The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of urea-formaldehyde (UF) with waterborne emulsion microcapsules on the optical, mechanical and aging resistance properties of waterborne coatings from the perspective of coating process. In this paper, the microcapsules were prepared with UF resin as the wall materials and waterborne emulsion as the core materials. Based on the coating process, the optical, mechanical and aging resistance properties of the waterborne acrylic coatings with microcapsules for American lime were tested. The good coating process is three layers of primer, two layers of topcoat, and adding microcapsules into primer. The results showed that the coating process had little effect on the color difference of the paint film with microcapsules, the gloss of the paint film prepared by the good coating process was basically not changed, and the mechanical properties of the paint film were good. At this time, the hardness grade of the paint film was 3H, the adhesion was grade 0, the impact resistance was 110.0 N·cm−2, and the elongation at break was 29.7%. The microcapsules added to the primer had better liquid resistance than those added to the topcoat. The paint film had good stability and aging resistance, and could inhibit the generation of microcracks to a certain extent. The paint film prepared by the good coating process had better comprehensive performance. This work provides a technical reference for self-healing of the waterborne coatings on American lime.

The suitable coating process and discoloration effect of the waterborne paint added with color-changing powder on the surface of Chinese fir were investigated using an orthogonal method from three factors of the number of primers, topcoats, and the way of adding color-changing powder. It was found that the number of primers showed the greatest significance on the color difference of paint film, and the method of adding the color-changing powder had the most influence on the gloss of the paint film. Meanwhile, the impact resistance, paint film adhesion, liquid film resistance level, the gloss of coatings, and the composition of waterborne coatings were not affected by the three factors. The results indicated that two primers, two topcoats with color-changing powder, were the most suitable coating technologies for the reversible color waterborne coating to obtain a stable and sustainable discoloration effect. These results will provide a reference for the construction and application of a color-changing coating.

The effects of the core-shell ratio and concentration of urea formaldehyde (UF) resin-coated waterborne acrylic resin microcapsules on the optical properties, mechanical properties and liquid resistance of waterborne topcoat coatings on the surface of Tilia europaea were investigated. With the increase of microcapsule concentration, the color difference and hardness of the paint film gradually increased, the gloss and adhesion of the paint film gradually decreased, and the impact resistance and elongation at break of the paint film increased first and then decreased. With the increase of the core-shell ratio, the hardness and impact resistance of the paint film increased first and then decreased, and the adhesion of the paint film decreased gradually. Red ink had a great influence on the liquid resistance of paint film. When the core-shell ratio of UF-coated waterborne acrylic resin microcapsule was 0.58:1 and the microcapsule concentration was 10.0%, the comprehensive performance of paint film on Tilia europaea was better. The prepared self-healing microcapsules applied to the waterborne coatings committed to prolonging the service life of the paint film.

To explore the implication of the coating process on the comprehensive properties of water-based coating containing shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder on the Tilia cordata surface, the optical properties, mechanical properties, liquid resistance, aging resistance, chemical composition, and microstructure of the coating were analyzed comprehensively. After the best coating process was determined, compared with the coating without microcapsules, the self-repairing performance of the water-based coating containing shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder was explored via aging resistance test and scratch test. The results showed that the best comprehensive performance of the coating was obtained by three times primer, two times finish, and 6.0% shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder added in the primer. The coating with shellac microcapsules had significant stability, aging resistance, and self-healing performance, which can repair cracks in a certain period of time and inhibit the formation of cracks. At the core wall ratio of 0.75, the shellac which plays a role of the repair agent as the core material can effectively fill the microcracks in the coating to repair by flowing from the broken microcapsule because it can be physically cured at room temperature. The modification of waterborne coatings with shellac microcapsules coated with melamine/rice husk powder contributes the improved self-repairing properties of surface coatings containing heterogeneous natural polymer composites.

The effect of the coating process on the properties of reversible thermochromic waterborne coating on the surface of Chinese fir was examined. The results demonstrated that the most critical process parameter affecting the color difference and gloss of the coating was the way of adding thermochromic ink. The coating process had little influence on the adhesion, impact resistance adding, liquid resistance, and original properties of the coating. There was no obvious gloss variation in the coating under different coating processes. For the (3+3) layered coatings, when the thermochromic ink was added to the topcoats, the discoloration performance was the most obvious and the comprehensive performance of coating was better. Meanwhile, the gloss was 55.6%, the adhesion grade was grade 0, the impact resistance was 5.0 kg·cm, the liquid resistance grade of the coating to sodium chloride, ethanol and detergent was grade 1, and the liquid resistance grade to red ink was grade 3. The discoloration performance of the coating was stable under the conditions of aging and time change. This study provides new insight into preparing thermochromic intelligent waterborne wood coatings with potential practical applications on Chinese fir wood surfaces, and also lays a foundation for its application in furniture engineering.

