The invention relates to self-repairing paint and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
metal protection. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding self-made mesoporous
silicon dioxide nanoparticles into a
benzotriazole ethanol solution, and stirring to obtain mesoporous
silicon dioxide nanoparticles loading a
corrosion inhibitor; adding the mesoporous
silicon dioxide nanoparticles loading the
corrosion inhibitor into a
zirconium n-propoxide
alcohol solution and stirring; adding a
nitric acid solution and stirring; filtering to obtain filter residues; adding the filter residues into a
chitosan solution; after carrying out
ultrasonic dispersion, centrifugally separating to obtain
sediment; adding the
sediment into a
sodium alginate solution; after carrying out the
ultrasonic dispersion, centrifugally separating to obtain a layer-by-layer packaged
corrosion inhibitor; finally, uniformly stirring
epoxy resin, a diluting agent, a curing agent, the layer-by-layer packaged
corrosion inhibitor and a dispersant, and carrying out the
ultrasonic dispersion to obtain the self-repairing paint. The self-repairing paint has the advantages of simplicity in preparation, large
load capacity and
corrosion inhibitor release-response function, and has a good repairing capability on
coating corrosion damages caused by the
natural environment.
