Facile and Universal Superhydrophobic Modification to Fabricate Waterborne, Multifunctional Nacre-Mimetic Films with Excellent Stability
Although
numerous kinds of waterborne, nacre-mimetic films with excellent properties
have been fabricated via different assembly methods, it remains difficult
to put those kinds of lightweight materials into practical applications
because they are sensitive to water in the environment. Herein, a
simple superhydrophobic modification method was used to enhance the
repellency of film to water and/or corrosive liquids in the environment.
Furthermore, it lowered the gas transmission rate of the films dramatically
and improved the heat and flame shield capabilities. This approach
could also be applied to other kinds of nacre-mimetic films, proving
to be a versatile, low-cost, fast, and facile method to produce large-area
and thick, waterborne, multifunctional films with excellent repellency
to water and some corrosive liquids in the environment, which will
pave the road for the practical applications of nacre-mimetic films
