Developing polydopamine modified molybdenum disulfide/epoxy resin powder coatings with enhanced anticorrosion performance and wear resistance on magnesium lithium alloys

Epoxy resin powder coating has been successfully applied on the corrosion protection of magnesium lithium alloys.However,poor wear resistance and microcracks formed during the solidification have limited it extensive application.There are limited approaches to exploit such anti-corrosion and mechanical properties of magnesium lithium alloys.Herein,the epoxy resin powder coating with polydopamine modified molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating with 0,0.1,0.2,0.5,1.0 wt.%loading)was well prepared by melt extrusion to investigate its anticorrosion performance and wear resistance.The results revealed that the addition of MoS_(2)@PDA enhanced the adhesion strength between coatings and alloys,wear resistance and corrosion protection of the powder coatings.Among them,the optimum was obtained by 0.2 wt.%MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating which could be attributed to well dispersion and efficient adhesion with coating matrix.To conclude,MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating is meaningfully beneficial for the anticorrosive and wear performance improvement of magnesium lithium alloys.

Fabrication of superhydrophobic reduced-graphene oxide/nickel coating with mechanical durability,self-cleaning and anticorrosion performance

There is a great challenge to fabricate superhydrophobic coating with excellent mechanical durability and corrosion resistance.Inspired by the pinecone-shaped structure,a novel reduced-graphene oxide(rGO)/Ni composite coating with pinecone-like micro/nanostructures was fabricated successfully on a stainless steel substrate using a simple electrodeposition method combining Ni pre-deposition and an elevated current assistant approach.The results show that the coating is of self-cleaning and superhydrophicity with a water contact angle(CA)of 162.7°±0.8°and a sliding angle(SA)of 2.5°±1.0°.Importantly,the coating still maintains the excellent self-cleaning and superhydrophicity,water CA of 155.8°±1.2°and SA of 5.9°±1.2°,even after 100-cycle mechanical abrasion.Meanwhile,the coating also exhibits good anticorrosion performance in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution,with 99.98%inhibition efficiency.The simple fabrication method may provide a cost-effective way to prepare mechanically durable,anticorrosive,self-cleaning and superhydrophobic coatings on metal substrates.

Developing single-atom catalyst-based epoxy coating with active nanocatalytic anticorrosion performance in oxygen environment

The stimuli-responsive anticorrosion coatings have drawn great attention as a prospective corrosion protection approach due to their smart self-repairing properties.In contrast to passive protection mechanism based on post-corrosion microenvironmental changes,a unique active protection strategy based on nanocatalytic oxygen depletion is proposed in this work to inhibit the occurrence of corrosion.Porous FeeNeC catalysts with outstanding oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity(half-wave potential of 0.89 V)is firstly synthesized through pre-coordination with organosilane precursor to obtain homogeneously distributed active sites.When this catalyst is introduced into the coating matrix,uniformly distributed FeeNeC not only compensates the defects but plays a crucial role in adsorption and consumption of diffused oxygen in the coating.Under this dual action,the penetration of corrosive medium,especially oxygen,through coating to metal substrate is greatly suppressed,resulting in effective corrosion inhibition and a significant increase in corrosion resistance of the composite coating compared to pure epoxy coating.This work provides a new perspective and the starting point for the design of high-performance smart coating with active anticorrosion properties.

Smart coating for corrosion protection of metal materials(steel,magnesium,aluminum and their alloys)has drawn great attention because of their capacity to prevent crack propagation in the protective coating by releasing functional molecules(healing agents or corrosion inhibitors)on demand from delivery vehicle,that is,micro/nanocontainer made up of a shell and core material or a coating layer,in a controllable manner.Herein,we summarize the recent achievements during the last 10 years in the field of the micro/nanocontainer with different types of stimuli-responsive properties,i.e.,pH,electrochemical potential,redox,aggressive corrosive ions,heat,light,magnetic field,and mechanical impact,for smart anticorrosion coating.The state-of-the-art design and fabrication of micro/nanocontainer are emphasized with detailed examples.

