Graphene has a unique nanosheet structure and excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical properties and barrier properties. It is a research hotspot in the field of composite materials (coatings) in recent years. However, graphene, due to its high specific surface area and interlaminar force, tends to agglomerate in the polymer resin matrix, failing to fully exert the excellent characteristics of graphene monolayer or few layers, and restricting its application in many fields.

The organic functional coating team under the guidance of Wang Liping and Zhao Haichao, researcher of the Marine Functional Materials Team of the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, is dedicated to the chemical and physical modification of graphene, as well as the preparation and research of graphene multifunctional composite coatings. Based on the π-π interaction between graphene and conductive polymers, the team prepared soluble conductive polymers by controlled polymerization, and combined ultrasonic dispersion to achieve liquid phase exfoliation of graphene, which was dispersed in conventional organic solvents. Up to 5 mg/mL, the average thickness of graphene sheets after exfoliation is 2-3 nm (Figure 1). Through the passivation of the conductive polymer on the coating substrate and the shielding and self-lubricating effect of the two-dimensional nanosheet structure of graphene, only a small amount of peeled graphene (0.5%) epoxy composite coating is provided with corrosion resistance and lubrication. Both sex and wear resistance have been greatly improved. Related work was published on Carbon and applied for national invention patents.

The hydrophobicity of graphene makes it difficult to achieve dispersion in water and aqueous resins. The team prepared water-soluble conductive polymer latex nanoparticles as intercalation agent for graphene by microemulsion polymerization (Fig. 3), and achieved stable dispersion of graphene two-dimensional nanoplates in aqueous resins, and preparation of aqueous epoxy coatings. In the layer, graphene forms a physical barrier layer in the matrix to prolong the diffusion path of the corrosive medium and slow down corrosion; the conductive polymer can generate a dense passivation film on the metal surface, inhibit corrosion, and synergistically improve the corrosion resistance of the composite coating, and The scanning vibration electrode technique (SVET) study shows that the coating has self-healing properties (Figure 4). Related work was published on ACS Applied Material & Interfaces.

The research work was supported by the "Hundred Talents Program" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Frontier Scientific Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the major technology of graphene in Zhejiang Province and the funding of the Natural Science Foundation of Zhejiang Province.

POM plastics,lalso named Acetals(paraformaldehyde) (semel - Stirling),

English name: Polyoxymethylene (Polyformaldehyde),POM mainly has antistatic POM, conductive POM,POM+PTFE SHEET.

 

POM  plastics (polyformaldehyde resin) definition: polyformaldehyde is a linear polymer with no side chain, high density and high crystallographic properties.

According to the different chemical structures in the molecular chain, there are two kinds of homoformaldehyde and copolymerization.

One of the synthetic resin, also known as polyformaldehyde resin, POM plastic, and steel, etc.

POM/Acetals Plastic is a kind of white or black plastic granule with high hardness, high steel and high abrasion resistance.
