Hydrophobic Coating

Although super-hydrophobic surfaces have great application prospects in industry, their preparation cost and mechanical durability have limited their practical utilization. In this work, we presented a new low-cost process preparation for super-hydrophobic Co–Ni coating on carbon steel substrate via an electrodeposition route. The deposited Co–Ni coating with cauliflower-shaped micro-nano structures exhibited high super-hydrophobic properties with water contact angles over 161° after modification with 1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorooctyltrichlorosilane (PFTEOS). Evaluated by the linear abrasion methods, the super-hydrophobic coating can maintain super-hydrophobicity after abrasion distance of 12 m under the applied pressure of 5 kPa, which was attributed to the high cobalt content of the Co–Ni coating. Moreover, electrochemical tests showed that the super-hydrophobic Co–Ni coatings exhibited a good anti-corrosion performance thus providing an adequate protection to the carbon steel substrates.

A facile, low cost, and relatively environmental friendly method was presented for the fabrication of superhydrophobic surface on carbon steel substrate. The superhydrophobic surface was obtained by zinc electrodeposition and chemical modification with ethanolic stearic acid. The wettability of the superhydrophobic surface was measured by a water contact angle (WCA) with a highest value of 155.7°. The morphology of the fabricated film was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The chemical composition of the fabricated surface was analysed by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. The corrosion resistance of the carbon steel substrate was measured by potentiodynamic polarization test in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The electrochemical measurements show excellent corrosion resistance, which may have promising applications in anticorrosion of carbon steel.

Abstract This paper aims at investigating the potential of vine shoots (ViSh) upcycling as fillers in novel poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) based biocomposites. ViSh particles of around 50 µm (apparent median diameter) were obtained combining dry grinding processes, and mixed with PHBV using melt extrusion. Thermal stability and elongation at break of biocomposites were reduced with increasing contents of ViSh particles (10, 20 and 30 wt%), while Young’s modulus and water vapor permeability were increased. It was shown that a surface gas-phase esterification allowed to significantly increase the hydrophobicity of ViSh particles (increase of water contact angles from 59° to 114°), leading to a reduction of 27% in the water vapor permeability of the biocomposite filled with 30 wt% of ViSh. The overall mechanical performance was not impacted by gas-phase esterification, demonstrating that the interfacial adhesion between the virgin ViSh particles and the PHBV matrix was already good and that such filler surface treatment was not required in that case. It was concluded that ViSh particles can be interestingly used as low cost fillers in PHBV-based biocomposites to decrease the overall cost of materials.

We investigated the potential of graphite based coatings deposited on titanium V alloy by a low-cost powder based process for bipolar plate application. The coatings which were deposited from a mixture of graphite and alumina powders at ambient temperature, pressure of 90 psi, and speed of 20 mm were characterised and electrochemically polarised in 0.5 M H2SO4 + 2 ppm HF bubbled with air and hydrogen gas to depict the cathode and anode PEM fuel cell environment, respectively. Surface conductivity and water contact angles were also evaluated. Corrosion current in the 1 μA/cm2 range in both cathodic and anodic environment at room temperature and showed negligible influence on the electrochemical behaviour of the bare alloy. Similar performance, which was attributed to the discontinuities in the coatings, was also observed when polarised at 0.6 V and −0.1 V with air and hydrogen bubbling at 70∘C respectively. At 140 N/cm2, the coated alloy exhibited contact resistance of 45.70 mΩ·cm2 which was lower than that of the bare alloy (66.50 mΩ·cm2) but twice that of graphite (21.29 mΩ·cm2). Similarly, the wettability test indicated that the coated layer exhibited higher contact angle of 99.63° than that of the bare alloy (66.32°). Over all, these results indicated need for improvement in the coating process to achieve a continuous layer.

Lubricating Properties

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has wide variety of possible applications in different fields as from the metallurgy to the cosmetic products. This hBN microstructure provided excellent lubricating properties and then had potential to apply on metal surface in order to improve friction and prevented the metal substrate from oxidation. In this study, the several concentrations of hBN were added into epoxy resin and coated on the carbon steel substrate. The results indicated that the optimum concentration of used hBN increased water contact angle and prevented carbon steel substrate from oxidation. This useful knowledge can be further used to support industrial work especially in preventive corrosion/oxidation field.

