average daytime sub-ambient cooling of 5.5 °C and a theoretical cooling power of 84.27 W/m².
