Developing single-atom catalyst-based epoxy coating with active nanocatalytic anticorrosion performance in oxygen environment

The stimuli-responsive anticorrosion coatings have drawn great attention as a prospective corrosion protection approach due to their smart self-repairing properties.In contrast to passive protection mechanism based on post-corrosion microenvironmental changes,a unique active protection strategy based on nanocatalytic oxygen depletion is proposed in this work to inhibit the occurrence of corrosion.Porous FeeNeC catalysts with outstanding oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity(half-wave potential of 0.89 V)is firstly synthesized through pre-coordination with organosilane precursor to obtain homogeneously distributed active sites.When this catalyst is introduced into the coating matrix,uniformly distributed FeeNeC not only compensates the defects but plays a crucial role in adsorption and consumption of diffused oxygen in the coating.Under this dual action,the penetration of corrosive medium,especially oxygen,through coating to metal substrate is greatly suppressed,resulting in effective corrosion inhibition and a significant increase in corrosion resistance of the composite coating compared to pure epoxy coating.This work provides a new perspective and the starting point for the design of high-performance smart coating with active anticorrosion properties.

To improve the bioactivity and corrosion resistance of AZ91 D magnesium alloy,hydroxyapatite（HAp） coatings with novel microstructured morphologies were prepared successfully on AZ91 D substrates via a facile hydrothermal method.Different chelating agents including polyaspartic acid（PASP） and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid（EDTA） were introduced to investigate their effects on the morphology and corrosion resistance of the coated magnesium alloys.The results revealed that the coating prepared with PASP was composed of many uniform urchin-like microspheres,while the coating prepared with EDTA consisted of many flower-like particles.Moreover,the crystallinity of the coating prepared with EDTA was much higher than that of the coating prepared with PASP.Electrochemical tests revealed that the corrosion resistance of the substrate was significantly improved after being coated with each coating.Immersion test of the coated samples in simulated body fluid（SBF） demonstrated that the coatings could be biodegraded gradually and induce the formation of calcium phosphate particles.

New Nano Polymer Materials for Composite Exterior-Wall Coatings

A triethylenetetramine epoxy mixture was synthesized through the reaction of a low-molecular-weight liquid epoxy resin with triethylenetetramine(TETA).Then triethyltetramine(TETA)was injected dropwise into a pro-pylene glycol methyl ether(PM)solution for chain extension reaction.A hydrophilic andflexible polyether seg-ment was introduced into the hardener molecule.The effects of TETA/DGEPG,reaction temperature and reaction time on the epoxy conversion of polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether(DGEPG)were studied.In addition,several alternate strategies to add epoxy resin to the high-speed dispersion machine and synthesize MEA DGEBA adduct(without catalyst and with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether epoxy resin)were compared.It was found that the higher the molecular weight of triethylenetetramine,the longer the chain segment of the surface active molecule.When the equivalence ratio of amine hydrogen and epoxy group is low,the stability of lotion is good.When the ratio of amine hydrogen to epoxy group is large,the content of triethylenetetramine is small.The main objective of this study is the provision of new data and knowledge for the development of new materials in the coating and electronic industry.

YKZYJ was ranked the first in terms of the efficiency in cold tolerance among the four cold tolerant seed-coating agents tested.

PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF THERMOSETTING ACRYLIC COATINGS USING TITANIUM-OXO-CLUSTER AS A CURING AGENT

Thermosetting acrylic coatings were prepared by using carboxyl acid group-containing acrylic oligomer and curing with titanium-oxo-clusters which were first pre-hydrolyzed from titanium n-butoxide.The curing ability of the titanium-oxo-cluster was examined using a microdielectric analytical(DEA)curing monitor,Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),and Soxhlet extraction experiments,and the properties of the resulted coatings were investigated with pendulum hardness tester,dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA),thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)and ultraviolet-visible spectrometer.The effect of titania-oxo-cluster in leading acrylic oligomers to form thermosetting acrylic coatings was confirmed.An increasing pendulum hardness and modulus of acrylic coatings with increasing titania content was observed, which resulted from the increment of crosslinking degree rather than of the titania content.The thermosetting acrylic/titania coatings also showed better thermal stability and higher UV-blocking properties than those coatings using organic curing agent.

Structure, properties and application to water-soluble coatings of complex antimicrobial agent Ag-carboxymethyl chitosan-thiabendazole

The structure, properties and application to water-soluble coatings of a new complex antimicrobial agent Ag-carboxylmethyl citosan-thiabendazole （Ag-CMCTS-TBZ） prepared from different materiel ratios were reported. The silver ions were preferably coordinated with the free -NH2 groups and the -OH groups of secondary alcohol and carboxyl in CMCTS. TBZ preferably bonded to carboxyl group in CMCTS by electrostatic force and hydrogen bonding. Increase in silver ions content in the complex agent improved to some limited extent the antibacterial activity, but enhanced coloring and cost of the complex agent. Increase in TBZ content resulted in increase of antifungal activity, but decrease of water solubility of the complex agent. The antimicrobial MICs of the complex agent to Esherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Mucor sp. were 2080, 1560, 2055, 40250, and 4001700mg/kg, respectively. Addition of 0.1% of this complex agent to acrylic emulsion paint made the paint without substantial change in color, luster, viscosity, odor or pH value, but with an excellent and chronically persisting broad-spectra antimicrobial activity.

Activity test and mechanism study of an environmentally friendly wheat seed coating agent

This novel environmentally friendly wheat seed coating agent which has been made with natural polymer as the primary material could increase yield by about 9% compared with the conventionally virulent wheat seed coating agent.