Waterborne acrylic-resin-filled urea–formaldehyde-based microcapsules with core–wall ratios of 0.42:1, 0.50:1, 0.58:1, 0.67:1, 0.75:1, 0.83:1 and 0.92:1 were prepared via in situ polymerization. Microcapsules were added into the primer to investigate the optical and mechanical properties of the coating on European linden. The results indicated that under the condition of the same core–wall ratio, chroma differences increased gradually with increasing concentration. The coating gloss decreased with increasing concentration. The hardness of 10.0–15.0% microcapsules increased more obviously, with the highest elongations at the break of the coating. At the 0.58:1 core–wall ratio and the 10.0% concentration, the coating adhesion was level 1 and the impact resistance was 10.0 kg cm. Microcapsule concentration did not affect the coating’s liquid resistance. The coating with 10.0% microcapsules added at a 0.58:1 core–wall ratio had a better self-healing property, a good stability and aging resistance. This paper lays a technical basis for the manufacturing and utilization of self-healing waterborne wood coatings.

Microcapsules with lac resin as the core material and urea-formaldehyde resin as the wall material were prepared by in situ polymerization, and then the lac resin microcapsules and fluorane microcapsules were added into a water-based primer or topcoat, respectively, to prepare water-based coatings with dual functions of thermochromic and self-repair. The effects of different methods of adding microcapsules on the optical properties, mechanical properties, self-repairing properties, and the aging resistance of water-based paint film were investigated, so as to prepare water-based paint film with the best discoloration and self-repairing functions. The results showed that the paint film with 10.0% fluorane microcapsules in the topcoat and 5.0% lac resin microcapsules in the primer had better comprehensive properties, and the paint film changed from yellow to colorless at 32 °C, with a color difference of 68.9, hardness of 3H, adhesion grade of 0, impact resistance of 13.0 kg∙cm, and elongation at break of 20.0%. The resistance of the paint film to NaCl, ethanol, and detergent was grade 2, with slight discontinuous marks, and the resistance to red ink was grade 3, with slight marks. The lac resin microcapsules have good aging resistance, which can enhance the aging resistance of the paint film with fluorane microcapsules. The gap width of the paint film was repaired by 2.1 µm, the self-repairing rate was 12.3%, and the paint film with lac resin microcapsules had a better crack inhibition effect. The results have provided a reference for multifunctional wood coatings.

This study chose organic thermochromic pigment powder and waterborne wood primer as the paint base, and Chinese fir board as the substrate to prepare thermochromic waterborne coatings with different concentrations of thermochromic pigment powder. The best concentration of thermochromic pigment powder for waterborne primer film on Chinese fir surface was explored. The experimental results showed that the color-changing property of the primer film was the best when the concentration of pigment powder in primer film was 5.0%–10%. There was a negative correlation between the gloss of the primer and the concentration of pigment powder. The gloss of the primer film was the highest when the concentration of pigment powder was 5%. When the concentration of pigment powder is 0%–20% and 25.0%–30%, the adhesion of the coating is grade 0 and grade 1, respectively. The resistance to the impact of primer film increased with the increase of concentration of pigment powder, but the resistance to the impact of primer film with 0%–30% of thermochromic pigment powder concentration was similar. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the higher the concentration of thermochromic pigment powder, the more particles and agglomeration. When the concentration of pigment powder was 5%, the distribution of particles was uniform and no agglomeration, and the microstructure of primer film was the best. Infrared spectroscopy showed that there was no difference in the composition of the paint film from 0% to 30%. The results showed that the comprehensive property of waterborne primer film on Chinese fir was better when the pigment concentration was 5%. Waterborne thermochromic primer film provides a potential application for the development of intelligent furniture in different temperature ranges.

This research focuses on revealing the double role of quercetin accompanied by silica in epoxidized natural rubber. A crosslinking ability with antioxidative properties exists and reveals the dependence of these functions on quercetin content. Here, the aging resistance of self-healable biocomposites was analyzed. The self-healing properties were presented in our previous work. The stabilizing effect of quercetin applied as a crosslinking agent has been studied in epoxidized natural rubber with a 50 mol% of epoxidation (ENR-50). Some of five -OH moiety groups existing in the quercetin structure are able to react with epoxy rings of ENR-50 and cure this elastomer, whereas other free hydroxyl groups can donate the hydrogen molecule to a radical molecule, stabilizing it. The aging resistance of prepared composites was estimated by mechanical tests conducted before and after different types of aging, as well as by differences in color and surface energy between aged and un-aged samples. Changes within the oxygen function, which occurred as a result of the aging process, were observed using FT-IR absorbance spectroscopy. Furthermore, the impact of quercetin content on composites’ thermal stability was investigated by thermogravimetry (TGA). According to the results, a proper dose of quercetin can act as a crosslinker and antioxidant in ENR-50 at the same time.

Urea formaldehyde was used as wall material and waterborne coatings as a core material to prepare microcapsules. So as to explore the influence of mass ratio of core to shell, reaction temperature and standing time on the performance of microcapsules, the orthogonal test of three factors and two levels was put into effect. The orthogonal experimental results showed the mass ratio of core to shell was the most important factor. With the increase of the mass ratio of core to shell, the output and clad ratio of microcapsules increased first and then decreased. The microcapsule with the mass ratio of core to shell of 0.67:1 had better appearance, output, and encapsulation performance. The optical properties of waterborne wood coating with the microcapsules of waterborne coating as core materials did not decrease significantly, while the hardness, impact resistance, and toughness were improved. At the same time, the microcapsules have a certain self-repairing effect on coating micro-cracks. Compared with the properties of waterborne coatings with other microcapsules, the coating with waterborne coating as core material has better comprehensive performance. The results provide a new research idea for the performance enhancement and self-healing of wood waterborne coating.
