Abstract
A novel method for the fabrication of robust polyurea microcapsules containing tung oil as a core material was developed for self-healing anticorrosive coating application. Well-distinct microcapsules with polyurea as a shell were prepared by reacting hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer with 0.0 G polyamidoamine (PAMAM) via interfacial polymerization technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis was performed to elucidate the chemical structure of microcapsules as well as to confirm successful encapsulation of core by the polyurea shell. Surface morphology, particle size, distribution of particle size, thermal, and mechanical properties of the prepared PAMAM-based polyurea microcapsules were compared with microcapsules that were prepared using diethylenetriamine (DETA) and triethylenetetramine (TETA). The prepared microcapsules were embedded with acrylic polyol-based polyurethane (PU) coatings to ensure anticorrosive performance. The immersion study of self-healing PU coatings loaded with 5% PAMAM-based polyurea microcapsules possesses satisfactory anticorrosive property under an accelerated corrosion process in 5% NaCl salt solution.