Competitive Adsorption of Anticorrosion and Antiwear Additives

Simulated adsorptive experiments using the axletree and lubricating oil containing anticorrosion additive were conducted,and the UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was measured.Through the UV spectral measurements the difference in UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was identified,the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film between lubricating oil and bearing was calculated using the Lambert-Bell principle to verify the adsorption of corrosion inhibitor on the surface of friction pairs.Adsorption experiments on lubricating oil containing both antiwear and anticorrosion additives were carried out and the UV absorbance of lubricating oil samples before and after the experiments was measured to determine the difference in the UV absorbance among lubricating oil samples with the same mass fraction of anticorrosion additive and different mass fractions of antiwear additive.By measuring the ultraviolet spectral absorbance of lubricating oil samples and calculating the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film it was possible to determine the influence of antiwear additive on the quantity of adsorbed anticorrosion additive on the surface of friction pairs and verify the competitive adsorption relationship between the antiwear additive and the anticorrosion additive.

Anticorrosion performance of the coating/metal system by electrochemical impedance spectra

In order to investigate the anticorrosion performance of the organic coating/metal system, electrochemical impedance spectra （EIS） were measured in the 3.5wt% NaCl solution, the chemical component and the formation of corrosion products scale were analyzed by laser Raman microspectroscopy, and the pattern of the organic coating/metal system was observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The characteristics and the delamination process of the organic coating/metal system were investigated systematically, and the emphases were on the transportation of the corrosive medium and the changes of the coating/metal interface. The results show that the impedance decreases at the initial immersion, then increases at the middle-immersion, and again decreases at last, which is related to the corrosion products scale. The concentration of Cl in the coating, which destroys the corrosion products scale, increases with the immersion time.

Anticorrosion of WO₃-Modified TiO₂Thin Film Prepared by Peroxo Sol-Gel Method

The aim of this study was to develop a method to prepare WO3-TiO2 film which has high anticorrosion property when it was coated on type 304 stainless steel. A series of WO3-modified TiO2 sols were synthesized by peroxo-sol gel method using TiCl4 and Na2WO4 as the starting materials. TiCl4 was converted to Ti(OH)4 gel. H2O2 and Na2WO4 were added in Ti(OH)4 solution and heated at 95°C. The WO3-TiO2 sol was transparent, in neutral (pH^7) solution, stable suspension without surfactant, nano-crystallite and no annealing is needed after coating, and very stable for 2 years in stock. WO3-TiO2 sol was formed with anatase crystalline structure. These sols were characterized by XRD, TEM, and XPS. The sol was used to coat on stainless steel 304 by dip-coating. The WO3-TiO2 was anatase in structure as characterized by X-ray diffraction. There were no WO3 XRD peaks in the WO3-TiO2 sols, indicating that WO3 particles were very small, possibly incorporating into TiO2 structure, providing the amount of WO3 was very small. The TiO2 particles were rhombus shape. WO3-TiO2 had smaller size area than pure TiO2. The SEM results showed that the film coated on the glass substrate was very uniform. All films were nonporous and dense films. Its hardness reached 2 H after drying at 100°C, and reached 5 H after annealing at 400°C. The WO3-TiO2 film coated on 304 stainless steel had better anticorrosion capability than the unmodified TiO2 film under UV light illumination. The optimum weight ratio of TiO2: WO3 was 100:4.

Effect of low curing temperature on the anticorrosion performance of composite coatings reinforced with modified Fe_(3)O_(4)

In this manuscript,the neat epoxy(EP)and functionalized Fe_(3)O_(4)(G-Fe_(3)O_(4))reinforced epoxy(G-Fe_(3)O_(4)/EP)coatings were cured under different temperatures,and the effect of the low curing temperature on the anticorrosion performance was investigated.The experimental results show that the epoxy-amine ring-open addition reaction mainly exists in the curing process,and the activation energies of the reaction for the two coatings are 55.84 and 53.29 kJ/mol,respectively.For the coatings cured at the low temperature,almost no pores could be detected on the fracture surface,but the presentence of the rough regions reflects the poor curing state.As compared with the samples cured at the high temperature,the anticorrosion performance of the coatings with the low curing temperature is worse,and the decrease rate of the anticorrosion performance is slower,because of the poor curing state and low adhesion obtained at the low temperature.

