Abstract

A super-hydrorepellent coating composition including a nano structure, polyorganosiloxane, a cross-linker, and a catalyst; a super-hydrorepellent coating layer including a cured product of the super-hydrorepellent coating composition; and a heat exchanger including the super-hydrorepellent coating layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydrorepellent coating composition comprising:
a nano structure,
polyorganosiloxane,
a cross-linker, and
a catalyst;
wherein:
the nano structure has at least one of a wire shape, a tube shape, or a fiber shape, or a combination thereof;
the nano structure has a nano diameter;
the nano structure comprises at least one kind of substance selected from the group consisting of a carbon nanotube, carbon nanofiber, a Si nanowire, a ZnO nanowire, a Cu nanowire, and a GaN nanowire;
the diameter of the nano structure is about 1 nm to about 1,000 nm and a length of the nano structure is about 10μm to about 1,000μm; and
the hydrorepellent coating composition comprises about 8 to about 500 parts by weight of the nano structure, about 1 to about 200 parts by weight of the cross-linker, and about 0.001 to about 10 parts by weight of the catalyst, based on about 100 parts by weight of the polyorganosiloxane.

2. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyorganosiloxane contains a siloxane repeating unit represented by Formula 1, and a weight average molecular weight of about 200 to about 300,000:
—SiR 1 R 2 O—  <Formula 1>

wherein R 1 and R 2 are, respectively, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 aryl group.

3. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyorganosiloxane comprises at least one kind of material selected from the group consisting of polydimethylsiloxane, polymethylphenylsiloxane, polydiphenylsiloxane, polyfluorinesiloxane, and polyvinylsiloxane, and a copolymer or combination thereof.

4. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the cross-linker comprises at least one kind of material selected from the group consisting of a silane-based compound and an organohydrogensiloxane-based compound having a Si-H bond.

5. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst comprises a tin compound, a titanium compound, a zirconium compound, a lead compound, an iron compound, a cobalt compound, an antimony compound, a manganese compound, a bismuth compound, a zinc compound, a platinum compound, a palladium compound, or a rhodium compound.

6. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 1 , further comprising a filler, wherein the filler comprises any one or more of silica, quartz, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, iron oxide, zirconium oxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, zinc carbonate, layered mica, carbon black, and diatomaceous earth.

7. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 6 , wherein the filler comprises any one or more of a filler having a micro diameter and a filler having a nano diameter.

8. The hydrorepellent coating composition of claim 6 , wherein the amount of the filler is in a range of about 1 to about 100 parts by weight based on about 100 parts by weight of polyorganosiloxane.

9. A method of forming a hydrorepellent coating layer, comprising;
forming a coating layer of the nano structure-containing hydrorepellent coating composition of any one of claims 1 , 2 - 7 and 8 on a substance, and
curing the formed coating layer.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein forming the coating layer is by any one of spin-coating, spray-coating, laminating, or a dip-coating.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising, following the curing, surface-treating the cured coating layer so as to allow an end of the nano structure to protrude to outside of the coating layer.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the surface-treating is by any one of a plasma etching or a wet etching.

13. A hydrorepellent coating layer comprising a cured product of a hydrorepellent coating composition comprising:
a nano structure,
polyorganosiloxane,
a cross-linker, and
a catalyst,
wherein:
an end of the nano structure protrudes to outside of the cured product;
the nano structure has at least one of a wire shape, a tube shape, or a fiber shape, or a combination thereof; and
the nano structure has a nano diameter
the nano structure comprises at least one kind of substance selected from the group consisting of a carbon nanotube, carbon nanofiber, a Si nanowire, a ZnO nanowire, a Cu nanowire, and a GaN nanowire;
the diameter of the nano structure is about 1 nm to about 1,000 nm and a length of the nano structure is about 10μm to about 1,000μm; and
the hydrorepellent coating composition comprises about 8 to about 500 parts by weight of the nano structure, about 1 to about 200 parts by weight of the cross-linker, and about 0.001 to about 10 parts by weight of the catalyst, based on about 100 parts by weight of the polyorganosiloxane.

14. The hydrorepellent coating layer of claim 13 , wherein the cured product further comprises a filler, wherein the filler is located inside the cured product or protrudes to the outside of the cured product.

15. A heat exchanger comprising the hydrorepellent coating layer of claim 13 or claim 14 on a surface of the heat exchanger.
