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 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.

In this study, the effect of glass fiber powder on the properties of waterborne coatings with thermochromic ink was investigated, using Chinese fir board as the base material and temperature-sensitive thermochromic waterborne coatings with thermochromic ink as the paint base. The concentration of glass fiber powder was determined when the microstructure, optical properties, mechanical properties, liquid resistance, and heat preservation effect were the best. The results showed that the paint film with glass fiber powder concentration of 1.0% to 7.0% had better discoloration performance. With an increase of the glass fiber powder concentration, the gloss of the paint film decreased gradually, and when the concentration of glass fiber powder was 0% to 5.0%, the gloss of the paint film was better. The concentration of glass fiber powder had no effect on the adhesion, impact resistance, and liquid resistance. In the first 2.5 min, the temperature value of the waterborne coating with 3.0% glass fiber powder was higher than that without glass fiber powder, which has a certain heat preservation effect. When the glass fiber powder content was 3.0%, the microstructure of paint film was the best. The composition of paint film with different glass fiber powder concentrations was not different and the discoloration performance of paint film with heat preservation effect was not affected by time. The analysis showed that the waterborne coating with 3.0% glass fiber powder had the best comprehensive performance. This work provides a technical reference for the industrialization of heat preservation and thermochromic coating on wood.

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 effect of adding wheat straw powder after lignin removal (WSPALR) and high-temperature calcined WSPALR on the hardness, adhesion, and resistance to impact, color difference, and mold resistance of waterborne coatings was studied. The results showed that the hardness was the highest of 6H when the concentration of WSPALR was 1.0%–2.0%. WSPALR and high-temperature calcined WSPALR had little effect on the adhesion and impact resistance of waterborne coatings, and the resistance to impact was about 10.0 kg cm. When both the concentration of WSPALR and high-temperature calcined WSPALR were 0.5%, the waterborne coating had the best adhesion of Level 1. The addition of high-temperature calcined WSPALR maintained the color difference of the original coatings. A high WSPALR concentration showed better mold resistance than a low concentration WSPALR, and the inhibition effect of high-temperature calcined WSPALR on Trichoderma was better than that of WSPALR. When the concentration of WSPALR calcined at a high temperature was 0.5%, it showed a better hardness of 4H, Level 1 adhesion, 10.0 kg cm resistance to impact, and 1.1 color difference of the waterborne coating. This work has important application value for mold resistance of 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.

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.

The microcapsules were prepared by using melamine-formaldehyde resin as the wall material and aloin as the core material. The aloin was dissolved in ethanol and water to prepare microcapsules. The aloin powder, the aloin microcapsules prepared with ethanol as the solvent, and the aloin microcapsules prepared with water as the solvent were, respectively, added to the waterborne coating with different contents and coated on the surface of Tilia europaea. The effects of different modifiers and contents on the coating’s optical properties, mechanical properties, and antibacterial properties were explored. The results showed that the aloin microcapsules prepared with ethanol as the solvent had good morphology and comprehensive properties. When the content was 7.0%, the color difference of the waterborne coating was small, the adhesion was grade 3, the impact resistance was 12 kg·cm, and the antibacterial rate was 87.8%. In terms of antibacterial properties, the uncoated aloin powder, the coated aloin microcapsules prepared with ethanol as the solvent, and the aloin microcapsules prepared with water all have certain antibacterial properties and the antibacterial rates reached 99.2%, 97.3%, and 67.3%, respectively. This study provides a certain reference for developing antibacterial wood furniture coatings.

The modification experiment of waterborne coating was carried out by adding microcapsules. The wall material of the microcapsule was urea-formaldehyde resin and the core material of the microcapsule was epoxy resin. Core material can improve the toughness of the coating and prevent the cracking of the coating. The influences of different contents of microcapsules and the order of adding microcapsules in the coating process on the properties of gloss, color difference and toughness were studied. The results showed that the gloss of the waterborne coating decreased with the increase of microcapsule content. The color difference of coating increased first and then decreased, and when the microcapsule content was 8.0%, the color difference was the largest. The toughness of the coatings also increased first and then decreased. When the content of the microcapsule was 10.0%, the toughness of the coating was significantly enhanced. When the microcapsules with a content of 10.0% were added to the waterborne coating, under the same process, the coating gloss of microcapsules added to the primer was relatively high, and the coating gloss was the highest when the coating process was three-layer primer and two-layer topcoat. The microcapsule had little effect on the color difference of coating in different coating processes. When the coating process was three-layer primer and three-layer topcoat, the coating toughness was the best when microcapsules were added to the topcoats. This study provides a basis for industrial application of waterborne coatings to enhance their toughness.

Self-repairing microcapsules prepared with melamine formaldehyde (MF) resin as wall material and shellac and waterborne coating as core material were added to waterborne coating to prepare a self-repairing coating. In order to explore the effect of the coating process on the performance of the waterborne coating on the basswood surface with microcapsules, the number of coating layers of primer and finish and the addition mode of the microcapsules were tested as influencing factors. The effects of different coating processes on the optical, mechanical, and liquid resistance of the basswood surface coating were investigated. The results showed that different coating processes had little effect on the color difference of the coating. When the coating process was two layers of primer and three layers of finish, and microcapsules were added to the finish, the minimum gloss of the basswood surface coating at 60° incident angle was 10.2%, and the best mechanical properties, liquid resistance, and comprehensive properties were achieved. Finally, the aging resistance and self-healing performance of the waterborne coating on the basswood surface prepared by this coating process were explored. The results showed that the waterborne coating had a certain repair effect on scratch damage. This paper lays a theoretical foundation for the practical application of self-healing microcapsules in wood-surface waterborne coatings.
