Abstract

In this paper, a novel multifunctional superamphiphobic coating for anticorrosion was successfully prepared on aluminum substrate via a simple spraying technique. Al2O3 nanoparticles were chemically grafted onto montmorillonite (MMT) nanosheets via coupling effect of NH2-C3H6-Si(OC2H5)3 (KH-550) and then modified by low surface energy material polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) composite coating with 25 wt% MMT/Al2O3-PDMS binary nanocomposite exhibited well-designed nano/μ structures and possessed superamphiphobicity with high contact angles towards water (164°), glycerol (158°) and ethylene glycol (155°). This coating demonstrated outstanding self-cleaning ability and strong adhesive ability (Grade 1 according to the GB/T 9286). The superhydrophobicity could be maintained after 8000 times abrasion or annealing treatment for 2 h under 350 °C. The coating still retained high water-repellence after immersion in 1 mol/L HCl (146°), 1 mol/L NaOH (144°) and 3.5 wt% NaCl (151°) solutions for 30 d. It should be noted that this superamphiphobic coating revealed excellent long-term corrosion protection with extremely low corrosion rate (4.3 × 10−3 μm/year) and high protection performance (99.999%) after 30 d immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions based on electrochemical corrosion measurements. It is believed that such integrated functional coating could pave new way for self-cleaning and anticorrosion applications under corrosive/abrasive environment.
