Wear-resistant/antifouling integrated coating protection technology of polyethylene cableVerschleissfestes Polyethylenkabel mit integrierter Antifouling-Beschichtungsschutztechnologie

Polymer cables are being applied increasingly in fields such as deep-sea mooring and cage culture. How to improve their wear resistance and prevent microbial adhesion is an urgent problem to be solved. In this work, the surface of the cable was treated by the polyvinylpyrrolidone cross-linking method and the anchoring effect of one-dimensional linear nanomaterials, which improved the adhesion of the water-based coating. Meanwhile, the protective effect of the coating was improved through the addition of antifouling agents and wear-resistant agents. The microstructure and intermolecular forces of the coating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The net hanging test results show that the surface-treated cable exhibits better abrasion resistance and antifouling effects, and the shedding phenomenon is significantly improved.
