Abstract
We explored the anti-corrosion performance of epoxy coatings with Nafion in protonated form (HNE) and sodiated form (NaNE) and compared their characteristics with epoxy-only coating. The successful conversion of the H-Nafion to Na-Nafion was observed by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, where the shift at the peak 1060 cm−1 and disappearance of the peak at 969 cm−1 were observed after the sodiating process. Mild steel substrates were coated with HNE and NaNE by spray gun and were immersed in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution for 2, 15, and 20 days. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy showed corrosion products due to uniform corrosion were observed in one of the HNE samples, but not in any of the NaNE samples. However, the lack of corrosion products arising from chloride attacks on the HNE and NaNE samples indicated their ability to repel chloride ions. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses showed that the NaNE and HNE samples with 2 wt% of Na-Nafion and H-Nafion, respectively, produced the highest coating protection efficiency of 99.9 %. Finally, we proposed a mechanism for the corrosion protection of the HNE and NaNE coatings against uniform corrosion and chloride ion penetration.
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.