In Situ Liquid Cell Transmission Electron Microscopy Observations of Growth and Anticorrosion Behaviors of AuCl3 Shell on Au Nanobipyramids

Comprehensive Summary Designing new materials and architectures to maintain activity and stability requires a better understanding on the anticorrosion dynamics of nanoparticles.Under-coordinated atoms on the surface of nanoparticles can be protected by deposited shells.Real-time observation on how protective shells grow and play a role is challenging but worthwhile.Here,protective effects of AuCl_(3) shells on Au nanobipyramids(NBPs)are studied in HAuCl_(4) aqueous solutions by in-situ liquid cell transmission electron microscopy(LCTEM).This study is the first to observe the formation of Au-AuCl_(3) core-shell nanostructure and the corresponding anticorrosion behaviors of AuCl_(3) deposited shell.The presence of CTAB can substantially influence the growth mode and structure of AuCl_(3) shell,by a direct or indirect way,intervene the dissolution of Au NBP.These growth or dissolution kinetics here revealed at the nanoscale provide insights towards engineering of the surface anticorrosion to pursue Au nanoparticles with improved stability in acidic environment.

Doublely-doped Mg-Al-Ce-V_(2)O_(7)^(4-)LDH composite film on magnesium alloy AZ31 for anticorrosion

A doublely-doped layered double hydroxide(LDH)film was produced on an anodized magnesium alloy AZ31.The Ce-doped Mg-Al LDH film was prepared by in-situ hydrothermal treatment method,and the intercalation of vanadate was realized by ion-exchange reaction.The structure,morphology and composition of as-prepared LDH film were investigated by X-ray diffractometer,field-emission scanning electronic microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry.Results indicated that a uniform and compact LDH film was formed and the intercalation of Ce^(3+)and vanadate would change the crystal structure of LDHs.The results of the potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectra,hydrogen evolution and corrosion weight loss tests showed the Ce^(3+)and vanadate anions significantly improve the impedance of LDH film,and the active double-doped LDH film could effectively protect the magnesium substrate from corrosion.

Anticorrosion behavior of conversion coatings obtained from unbuffered cerium salts solutions on AA6061-T6

The anticorrosive properties of cerium based conversion coatings deposited on AA6061-T6 alloy by immersion in tmbuffercd cerium chloride and cerium nitrate solutions in the presence of hydrogen peroxide were investigated and characterized by potentiodynamic po- larization （PDP） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） in 0.5 mol/L NaCl aqueous solution. The microstructure and chemical composition of the protective films were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that the best corrosion protection was afforded by the samples treated during 600 s in cerium chloride solution at pH values ~5.5-4, showing higher amounts of cerium and polarization resistance values greater than 10 f~ m2. Moreover, an ennoblement of the corro- sion potential and decreasing of the cathodic and anodic currents were obtained compared with the cerium nitrate solutions application. This behavior was attributed to the influence of the deposition parameters such as type of the salt anion, i.e., chelating effect and chaotropic characteristics, pH fluctuations in the conversion solution and deposition time.

Corrosion protection of the hull steel by the conventional epoxy paint containing a small amount of commercial poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）/poly（styrene sulfonate） （PEDOT/PSS）, which is one of the most popular and successful inherently conducting polymers as the corrosion inhibitor was studied. The corrosion behavior of the samples was investigated in seawater by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and open circuit potential. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the surface morphology of the samples after corrosion. It was found that adding a small amount of PEDOT/PSS to the epoxy resin can significantly improve its corrosion protection.

Anticorrosion epoxy coatings from Al and Zn based pigments were synthesized by adjusting their volume ratios, aiming at their increasing anticorrosion performances. The anticorrosion properties were examined via elec- trochemical impedance spectroscopy, Tafel polarization curve analysis and salt spray test. The coating morphologies before and after the salt spray tests were studied via scanning electron microscopy（SEM）. The elemental and chemical compositions of the corroded surfaces of the coatings were analyzed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. The results indicate that the coating composed of Al/Zn at 10：1（volume ratio） displays the maximum anticorrosion performances, which are superior to those of pristine Al or Zn based pigment.

