Developing high-performance lignin anti-corrosive waterborne epoxy (WEP) coatings is conducive to the advancement of environmentally friendly coatings and the value-added utilization of lignin. In this work, a functionalized biomass waterborne epoxy composite coating is prepared using quaternized sodium lignosulfonate (QLS) as a functional nanofiller for mild carbon steel protection. The results showed that QLS has excellent dispersion and interface compatibility within WEP, and its abundant phenolic hydroxyl, sulfonate, quaternary ammonium groups, and nanoparticle structure endowed the coating with excellent corrosion inhibition and superior barrier properties. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of 100 mg L QLS in carbon steel immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution reached 95.76%. Furthermore, the coating maintained an impedance modulus of 2.29 × 10 Ω cm (|Z|) after being immersed for 51 days in the high-salt system. In addition, QLS imparted UV-blocking properties and thermal-oxygen aging resistance to the coating, as evidenced by a |Z| of 1.04 × 10 Ω cm after seven days of UV aging while still maintaining a similar magnitude as before aging. The green lignin/WEP functional coatings effectively withstand the challenging outdoor environment characterized by high salt concentration and intense UV radiation, thereby demonstrating promising prospects for application in metal protection.

This study utilizes discarded tree leaves as a substrate to synthesize biomass porous carbon nanosheets (PCNS) through high-temperature carbonization and pore-forming treatment, followed by functional modification using carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ). The functionalized PCNS fillers were incorporated into water-based epoxy (WEP) coatings to enhance corrosion resistance. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) testing showed that after 60 days, WEP/PCNS@CMCS@8-HQ exhibited a low-frequency impedance of 1.

The preparation of environmentally friendly and efficient waterborne polyurethane sizing agents for carbon fiber (CF) is difficult, especially to avoid the use of isocyanates. Herein, ellagic acid and CO were used to prepare a five-membered cyclic carbonate compound (EARBO). The polymerization between EARBO and diamines enabled the preparation of highly efficient and green aqueous non-isocyanate polyurethane (WNIPU) sizing agents.

In research aimed at improving the brittleness of WER (waterborne epoxy)-modified emulsified asphalt, commonly encountered issues are that the low-temperature performance of this type of asphalt becomes insufficient and the long curing time leads to low early strength. Matrix-emulsified asphalt was modified with WPU (waterborne polyurethane), WER, and DMP-30 (accelerator). Firstly, the performance changes of modified emulsified asphalt at different single-factor dosages were explored through conventional performance tests and assessments of its adhesion, tensile properties, and curing time.

Water-based coating has gained much attention globally due to environmental issues. This work aims to develop a waterborne epoxy coating incorporated with modified natural rubber (NR) latex for improved performance. For this purpose, the NR latex was modified into three types of low molecular weight epoxidized natural rubber (LENR) latex.

This work studies the use of epoxy and polyurethane formulations as binders for the aqueous processing of activated carbon (AC) electrodes used as positive and negative electrodes in Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitors (EDLCs). The use of amine and carbodiimide as crosslinkers is also evaluated. The mechanical properties of those different binders have been investigated, looking towards aqueous processable and flexible electrodes.
