Abstract

Preparing polymeric coatings with well corrosion resistance and high thermal conductivity (TC) to prolong operational life and ensure service reliability of heat conductive metallic materials has long been a substantive and urgent need while a difficult task. Here we report a multifunctional epoxy composite coating (F-CB/CEP) by synthesizing cerium methacrylate and ingeniously using it as a novel curing agent with corrosion inhibit for epoxy resin and modifier for boron nitride through "cation-π" interaction. The prepared F-CB/CEP coating presents a high TC of 4.29 W m−1 K−1, which is much higher than other reported anti-corrosion polymer coatings and thereby endowing metal materials coated by this coating with outstanding thermal management performance compared with those coated by pure epoxy coating. Meanwhile, the low-frequency impedance remains at 5.1 × 1011 Ω cm2 even after 181 days of immersion in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Besides, the coating also exhibits well hydrophobicity, self-cleaning properties, temperature resistance and adhesion. This work provides valuable insights for the preparation of high-performance composite coatings with potential to be used as advanced multifunctional thermal management materials, especially for heat conduction metals protection.


Highlights:
1 Cerium methacrylate was prepared and ingeniously used as curing agent for epoxy, surface modifier for BN, and effective corrosion inhibitor.
2 The coating integrates high thermal conductivity (4.29 W m−1 K−1), corrosion resistance (low-frequency impedance is 5.1 × 1011 Ω cm2 at 181 day), hydrophobicity (WCA: ~ 148.35° and WSA: ~ 20°), temperature resistance and adhesion.
3 The coating can extend service life of metal materials without sacrificing their inherent heat conduction property.
