Abstract
In this study, a durable superamphiphobic nano-silica and epoxy composite coating with good environment resistant was successfully fabricated. Fluorinated nano-silica with low surface energy was prepared by in situ sol-gel method, which can be stably dispersed in the solution. Applying fluorinated nano-silica dispersion as sheath and epoxy solution as core, fluorinated nano-silica/epoxy superamphiphobic composite coating was prepared by a coaxial electrospraying method. Fluorinated nano-silica with uniform nano-size was distributed evenly on the micro epoxy particles, showing a special micro-nano hierarchical structure. Nano-indentation shows evident improvement in modulus and hardness of fluorinated nano-silica/epoxy composite coating than that of raw epoxy. In addition, durability of the superamphiphobic coating was assessed by performing harsh chemical environments immersion and scotch tape test.
