Polymer Coatings

A coating is a covering that is applied to the surface of an object, usually referred to as the
substrate. The purpose of applying the coating may be decorative, functional, or both.

Functional coatings may be applied to change the surface properties of the


substrate, such as adhesion, wetability, corrosion resistance, or wear resistance.

Changing adhesion properties.

Insulating coatings: Insulating material is used as a


protective coating on electrical wire and cables.
Material like PVC, Teflon and rubber are very good Teflon coated fabric
electrical insulators.
Basic Composition of Paint
Paints and lacquers: Coatings have dual uses of protecting the substrate and
being decorative. (The paint on large industrial pipes is presumably only for
the function of preventing corrosion).

Acrylic vs. Alkyd Paints

The paint on the left half of each


board is acrylic, the paint on the
right half, an alkyd.

The colors of the paints were


identical when applied. After 15
years of weathering, the
appearance of the alkyds has
changed dramatically.

All have lost gloss, faded, and


chalked. The acrylic paints, in
contrast, have proven remarkably
durable with good color retention.

Painting
Painting is the practice of applying paint to a surface. The medium is
commonly applied to the base with a brush. This is the simlest coating
technique.

Spraying
This process occurs when paint is applied to an object
through the use of an air-pressurized (compressed
gas)spray gun. The air gun has a nozzle, paint basin, and
air compressor. When the trigger is pressed the paint
mixes with the compressed air stream and is released in
a fine spray.

Air gun spraying uses equipment that is generally larger


and used for covering large surfaces with an even
coating of liquid.

Electrostatic Painting, Powder Deposition: In these deposition processes, a
powder (or sometimes a liquid) is atomized and given an electric charge. The
charged particles of powder drift toward a conductive workpiece (the item
that is being powder painted), usually with additional airflow assist from a
fan or pump. The powder is electrostatically attracted to the workpiece and
sticks to it. Then the workpiece is heated, which melts the powder so that it
forms a smooth, solid coat. Heat (or UV for a low-temperature piece) will
also polymerize the melted powder if the coating is permanently-hardening
(a thermoset). The applied voltage is usually negative, but it is positive for
nylon and some other materials, because each material has its own charging
preference. An insulator can also be electrostatically sprayed if it is very thin
and is backed by a grounded conductor.
ELEKTROSTATİK TOZ BOYAMA NEDİR ?

Solvent içermeyen bir yüzey kaplama metodudur.


Kaplayıcı malzeme, son kat boya tabakasını olusturan çok
ince toz boya partikülleridir.

Toz boya, boya kabininde özel boya tabancalari vasıtasıyla


atılır. Tabancadan geçerken elektrostatik yüklenen toz
boya partikülleri kabin içinde boyanacak malzemeye
yapışır ve kaplama işlemi gerçekleşmiş olur. Toz boyanın
malzeme yüzeyine tam olarak yapışabilmesi için
malzemenin de çok iyi bir şekilde topraklanmasi gerekir.
Fazla atilan boya, kabinde bulunan boya geri kazanim
sistemi sayesinde toplanır ve tekrar kullanıma sokulur.
Boya geri kazanim sistemi elektrostatik toz boyama
teknolojisinin en büyük ekonomik avantajlarindan biridir.
Malzeme toz boya ile kaplandiktan sonra pisirme fırınına
girer. 200ºC olan fırn ısısı toz boyanin erimesini ve
malzeme üzerine yapışmasını sağlar. Sonuçta çok
dayanıklı, ekonomik, çevre dostu, geniş renk yelpazeli ve
parlak bir yüzey kaplamasi elde edilir.

Solvent içermemesi, yüzey kalitesi, dayanıklılığı, boya geri


kazanim sistemi, ekonomikligi ve çevre duyarliligi
elektrostatik toz boyamayi geleneksel boyama işlemlerine
göre daha çekici bir alternatif yapmaktadir.
Toz boya ile boyanacak olan malzemelere uygulanan işlemler;

1) Malzemeler ilk önce yıkama-yağ alma ve durulama-fosfatlama bölümünde işlem görür. Fosfatlama işlemi sayesinde metal
yüzey üzerinde koruyucu bir tabaka oluşturulur.Bu sayede metalin hava alması engellenir ve toz boyanın malzemeyi sarması
kolaylaşır. Böylece metal üzerinde oluşacak korozyon ve paslanmanın önüne geçilir, malzemenin uzun ömürlü ve
dayanıklı olması sağlanır.

