Investigation of the Corrosion-Sensing Behavior of an Acrylic-Based Coating System

چکیده
Paint systems containing color-change or fluorescing compounds were found to be sensitive to underlying corrosion processes by reacting to the pH increase associated with the cathodic reaction that accompanies corrosion. The sensitivity of acrylic-based coating systems for detection of cathodic reactions associated with corrosion was determined by applying constant cathodic current and measuring the charge at which color change or fluorescence was detected. Visual observation of coated samples with the unaided eye can detect changes resulting from a charge corresponding to a hemispherical pit with depth on the order of 10 μm. The characteristics of modified acrylic coating systems were studied by titration tests. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy was also performed to test the influence of the indicating compound addition on the coating corrosion protectiveness. The time for color change was determined to be controlled by the sensitivity of the coating to pH increase, and not by the coating protectiveness.

Different amounts of nanoclay were incorporated into the acrylic resin matrix at 0, 1, 3, and 5 wt.% loadings. The coatings were applied on low carbon steel plates. Optical microscopy, sedimentation test, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction were employed to investigate the dispersion of nanoclay in matrix. The corrosion resistance of coatings was evaluated by electrochemical...

In this work, polypyrrole/CeO2 nanocomposite (NC) was synthesized in the presence of methylorange as a reactive self-degraded soft template. The field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) images indicate that the CeO2 NPs have a nucleus effect and cause a homogenous PPycore–shell type morphology with an encapsulation of the CeO2 core by the PPy shell. The effect ofNC on acrylic waterbor...

The idea of smart inhibitors is based on the principle that an inhibitor is used where needed. This will reduce the use of inhibitors and protect materials in hostile environments. On the other hand, direct addition of the inhibitor within the coating can be harmful, resulting in the loss of inhibitors ability, deterioration in the coating or both of them. An appropriate method for solving thes...
