Technical Field
The invention relates to a super-hydrophobic film, in particular to an electrochromic super-hydrophobic film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, with the vigorous development of composite materials, diversification of material functions has been emphasized. The super-hydrophobic material is a material with a surface static water drop contact angle larger than 150 degrees and a rolling angle smaller than 10 degrees, and has wide application prospects in the fields of self-cleaning, ice coating prevention, pollution prevention, drag reduction, oil-water separation and the like. However, the existing super-hydrophobic material has single function and is difficult to meet the use requirements of a plurality of emerging fields.
The intelligent material is a material which can timely and accurately sense the external environmental conditions and changes and make judgment, processing and reaction. The intelligent color-changing material can perform reversible color transformation under the stimulation of external conditions such as heat, light wave irradiation, voltage and the like, and has important prospects in the fields of anti-counterfeiting marks, temperature indication, daily decoration and the like, so that the intelligent color-changing material is concerned by many scholars at home and abroad. Endowing the intelligent temperature-sensitive color-changing performance to the super-hydrophobic material not only can widen the application field of the super-hydrophobic material, but also can avoid the color-changing performance of the material from being damaged when the material is used in the environments of humidity, acid and alkali and the like for a long time. However, few studies related to the color-changeable super-hydrophobic material are reported at present. Chinese invention patents CN102561043A and CN104249534A disclose a color-changing super-hydrophobic fabric and a preparation method thereof, but the method is only applicable to fabric substrates. In addition, the super-hydrophobic coating with thermochromic performance is prepared by performing hydrophobic modification on temperature-sensitive powder by Liangheiming and the like, mixing the temperature-sensitive powder with a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer and spraying the mixture on a substrate, but the coating only responds to one temperature and only realizes the conversion of two colors (Liangheiming, Van Jun, Wang Ciyuan and the like, stable preparation and characterization of the temperature-sensitive photochromic super-hydrophobic coating, contemporary chemical engineering, 2019, 48(8), 1660-. The Chinese patent application 2019106750150 discloses an electrochromic/deformable film and a preparation method thereof, the electrochromic/deformable film comprises a substrate layer, an electrochromic layer, a bottom color layer, at least two color-changing layers and a packaging layer covering and wrapping the above layers, which are arranged from bottom to top, wherein the upper surface of the packaging layer is provided with a deformable layer capable of realizing surface pattern change; wherein the color changing layer is composed of reversible thermochromic microcapsules, and the color changing temperature is 35-80 ℃; the deformation layer is formed by solidifying thermosetting epoxy resin with shape memory property and endowing the thermosetting epoxy resin with patterns, and the deformation temperature is 40-120 ℃. The preparation method of the electrochromic/deformable film comprises the following steps: and respectively assembling the multilayer structures of the electric heating layer, the bottom color layer, the color changing layer and the packaging material on the basal layer from bottom to top by a suction filtration method, and constructing a deformation layer on the surface of the packaging material. The temperature of the electric heating layer is controlled by a circuit, so that the film can generate multiple reversible color changes and synchronous change of color change and deformation. However, the preparation method of the film is complex and expensive, and the hydrophilicity of the epoxy resin on the surface of the film can adsorb impurities such as dust and the like, so that the color display is influenced. The prior art also has difficulty in achieving a combination of multiple color changes and superhydrophobicity.

ACS Nano, 2010, 4: 4806-; and then adding 4g of hydrogen iodide into 10g of acetic acid, uniformly mixing, then adding the graphene oxide film, reducing for 20min at the temperature of 60 ℃, finally repeatedly washing with water and methanol, and drying to obtain a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) film, and bonding fine copper sheets serving as electrodes on two sides of the front surface of the rGO film through conductive silver paste.
Then, 3g of polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP) was added to 10g N, N-dimethylformamide, stirred at 50 ℃ for 8h, and the solution was drop-coated onto the front side of rGO film and dried at room temperature for 24 h.
Finally, 5g of PVDF-HFP is added into 100g of acetone, the mixture is stirred for 5 hours at 30 ℃, 0.25g of red-yellow discoloration microcapsules (Shenzhen Shenqi New Material science and technology Limited, Red-yellow discoloration color temperature capsules mean that the color is changed from red to yellow) with the discoloration temperature of 45 ℃ are added, and ultrasonic dispersion is carried out for 5 minutes to prepare the dispersion liquid 1.

Drying for 3h at room temperature to obtain the electrochromism super-hydrophobic film.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrochromic super-hydrophobic film prepared in this example. As can be seen in fig. 1, the film includes, from top to bottom, a blue-no low temperature coloration layer, a red-yellow high temperature coloration layer, an rGO electrothermal layer, and a PVDF-HFP substrate layer. The contact angle of the electrochromism super-hydrophobic film prepared by the embodiment is 155 degrees, and the electrochromism super-hydrophobic film has excellent hydrophobicity. This is mainly because the discoloration microcapsules are accumulated on the surface of the film to form a hierarchical coarse structure along with the great volatilization of the solvent during the spraying process, and PVDF-HFP endows the film with extremely low surface energy.
In order to evaluate the electrothermal effect of the electrochromic superhydrophobic film prepared in this example, a voltage of 6V was applied to the film, and the surface temperature thereof was measured with respect to the time of energization using a Ti200 infrared thermometer of Fluke corporation, usa, and the results thereof are shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2, as the energization time was increased to 40s, the film surface temperature rapidly increased to 53 ℃. When the voltage is removed, the surface temperature of the film is gradually recovered. The super-hydrophobic film shows blue color at room temperature, and the low-temperature color changing layer changes from blue color to colorless color as the surface temperature rises to 31 ℃, and the film changes to red color of the high-temperature color changing layer. When the surface temperature was further increased to 45 c, the high temperature discoloration layer changed from red to yellow, and thus the film also showed yellow. When the voltage is removed, the film achieves a reverse blue-red-yellow transition as the surface temperature decreases.
The invention provides an electrochromic super-hydrophobic film and a preparation method thereof by combining an rGO (red graphene oxide) electric heating layer with a substrate layer and an electrochromic super-hydrophobic layer.

The super-hydrophobic film prepared by the invention is not limited by a substrate material, and the intelligent temperature-sensitive color-changing performance is introduced, and can be realized by electric heating. The super-hydrophobicity of the surface of the film can endow the film with excellent self-cleaning performance, so that impurities on the surface of the film can be easily removed under water flushing, the bright color of the film is further ensured, and the super-hydrophobicity of the film can prevent the color-changing performance of the film from being damaged when the film is used in environments such as humidity, acid and alkali for a long time.
