Abstract
Waterborne polyurethane/acrylate (WPUA) dispersion was synthesized via a prepolymer self-emulsifying method, using bisphenol-A-glycidyl dimethacrylate (Bis-GMA) as a chain extender and grafting agent for styrene and butyl acrylate monomers. The degradation of WPUA coatings on mild steel in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and open circuit potential measurements. The water uptake estimated from the Brasher-Kingsbury relation, the intersection of Bode plots (IBP number), and electrical equivalent circuits (ECC) has been analyzed during the degradation process. Particle size (DLS) and morphological (TEM) analyses revealed that the WPUA dispersion exhibited nanometric particle sizes with a core-shell structure. The thermal (TGA/DTG) properties and cross-cut adhesion of the WPUA coatings were greatly enhanced compared to the blank WPU.
Contrary to typical expectations, the impedance modulus in the low-frequency range (lZ0.01Hzl) did not decrease with immersion time for all samples; this effect is attributed to the polymer network characteristics. The degradation mechanisms of the WPUA coatings involve three steps: an initial coating failure as a consequence of the entry of water; in the second step, water absorption continues until a critical level is reached. During this stage, no significant changes in coating resistance were detected. Finally, sudden changes in the monitored parameters indicate the loss of the protective properties.
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.
