IPN Polysiloxane-Epoxy Resin for High Temperature Coatings: Structure Effects on Layer Performance after 450 °C Treatment

Abstract

Abstract:Coatings for high temperatures (HT > 400 • C) are obtained from interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) binders formed by simultaneous polymerization of silicone and epoxide pre-polymers. A ceramic layer; mainly composed of silica and fillers; remains on the metal surface after a thermal treatment at 450 • C. The layer adhesion and the inorganic filler's distribution have been investigated by, firstly, exchanging the organic substituents (methyl and phenyl) of the silicone chains and, secondly, by adding conductive graphene nanoplatelets with the aim to assure a uniform distribution of heat during the thermal treatment. The results are evidence that different substituent ratios affect the polymer initial layout. The adhesion tests of paint formulations are analysed and were related to instrumental analyses performed using glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES); thermal analyses (TG/DTA and DSC); electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDX). A greater resistance to powdering using phenyl groups instead of methyl ones; and an improved distribution of fillers due to graphene nanoplatelet addition; is evidenced.

Conductive Network Enhanced Carbon Black/Epoxy Composite Coating with Imide Curing for Antistatic and Heat-Resistance Improvement

“…However, due to the poor heat resistance of its cured products, this limits the application of epoxy resins in high-speed aircrafts, such as aerospace and chemical industry, because the material will generate friction heat by friction with air when working, and excessive accumulation of this heat will cause thermal decomposition of the material [13,14]. For example, the epoxy adhesive used for the friction plate of the vehicle clutch must resist the high temperature of 250-350 °C, and the epoxy used for some parts of the rocket engine must resist the high temperature of 200 °C [15,16].…”

Advances in Anti-Corrosion Polymeric and Paint Coatings on Metals: Preparation, Adhesion, Characterization and Application

“…So, organic coatings are the major protective measure accounting for up to 90% of expenditure on corrosion protection [19]. The global anticorrosion coating market was estimated to be $24.84 billion in 2017, having a cost growth rate over 5 years of a pproximately 5%/year [21].…”

“…Moreover, the painting was used not only for decorative, but also for protective purposes. The first painted objects come from China [21]. Furniture and utensils were covered with a layer of paint in an artistic design.…”

Efficient Removal of Volatile Organic Compounds by FAU-Type Zeolite Coatings

“…They consist of a framework Si-O-Si where organic groups are bonded to the silicon atom [ 2 ]. Due to their high thermal stability in comparison with common organic polymers made with carbon-carbon bonds [ 3 ], silicone resins are of particular interest for high-temperature applications [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Generally, they are stable at temperatures up to 250 °C over a long period.…”
