氟硅结构对UV涂料疏水疏油性的影响

UV防污助剂主要包括有机氟和有机硅等，前者结构主要是全氟聚醚链段，后者结构主要是聚二甲基硅氧烷链，利用氟硅的低表面张力起到防污作用，所以主要链段结构的细微差异会导致性能的明显变化。本文选取C1607、C1603和KY1203分别代表聚二甲基硅氧烷、K型全氟聚醚链段和Z型全氟聚醚链段，并与UV涂料复配和固化，研究不同氟硅链段对UV涂料的疏水疏油性能的影响规律。结果证明，聚二甲基硅氧烷链段具有较强的迁移性，低添加量就可达到疏水效果，但仅能应用于低端的防水防油需求。全氟聚醚类UV防污助剂的疏水疏油性能要远优于有机硅，在较高添加量时K型全氟聚醚类UV防污助剂具有更强的疏水疏油性能。

Cell Spheroid Formation on the Surface of Multi-Block Copolymers Composed of Poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) and Polyethylene Glycol

3D structured cells have great drug screening potential because they mimic in vivo tissues better than 2D cultured cells. In this study, multi-block copolymers composed of poly(2-methoxyethyl acrylate) (PMEA) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are developed as a new kind of biocompatible polymers. PEG imparts non-cell adhesion while PMEA acts as an anchoring segment to prepare the polymer coating surface. The multi-block copolymers show higher stability in water than PMEA. A specific micro-sized swelling structure composed of a PEG chain is observed in the multi-block copolymer film in water. A single NIH3T3-3-4 spheroid is formed in 3 h on the surface of the multi-block copolymers with 8.4 wt% PEG. However, at a PEG content of 0.7 wt%, spheroid formed after 4 days. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP) activity of cells and the internal necrotic state of the spheroid change depending on PEG loading in the multi-block copolymers. As the formation rate of cell spheroid on low-PEG-ratio multi-block copolymers is slow, internal necrosis of cell spheroid is less likely to occur. Consequently, the cell spheroid formation rate by changing the PEG chain content in multi-block copolymers is successfully controlled. These unique surfaces are suggested to be useful for 3D cell culture.     

PDMS network blends of amphiphilic acrylic copolymers with poly(ethylene glycol)‐fluoroalkyl side chains for fouling‐release coatings. I. Chemistry and stability of the film surface

Amphiphilic copolymers of a methacrylic monomer (SiMA) carrying a polysiloxane side chain and an acrylic monomer (ZA) with a mixed poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐fluoroalkyl side chain (10–85 mol % ZA) were incorporated as the surface‐active components into poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) network blends at different loadings (1 and 4 wt % with respect to PDMS). Wettability of the coating surfaces was investigated by contact angle measurements, and their surface chemical composition was determined by angle‐resolved X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the surface segregation of the fluoroalkyl segments of the amphiphilic copolymers was responsible for the high enrichment in fluorine concentration within 10 nm of the coating surface. The PEG segments were also concentrated at the polymer?air interface. The chemical composition of the films was proven to be relatively little affected by immersion in water. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem, 2012

Sol–gel derived hybrid coatings for the improvement of scratch resistance of polyethylene

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials were prepared through the sol–gel approach starting from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), as silica precursor, and triethoxysilane terminated polymers; before gelling the solutions were applied to polyethylene (PE) films and slabs by spin-coating, without any previous surface pre-treatment of the substrate, and finally the coatings were thermally cured at 60 °C for 24 h. Among the various polymers used to prepare the coatings, only polyethylene-b-poly(ethylene glycol) copolymers gave good results in terms of adhesion to the PE substrates, and hybrid coatings with different organic–inorganic ratios were prepared. As suggested by visual inspection and SEM investigation, and confirmed by the critical loads derived from scratch tests, a good adhesion of the coating to the PE substrates was obtained, probably due to the presence of PE segments in the organic phase of the coating. Transparency as well as SEM and DSC data were in agreement with the formation of a nanostructured hybrid coating, with a high level of interpenetration between organic and inorganic domains. It was also observed that these hybrid coatings are able to improve significantly the scratch resistance and slightly increase the wettability with respect to uncoated PE. This approach to the surface-properties modification of PE appears as a simple and convenient method for the functionalization of PE substrates.     

Role of precursors and coating polymers in sol–gel chemistry toward enhanced selectivity and efficiency in solid phase microextraction

