Abstract
Superhydrophobic materials have shown tremendous potential in various fields.However,the adhesion,wetting,and pinning of low-surface-tension liquids greatly limit their multifunctional applications.There-fore,the creation of superamphiphobic coatings that combine superhydrophobic and superoleophobic properties through a simple preparation strategy is desirable.In this study,we successfully developed an organic-inorganic hybrid superamphiphobic coating on Q235 carbon steel using aluminum oxide nanopar-ticles,organosilanes,and waterborne epoxy resin via a versatile spray-coating technique.The coating ex-hibited high contact angles(>151°)and low sliding angles(<7°)for water and oil liquids,demonstrating excellent superamphiphobic characteristics.Electrochemical tests demonstrated significant improvements in charge transfer resistance and low-frequency modulus for the superamphiphobic coating.The corro-sion potential shifted positively by 590 mV,and the corrosion current density decreased by four orders of magnitude.Additionally,the coating endured 480 h of salt spray and 2400 h of outdoor atmospheric exposure,showcasing superior anti-corrosion capacity.Freezing tests of water droplets at-10 ℃ and-15 ℃ confirmed that the coating significantly prolonged the freezing time with reduced ice adhesion strength.We believe that the designed superamphiphobic coating with integrated functionalities of self-cleaning,anti-corrosion,anti-icing,and anti-liquid-adhesion can provide important solutions for extend-ing the lifespan of materials in marine and industrial environments.
