Abstract
Nitrogen-rich carbon nitride (g-C3N5) nanosheets were modified with polydopamine (PDA) and then incorporated into an epoxy resin (EP) matrix to create a g-C3N5@PDA modified epoxy (GP/EP) coating. The phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and nano-indentation. The corrosion behavior was investigated by applying the coating to a steel plate and immersing it in a NaCl solution for 20 days using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization tests. Molecular dynamics simulations were also conducted to elucidate the corrosion mechanism. The results indicated that the hardness and elastic modulus of the epoxy coating increased from 0.02 GPa to 0.26 GPa and from 0.92 GPa to 2.90 GPa, respectively, after the modification of g-C3N5 nanosheets with PDA. Additionally, the corrosion current density of the GP/EP-coated steel plate was measured at 0.51 μA/cm2, which is approximately 17 times lower than that of the EP-coated plate when immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution.
期刊介绍:
The aim of this international journal is to analyse and publicise the progress and current state of knowledge in the field of organic coatings and related materials. The Editors and the Editorial Board members will solicit both review and research papers from academic and industrial scientists who are actively engaged in research and development or, in the case of review papers, have extensive experience in the subject to be reviewed. Unsolicited manuscripts will be accepted if they meet the journal''s requirements. The journal publishes papers dealing with such subjects as:
• Chemical, physical and technological properties of organic coatings and related materials
• Problems and methods of preparation, manufacture and application of these materials
• Performance, testing and analysis.
