Abstract:
Durable superhydrophobic coating was fabricated on paper substrate by solution-spraying method using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silicon dioxide nanospheres (SiO2) doped poly(fluoreneyl ether ketone) (PFEK). The effects of PDMS dosage and SiO2 dosage on the water contact angle of paper were investigated. The results showed that when both PDMS and SiO2 dosage were 2% (based on the mass of PFEK and N-methylpyrrolidone, the same below), the water contact angle of the coating was 170° and the sliding angle was 1°. The polymer anchored SiO2 on the surface of paper fiber, resulting in micro-nano rough structure on the surface. The superhydrophobicity was caused by the inhibition of droplet infiltration by the air accumulated under the hydrophobic rough surface. The prepared PFEK/PDMS/SiO2 coated paper exhibited excellent superhydrophobicity and mechanical stability with water contact angles of above 150° after 40 cycles of wearing tests and after 12 times of folding tests. Stretch tests revealed that the PFEK/PDMS/SiO2 coating enhanced the tensile strength of ordinary paper from 10.1 MPa to 37.8 MPa. Moreover, after soaking in water for 15 min, the tensile strength of PFEK/PDMS/SiO2 coated paper was 25 MPa and still had better mechanical properties. In addition, the PFEK/PDMS/SiO2 could resist contamination from sticky mud, indicating that it had good self-cleaning performance. © 2021, Editorial Office of FINE CHEMICALS. All right reserved.
