This inherent hydrophilicity adversely affects key performance attributes such as antifouling and corrosion resistance in the cured films. To address these limitations, an organosilicone-modified acrylic latex was successfully synthesized via in-situ emulsion polymerization. A key innovation of this work involves the development of a effective strategy to overcome interfacial compatibility issues between polymer phases with significantly different polarities. This was achieved through the establishment of chemical bonds between the organosilicone and acrylic resins, allowing their encapsulation by surfactant micelles and enabling homogeneous dispersion within the aqueous phase. Structural and morphological analyses including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering for particle size and zeta potential measurements, and transmission electron microscopy—confirmed that the hybrid latex particles adopted a core–shell-like architecture encapsulated by surfactant micelles, thereby promoting colloidal stability in water. During film formation, water evaporation induced capillary forces that drove particle approximation, deformation, and coalescence, ultimately leading to emulsion destabilization. The hybrid latex exhibited self-stratification behavior attributable to differences in polarity and density between the constituent polymers, as evidenced by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). This resulted in the migration of organosilicone components toward the coating–air interface, imparting the final films with enhanced heat resistance, antifouling characteristics, surface hydrophobicity, and improved corrosion resistance.These findings underscore the effectiveness of the in-situ modification approach in improving the functional properties of waterborne acrylic coatings via controlled phase separation and surface enrichment with organosilicone constituents.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":619,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coatings Technology and Research","volume":"23 4","pages":"1947 - 1959"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148519385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a closed-loop formulation–microstructure–performance strategy was implemented to develop an epoxy coating for nuclear applications, with emphasis on a biomass-derived phenalkamine curing agent (107). Cure behavior of three epoxy/amine systems (2029-4, 2259, 107) was quantified by FTIR peak integration of the oxirane band at 910–917 cm<sup>−1</sup> together with DSC and DMA. The epoxy-107 system exhibited the deepest cure and the highest network density, achieving a glass transition temperature of 85.5 °C and a crosslink density of approximately 1.4 × 10<sup>−3</sup> mol/cm<sup>3</sup> at an optimal epoxy:amine equivalent ratio of 1:0.82, surpassing the conventional aliphatic and cycloaliphatic amines. High-throughput screening of defoamers, dispersants, leveling agents, and filler combinations, followed by SEM and X-ray microcomputed tomography, yielded an additive package that reduced coating porosity to about 0.15% and ensured uniform pigment/filler dispersion. Under simulated DBA conditions and 0.1 M HNO<sub>3</sub> immersion, the optimized epoxy-107 coating maintained film integrity with only slight surface wrinkling, lower water uptake, and higher adhesion retention than the 2259-cured counterpart. The superior durability is attributed to the hybrid molecular architecture of phenalkamine 107, in which aromatic segments provide thermal rigidity while long aliphatic chains confer hydrophobicity and stress relaxation. The results demonstrate that bio-based phenalkamines can deliver nuclear-grade performance and provide a transferable framework for designing sustainable epoxy coatings for extreme service environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":619,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Coatings Technology and Research","volume":"23 5","pages":"2467 - 2485"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148837622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