To evaluate the selectivity and efficiency of solid phase microextraction (SPME) fiber coatings, synthesized by sol–gel technology, roles of precursors and coating polymers were extensively investigated. An on-line combination of capillary microextraction (CME) technique and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was set up to perform the investigation. Ten different fiber coatings were synthesized in which five of them contained only the precursor and the rests were prepared using both the precursor and coating polymer. All the coatings were chemically bonded to the inner surface of copper tubes, intended to be used as the CME device and already functionalized by self-assembly monolayers of 3-(mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (3MPTMOS). The selected precursors included tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (TMSPMA), 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propylamine (TMSPA), 3MPTMOS, [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)-propyl]-trimethoxysilane (EPPTMOS) while poly(ethyleneglycol) (PEG) was chosen as the coating polymer. The effects of different precursors on the extraction efficiency and selectivity, was studied by selecting a list of compounds ranging from non-polar to polar ones, i.e. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, herbicides, estrogens and triazines. The results from CME–HPLC analysis revealed that there is no significant difference between precursors, except TMOS, in which has the lowest extraction efficiency. Most of the selected precursors have rather similar interactions toward the selected analytes which include Van der Walls, dipole–dipole and hydrogen bond while TMOS has only dipole–dipole interaction and therefore the least efficiency. TMOS is silica but the other sorbents are organically modified silica (ORMOSIL). Our investigation revealed that it is rather impossible to prepare a selective coating using conventional sol–gel methodologies. The comparison study performed among the fiber coatings contained only a precursor and those synthesized by a precursor along with coating polymer proved that the extraction efficiency obtained for all coatings are the same. This is an indication that by selecting the appropriate precursor there is no need to use any coating polymer. In overall, a fiber coating in sol–gel process could be synthesize with no coating polymer which leads to faster, easier, cheaper and more controllable synthesis.

Amphiphilic pentablock copolymers and their blends with PDMS for antibiofouling coatings

Well‐defined amphiphilic pentablock copolymers Siy‐(EGx‐FAz)₂ composed of polysiloxane (Si), polyethylene glycol (EG), and perfluorohexylethyl polyacrylate (FA) blocks are synthesized by ATRP of FA monomer starting from a difunctional bromo‐terminated macroinitiator. Diblock copolymers EGx‐FAz are also synthesized as model systems. The block copolymers are used, either alone or blended with a PDMS matrix in varied loadings, to prepare antibiofouling coatings. Angle‐resolved XPS and contact angle measurements show that the coating surface is highly enriched in fluorine content but undergoes reconstruction after contact with water. Protein adsorption experiments with human serum albumin and calf serum highlight that diblock copolymers resist protein adhesion better than do pentablock copolymers. Blending of the pentablock copolymer with PDMS results in increased protein adsorption. By contrast, the PDMS‐matrix coatings show high removal percentages of sporelings of the green fouling alga Ulva linza. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Epoxy Coatings with Low Surface Energy from Powdered Compounds Modified with Finely Dispersed Polytetrafluoroethylene Particles

Highly hydrophobic epoxy coatings with the surface energy as low as 14.5 mJ m^–2 and contact angles with water of 120°–150° were prepared from powdered compounds modified with less than 2 wt % finely dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene particles by dry mixing. As shown by scanning electron microscopy, EDX microanalysis, and atomic-force microscopy, the film formation at 180°С and formation of a polymer network matrix are accompanied by predominant migration of polytetrafluoroethylene particles to the air/coating interface, leading to gradient distribution of fluorine across the film and significant enrichment of the coating surface with fluorine. By varying the polytetrafluoroethylene content, it is possible to obtain hydrophobic coatings with satisfactory physicomechanical properties, smooth or rough surface, including micrometric and nanometric roughness, and different surface energy.     

Nanostructured films of amphiphilic fluorinated block copolymers for fouling release application

New amphiphilic block copolymers S nSz m consisting of blocks with varied degrees of polymerization, n and m, of polystyrene, S, and polystyrene carrying an amphiphilic polyoxyethylene-polytetrafluoroethylene chain side-group, Sz, were prepared by controlled atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The block copolymers, either alone or in a blend with commercial SEBS (10 wt% SEBS), were spin-coated in thinner films (200-400 nm) on glass and spray-coated in thicker films ( approximately 500 nm) on a SEBS underlayer (150-200 microm). Angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements proved that at any photoemission angle, varphi, the atomic ratio F/C was larger than that expected from the known stoichiometry. Consistent with the enrichment of the outer film surface (3-10 nm) in F content, the measured contact angles, theta, with water (theta w > or = 107 degrees ) and n-hexadecane (theta h > or = 64 degrees ) pointed to the simultaneous hydrophobic and lipophobic character of the films. The film surface tension gamma S calculated from the theta values was in the range 13-15 mN/m. However, the XPS measurements on the "wet" films after immersion in water demonstrated that the film surface underwent reconstruction owing to its amphiphilic nature, thereby giving rise to a more chemically heterogeneous structure. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) images (tapping mode/AC mode) revealed well-defined morphological features of the nanostructured films. Depending on the chemical composition of the block copolymers, spherical (ca. 20 nm diameter) and lying cylindrical (24-29 nm periodicity) nanodomains of the S discrete phase were segregated from the Sz continuous matrix (root-mean-square, rms, roughness approximately 1 nm). After immersion in water, the underwater AFM patterns evidenced a transformation to a mixed surface structure, in which the nanoscale heterogeneity and topography (rms = 1-6 nm) were increased. The coatings were subjected to laboratory bioassays to explore their intrinsic ability to resist the settlement and reduce the adhesion strength of two marine algae, viz., the macroalga (seaweed) Ulva linza and the unicellular diatom Navicula perminuta. The amphiphilic nature of the copolymer coatings resulted in distinctly different performances against these two organisms. Ulva adhered less strongly to the coatings richer in the amphiphilic polystyrene component, percentage removal being maximal at intermediate weight contents. In contrast, Navicula cells adhered less strongly to coatings with a lower weight percentage of the amphiphilic side chains. The results are discussed in terms of the changes in surface structure caused by immersion and the effects such changes may have on the adhesion of the test organisms.