2) Daha sonra malzemelerin yüzey temizliği kontrol edilir. Eğer ki malzemelerde çapak varsa temizlenir düzeltme ve zımpara
işlemleri yapılır.

3) Malzemeler boyanmak üzere konveyör hattına asılır ve hava tabancaları ile malzemelere hava tutulur. Malzemelerin
üzerinde toz ve benzeri kalıntıların kalmadığından emin olunur.

4) Konveyör hattı ilerlemeye başlar ve malzemeler toz boya kabininin içine girer, tabanca sistemleri ile malzemeler toz boya
ile boyanırlar.

5) İlerleyen konveyör hattı üzerindeki malzemeler fırından içeriye girmeye başlarlar, malzeme kalınlıklarına göre ve boya
kürlenme derecelerine göre fırında özel ısı ve zaman ayarları yapılır.Bu sayade malzemenin kürlenmesi(pişmesi) sağlanır.
(Boya kürlenme dereceleri 180-210°C arasındadır)

6) Elektrostatik toz boya ile boyanan malzemeler fırından dışarıya çıkar ve kısa bir süre soğumaya bırakılır.

7) Böylece dayanıklı, sağlam ve estetik açıdan mükemmel bir boya elde edilmiş olur.

DIP COATING

• In a dip-coating process, a substrate is dipped into a liquid coating solution and then is
withdrawn from the solution at a controlled speed. Coating thickness generally
increases with faster withdrawal speed. The thickness is determined by the balance of
forces at the stagnation point on the liquid surface. A faster withdrawal speed pulls
more fluid up onto the surface of the substrate before it has time to flow back down
into the solution. The thickness is primarily affected by fluid viscosity, fluid density, and
surface tension.

• Dip-coating, while excellent for producing high-quality, uniform coatings, requires


precise control and a clean environment. The applied coating may remain wet for
several minutes until the solvent evaporates. This process can be accelerated by heated
drying. In addition, the coating may be cured by a variety of means including
conventional thermal, UV, or IR techniques depending on the coating solution
Dip Coating

Thickness of layer depends on some parameters like


viscosity and solid content of liquid and is formulated:

In which:
• h: thickness
• ρ: density
• g: gravity constant
• η: viscosity
• γlv: liquid‐vapor surface tension
• v: dtagging speed
neoprene

polyurethane

Plastisol is the most common dip molding material. It is


a mixture of suspended plastic particles (usually PVC)
dispersed in a plasticizer. As a liquid, it can be stored at
room temperature for years.
Other common candidates for dip molding are latex,
neoprene, urethane, epoxy, etc. Recently, polyurethane
and silicone are often used to replace latex to avoid
allergy related issues.

NOTE: latex is also the name for natural non-vulcanized rubber.


Spin Coating
Spin Coating

Spin coating is a cheap and fast method to produce homogeneous layers. An excess
amount of the solvent is placed on the substrate, which is then rotated at high speed in
order to spread the fluid by centrifugal force. The film thickness can be adjusted by
varying the rotation speed, the rotation time, and the concentration of the used
solution. The disadvantage of this method is that it is limited by the solvent and that no
lateral resolution is possible.

Spin coating is widely used in microfabrication, where it can be used to create thin films
with thicknesses below 10 nm. It is used intensively to deposit layers of photoresist (light
sensitive materials) about 1 micrometre thick.
Spin Coating

Thickness of the layer depends on many different parameters. Equation 1 shows how these
parameters affect thickness:

In which:
• h: thickness
• ρA: density of volatile liquid
• η: viscosity of solution
• m: rate of evaporation
• ω:angular speed

Because we have to calculate evaporation rate experimentally, a simpler equation is


suggested as below:

A,B are constant parameters that should be calculated experimentally, but in most cases, it
has been proved that B is some where between 0.4 and 0.7.
Some technologies that depend heavily on high quality spin
coated layers are:

•Photoresist* for defining patterns in microcircuit fabrication.


•Dielectric/insulating layers for microcircuit fabrication
•Magnetic disk coatings
•Flat screen display coatings - Antireflection coatings,
conductive oxide, etc.
•Compact Disks – DVD, CD ROM, etc.
•Television tube phosphor and antireflection coatings.

