The present invention belongs to the technical field of marine anti-fouling materials, and particularly relates to a self-polishing zwitterionic anti-fouling resin having a main chain degradability and the preparation therefor and the use thereof.
There are many kinds of living things in the ocean. They may gather, grow and reproduce on the surface of ships, oil platforms, cooling water pipes and other facilities to cause marine organism fouling. This brings a series of problems to shipping, marine engineering and marine aquaculture, such as increasing ship resistance and fuel consumption, shortening the service life of marine facilities, and clogging fishing nets. At present, the main anti-fouling control technologies include release anti-fouling coatings and low surface anti-fouling coatings, in which release anti-fouling coatings dominate. The release anti-fouling coatings are mainly composed of a polymer resin, an anti-fouling agent, a solvent, a filler, and the like. The anti-fouling agent is a biotoxin, which mainly prevents and inhibits the adsorption and growth of fouling organisms. As the base of the coating and the carrier of the anti-fouling agent, the polymer resin directly affects the performance of the coating and controls the release of the anti-fouling agent, which determines its anti-fouling property, environmental performance and service life.
Depending on the resin used, anti-fouling coatings can be classified into base insoluble coatings, controlled ablative coatings, and self-polishing coatings. Among them, self-polishing anti-fouling coatings are currently dominant coatings, including anti-fouling coatings based on copper acrylate polymer, zinc acrylate polymer and silane acrylate polymer. The basic principle is that the polymer becomes hydrophilic by hydrolysis of the side chain, and then dissolves under the scouring of seawater to realize the release of the anti-fouling agent. Since only the side chain in the structure itself can be hydrolyzed, it is difficult to regulate the synergy of hydrolysis and dissolution of the polymer, such that its self-polishing property depends on the movement of the ship and the scouring of the surrounding seawater, difficult to meet the static anti-fouling requirements. Besides, the existing self-polishing polymer system itself does not have an anti-fouling function, and can only rely on the release of the anti-fouling agent to inhibit fouling organisms. However, the existing anti-fouling agent is effective on poisoning fouling organisms, but ineffective on preventing adhesion of biomacromolecules such as proteins and polysaccharides at the beginning of the fouling process.
The introduction of zwitterions in the self-polishing system will effectively enhance the inhibition of initial biofilm formation. However, since the zwitterionic polymer is a polyelectrolyte, it has defects such as strong hydrophilicity, incompatibility with coating resin, poor mechanical properties and poor construction performance. More importantly, the existing self-polishing resin is a vinyl polymer that cannot degrade under natural conditions and may cause “plastic waste pollution” in the ocean. Therefore, it is expected to prepare a long-lasting, multifunctional synergistic and environmentally friendly anti-fouling coating resin by effectively overcoming the defects of zwitterionic polymers while imparting biodegradation and multifunctional synergistic anti-fouling to traditional self-polishing resins.
In order to overcome the defects of having single anti-fouling mechanism and being unable to biodegrade of the existing self-polishing resin for marine anti-fouling coatings, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a self-polishing zwitterionic anti-fouling resin having a main chain degradability.

(2) The resin not only overcomes the disadvantages of a zwitterionic material, i.e., poor mechanical properties and poor solubility in an organic solvent, but can also effectively control the long-term stable release of an anti-fouling agent by combining the advantages of traditional self-polishing resins, so as to achieve a synergistic anti-fouling effect of the anti-fouling agent and an anti-protein.
(3) The resin, biodegradable in the marine environment, is an environmentally friendly material.
