Abstract
A novel polymeric microcapsule was designed and synthesized using perfluoropolyether silane (PFPE-silane) as a superhydrophobic core material and ethyl cellulose (EC) as a shell material. The effects of the stirring rate and the core-to-shell ratio on the synthesized microcapsules were investigated. The physicochemical [...] Read more.
A novel polymeric microcapsule was designed and synthesized using perfluoropolyether silane (PFPE-silane) as a superhydrophobic core material and ethyl cellulose (EC) as a shell material. The effects of the stirring rate and the core-to-shell ratio on the synthesized microcapsules were investigated. The physicochemical properties of the polymeric microcapsules were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, laser particle size analysis, and wettability analysis. The results showed that when the stirring rate was 650 rpm and the core-to-shell ratio was 1:1, well-distributed and uniformly dispersed microcapsules could be obtained. The results also indicated that the prepared polymeric microcapsules were spherical particles with micropores on the surface, and they had an average particle size of 165.71 μm. The EC shells could effectively prevent the thermal decomposition of PFPE-silane during cement hydration, and the PFPE-silane also exhibited excellent hydrophobicity. The specially designed structure of this polymeric microcapsule suggests its potential for enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete structures. Full article

Abstract
The contribution aims to bring forth a novel synthesis route in developing transparent UV LED-curable coatings accounting for various exposure options. A selection of perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-urethane methacrylate and acrylate resins, free-radical photo-initiator Omnirad 2100, and two distinct silane-based crosslinking agents were blended under [...] Read more.
The contribution aims to bring forth a novel synthesis route in developing transparent UV LED-curable coatings accounting for various exposure options. A selection of perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-urethane methacrylate and acrylate resins, free-radical photo-initiator Omnirad 2100, and two distinct silane-based crosslinking agents were blended under a weight ratio of 75:20:5 (without crosslinker) and 70:15:5:10, respectively. The coatings were cured under a UV LED 4 × 3 matrix light emitting source, in a chamber under a controlled atmosphere, by means of an in-house developed conveyor belt type platform, at different conveyor belt speeds (5, 50, 150, 250, and 500 mm/s). The morphologies of fabricated coatings were characterized by FTIR revealing high conversion rates (e.g., from 98 to 100%) for increased exposure time as a result of the 5 or 50 mm/s values, on all combinations. Dynamic–mechanical and optical properties of UV LED-cured transparent coatings were also investigated. A negative shift of the glass transition temperature values with a decrease in exposure time, in all combinations, from about 60 °C to 30 °C, along with storage moduli lowering in the glassy plateau further favors higher exposure times for curing. The refractive indices of poly-mers were from 1.38 to 1.40, whereas the thermo-optic coefficients are showing minor changes around the value of 2.55∙10−4 K−1. Full article
