Abstract:In order to investigate the effect of surfactants on the nanocomposite electrodeposition process, the effects of common anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants on electrodepositing process of WO3-Cu nanocomposite coatings were studied. The surface morphologies and composition of the WO3-Cu coating obtained in the electrodepositing with surfactants addition were analyzed by SEM and energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS ). Contact angle measurement, self-cleaning property test, friction , wear test and photocatalysis test were taken to value the wetting, self-cleaning properties, wear resistance and photocatalytic properties of the WO3-Cu coatings, respectively. The results showed that different surfactants had a great influence on the surface morphology and WO3 contents of WO3-Cu coatings. In the composite electrodeposition using a combination of cationic and non-ionic surfactants, the content of WO3 in WO3-Cu coatings could reach maximum value of 25.9% . After the fluorination modification,the contact angle of the WO3-Cu coating surfaces was about 155°. Compared to the pure Cu,the composite coatings had significantly self-cleaning properties,wear resistance and photocatalytic properties.
