Abstract:

In this work, a vegetable oil⁃based (ESOD) polyol with a high hydroxyl value was obtained through a ring⁃opening reaction between epoxidized soybean oil and 2,2⁃bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid using a solvent⁃free method. To fabricate an anti⁃graffiti and self⁃cleaning coating, the ESOD polyol, mono⁃hydroxy⁃terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS⁃OH), and hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer were employed as a polyol component, a low surface energy component, and a curing agent, respectively. The as⁃prepared biobased coatings look very smooth and transparent. With incorporating only 1 % of PDMS⁃OH, the resulting coatings exhibited outstanding anti⁃graffiti and self⁃cleaning performance. The droplets of water, coffee, rice vinegar, hexadecane, or peanut oil could slide off from the surface of the coa⁃tings without leaving any wetting footprints. Graphite powders, clay powders, and orange pigment powders could be efficiently removed by dripping water. Impressively, the coatings presented good wear resistance. Even after subjected to 1,200 cycles of writing and erasing with an oil⁃based marker pen, the coatings still exhibited a good ink shrinkage ability due to easy easing of ink traces.