*A photoresist is a light-sensitive material used in several industrial processes,


such as photolithography to form a patterned coating on a surface.
Fluidized Bed Coating
Fluidized bed coating is a commercially important process which was developed for
application of plastic coatings on metal substrates. Dry powder coating processes use no
solvents and thus provide an environmentally friendly alternative to dipping and
spraying. It is possible to build a film thickness of 2500 µm using higher preheat
temperatures and multiple dips.

ADVANTAGES
•Ability to coat irregular shapes,
• Simple and inexpensive
equipment requirements,
•Process automation,
•Smooth and continuous coating
applications.

DISADVANTAGES
•Pre-heat and post-heat ovens are
required
•Minimum of 200um to be applied The Process Steps :
•Complex shapes trap excess 1. Sample pre-heated to 200-230C
powder 2. Initial deposit melts onto part
3. Film builds from residual heat
4. Coated part with desired film
Film or Sheet Coating Methods
Roll Coating

In this process polymer solution is rolled onto the fabric/film/sheet by a roller


suspended in the coating solution, often a blade is positioned close to the roller
to ensure not too much coating solution is applied.
Calendering
Calenders consist of a number of rollers, sometimes five or more in various
configurations, which rotate to crush the polymer ‘dough’ and smooth it into films
of uniform thickness. The thickness of the film is determined by the gap
separation of the rollers. The more rollers, film produced is more accurate. Some
of the latter rollers also generates heat, and the polymer fabricated into a
continuous sheet can be brought into contact with the fabric to which it adheres.

Application: Textile materials are covered with


elastomer on one or both sides.
Transfer Coating
The principle of transfer coating is first to spread the polymer on to release paper to form
a film and then to laminate this film to the fabric.

The process is divided in few steps


Transfer paper like;
● Coat the resin on to the transfer
paper
● Coat the adhesive which joins the
top layer to the fabric
● Lay the fabric on top of the coating,
nip together and crosslink the two
layers together
● Peel the coated fabric off the
release paper.

The main uses of this type of coating technique are the transfer coated polyurethane
fabrics is in up-market and the waterproof protective clothing.
Extrusion coating
In extrusion coating applications, resin is melted and formed into thin
hot film, which is coated onto a moving, flat substrate such as paper,
paperboard, metal foil or plastic film. The coated substrate then
passes between a set of counter rotating rolls that press the coating
onto the substrate to ensure complete contact and adhesion.

packaging milk, liquid, powdered and solid foods

Steel cable can be jacketed with a number


of plastics, and a variety of wall thicknesses.

Polypropylene or Polyethylene.

Self-healing of a polymer

One of the self-healing mechanism


developed to date incorporates liquid
monomer-filled vessels and catalyst
particles into a polymer matrix. Upon
material fracture, vessels rupture,
followed by flow of the liquid monomer
into the crack volume. When the
monomer contacts the catalyst particles
it polymerizes and adheres the crack
faces together. The first and most well-
studied monomer/catalyst combination
used thus far in self-healing systems is
dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and Grubbs'
catalyst, the former of which undergoes
ring-opening metathesis polymerization
(ROMP) in the presence of the latter.
Lithographic patterning using UV light is a very attractive technology due to the
relatively low energy consumption, room temperature operation, rapid curing, spatial
control and the ability to expose in a single step large surface areas. For these reasons
UV lithography is nowadays the most widespread used method for microfabrication.

SOL-GEL

In the solgel process, simple molecular precursors are converted into nanometer-sized particles to form
a colloidal suspension, or sol. The colloidal nanoparticles are then linked with one another in a 3D,
liquid-filled solid network. This transformation to a gel can be initiated in several ways, but the most
convenient approach is to change the pH of the reaction solution. Even the method used to remove
liquid from a solid will affect the solgel’s properties. For example, to preserve a gel’s original 3D
structure and produce low-density aerogels, chemists use a technique called supercritical drying. If,
instead, the gel is dried slowly in a fluid-evaporation process, the gel’s structural network collapses,
which creates a high-density material known as a xerogel.
Aerogel properties can be changed by adding different precursor molecules.
For example;
(a) an aluminum oxide foam prepared from aluminum nitrate has a cluster
morphology that results in (b) an opaque aerogel.
(c) Using aluminum chloride as the precursor produces an aerogel with
fibrous morphology, resulting in (d) a stronger foam that is also translucent.
