Coating modulus significantly impacts pseudobarnacle adhesion strength. Increased molecular flexibility, indicated by dynamic mechanical analysis, leads to reduced adhesive bonding, highlighting the importance of material properties in biofouling resistance.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Adhesion Science

Background:

  • Understanding adhesive bonding is crucial for marine applications.
  • Pseudobarnacle adhesion presents challenges in antifouling strategies.
  • Coating properties influence the effectiveness of adhesive bonds.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between coating modulus and pseudobarnacle adhesive bonding strength.
  • To determine how coating properties affect adhesion under varying temperatures.
  • To elucidate the mechanisms behind adhesion changes due to molecular mobility.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized poly(butylmethacrylate) as a model coating.
  • Employed differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to determine glass transition temperature (Tg).

  • Conducted dynamic contact angle (DCA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to assess molecular mobility and storage modulus (G').

    • Main Results:

    • A correlation was found between coating storage modulus and pseudobarnacle detachment stress.
    • Increased temperature led to higher molecular mobility and a drop in storage modulus.
    • Surface chemistry remained stable within the tested temperature range (5-50°C).

    Conclusions:

    • Coating modulus is a key factor in pseudobarnacle adhesive bonding strength.
    • Increased molecular flexibility and mobility at higher temperatures reduce adhesion.
    • Interfacial slip, driven by molecular mobility, likely decreases adhesive strength.