Abstract Asphaltenes (heptane insolubles) from a variety of crude oils have been identified previously as contributors to inhibition of internal corrosion of mild steel pipelines. However, the mechanism of inhibition is unknown. To explore the mechanism, carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion rates and wettability (oil/water contact angles) have been measured using Arab Heavy crude oil and its asphaltenes. Inhibition of CO2 corrosion rates for carbon steel was measured using electrochemical methods in a glass cell; wettability was assessed using contact angle measurements in a multiphase goniometer. The phase behavior of asphaltenes in corrosion and wetting was evaluated in the crude, toluene (C7H8), or heptol (70:30 mixture of heptane [C7H16] and toluene). Inhibition on steel exposed to a hydrocarbon phase increased with the concentration of asphaltenes in toluene. Inhibition by asphaltenes dissolved in toluene appears to be more effective than in the whole crude, at equivalent concentrations of asphaltenes. At 5 wt% in toluene, asphaltenes form a strong protective layer on the carbon steel surface, which reduces the corrosion rate and makes the surface hydrophobic. When the solubility of the oil is altered to the point where asphaltenes start to flocculate, it enhances the corrosion inhibition greatly. However, the inhibition is not as persistent as for the fully dissolved asphaltenes, and the surface needs to be periodically wetted with the oil phase to maintain the protection.

Superhydrophobic Paper

Papers with nanoscaled surface roughness and hydrophobically modification have been widely used in daily life. However, the relatively complex preparation process, high costs and harmful compounds have largely limited their applications. This research aims to fabricate superhydrophobic papers with low cost and nontoxic materials. The surface of cellulose fibers was initially coated with a film of SiO2 nanoparticles via sol-gel process. After papermaking and subsequent modification with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane through a simple solution-immersion process, the paper showed excellent superhydrophobic properties, with water contact angles (WCA) larger than 150°. Moreover, the prepared paper also showed superior mechanical durability against 10 times of deformation. The whole preparation process was carried out in a mild environment, with no intricate instruments or toxic chemicals, which has the potential of large-scale industrial production and application.

Studies on fabricating robust superhydrophobic surfaces by a low-cost method have been rare, despite the recent demand for nature-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces including self-healing ability in various industrial applications. Herein, we propose a fabrication method for self-healable, robust superhydrophobic nanocomposite films by facile solution-processed spray coating and UV curing. The components of the coating solution include functionalized hydrophobic silica nanoparticles for producing high roughness hierarchical textured structures with low surface energy, and UV-crosslinkable v-POSS and bi-thiol hydrocarbon molecules to improve the film stability. As a result of the synergetic effect of the hydrophobic nanoparticles and UV-crosslinked polymeric compounds, the spray-coated and UV-cured nanocomposite films possess excellent superhydrophobicity (water contact angles > 150º) and high stability, in addition to self-healing abilities.

Hierarchical alveolate structures in nano- to microscale were fabricated on both aluminum and stainless steel substrates via a chemical etching. On aluminum surfaces, sharp edged caves and plateaus were found. On stainless steel substrate, fine papillae stand on protuberances. These surfaces exhibit super-hydrophobic properties after the fluorination treatment, their water contact angles are 158° and 160°, respectively, with the contact angle hysteresis of about 5°. The roll off angle is about 5°. Ice melting behaviors on a plate of aluminum super-hydrophobic surface were compared with those on a hydrophilic one, their difference shows that the new feature of super-hydrophobic surface could be expected.

Most of the electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers are commonly made from polymer-based materials. A large number of polymers are resistant to the environmental degradation and are thus responsible for the buildup of polymeric solid waste materials. These solid wastes cause acute environmental problems and remain undegraded for quite a long time. In a view of the awareness and concern for the problems created by the polymeric solid wastes, new biodegradable cellulosic composite with low cost and nontoxic materials, have been designed and developed. However, the properties of natural fibers that tends to absorb water, thus limiting their application. In this study, precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) was added with stearic acid (SA) in order to generate a hydrophobic coating formulation. PCC works as filler and SA acts as surface hydrophobic modification agent. Polymer latex was then added to the coating compound as the binder. The composite surface morphology was inspected using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results show that durian peel composite sheet had successfully achieved a superhydrophobic surface with a water contact angle of 154.85° which exceed 150°.

Over the last ten years, sulfuric acid dewpoint corrosion has become a more important concern in refinery furnaces since sulfur levels in fuels have increased. Electroless nickel phosphorous coating is one of the most widely used industrial coatings owing to its good corrosion resistance in many highly corrosive environments. In this work, electroless Ni-P-SiO2 composite coatings were prepared on AISI 1020 carbon steel. And the corrosion behaviors of Ni-P-SiO2, Ni-P coatings and carbon steel substrate were evaluated by immersion, electrochemical tests in 5%wt sulfuric acid solution, and dewpoint corrosion tests in simulated furnace flue gas. The experimental results indicated that corrosion resistance properties of Ni-P-SiO2 coating was best, followed by Ni-P coating and carbon steel was worst.