Graphene-induced enhanced anticorrosion performance of waterborne epoxy resin coating

In this work,waterborne epoxy resin E44 and graphene were employed as the matrix and nanofiller,respectively,to construct composite coatings with enhanced anticorrosion performance.XRD pattern and TEM observation indicated that the obtained graphene had a stacked structure of few-layer graphitic sheets with numbers of wrinkles.SEM observations revealed that no defects or microcracks existed on the surface of graphene/epoxy coatings and the internal micropores and microcracks were filled by graphene.FTIR spectra displayed that all the characteristic absorption peaks were attributed to the epoxy resin cured with polyamide.The Tafel polarization curves showed that,as the graphene addition amount increased,the corrosive potential increased and the corrosive current decreased.ESI results proved that the addition of graphene into epoxy coatings could not only increase the impedance arc in Nyquist plots,but also increase the impedance modulus at low frequency.Finally,the enhanced anticorrosion mechanism was proposed and discussed.

Bio-inspired Superhydrophobic Self-healing Surfaces with Synergistic Anticorrosion Performance

The past decade has witnessed significant efforts in addressing the global metallic corrosion challenge,with a focus on avoiding or mitigating huge economic losses incurred by corrosion and on the development of protective coatings on metals.Herein,a synergistic anticorrosion coating with both superhydrophobicity and self-healing properties was reported,through a facile replica molding method by mixing the polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)matrix with nano-sized SiO2 particles and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole(MBT)loaded halloysites(HNTs).The surface exhibits robust self-cleaning behavior under harsh conditions and high liquid repellence to withstand the osmosis of corrosive ions.The self-healing performance of the coating,due to the introduction of MBT-loaded HNTs,enhances the anticorrosion capability,which is still valid once the protective layer is damaged.Potentiodynamic polarization(PDP)and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS)measurements demonstrate that the synergetic effects in anticorrosion performances significantly enhance the long-term corrosion protection of metals.Hence,this type of dual-action coating may find unique applications in metal corrosion resistance where both super-repellency and self-healing properties are desired.

Soluble, Antibaterial, and Anticorrosion Studies of Sulfonated Polystyrene/Polyaniline/Silver Nanocomposites Prepared with the Sulfonated Polystyrene Template

In this work, multifunctional sulfonated polystyrene/polyaniline/silver （SPS/PANI/Ag） nanocomposites are prepared through using sulfonated polystyrene （SPS） spheres as templates and utilizing polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP） as reducing agent and stabilizing agent. Our method is an environmentally friendly method because no toxic rea- gents are added during the preparation process. Fourier transform infrared spectrum （FTIR）, field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM）, and energy disperse spectroscopy （EDX） results confirmed the formation of PS spheres, SPS spheres, SPS/PANI nanocomposites, and SPS/PANI/Ag nanocomposites. Powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns indicate that the obtained Ag nanoparticles are crystalline. Solubilities measurements show that SPS/PANI/Ag nanocomposites have improved solubilities when compared to pure PANI in common organic sol- vents and deionized water. Antibacterial studies show that SPS/PANI/Ag nanocomposites can greatly inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Anticorrosion studies show that the incorporation of SPS/PANI/Ag nanocomposites in waterborne alkyd resin can greatly promote＇the anticorrosive efficiency of water- borne alkyd resin.

Synthesis of Polyurethane/Poly(urea-formaldehyde) Double-shelled Microcapsules for Self-healing Anticorrosion Coatings

One-component, catalyst-free self-healing coatings with double-shelled polymer microcapsules have drawn considerable attention due to wide applications. In this work, the synthesis parameters of double-shelled polymer microcapsules and the mechanism of the self-healing process were systematically investigated. Apart from the chemical structure of the microcapsule shell, the shell thickness, the microcapsule size,and the core fraction could affect the self-healing anticorrosion properties. The synthesis parameters were further optimized in terms of the agitation rate, p H, weight ratio of core to shell, and temperature. Under these conditions, the microcapsule shell consisting of a rough surface formed by poly(urea-formaldehyde) and a smooth inner wall by polyurethane was prepared. The size of the microcapsules and core fraction were calculated to be approximately 30 μm and 75%, respectively. The self-healing anticorrosion coating incorporating as-synthesized microcapsules exhibited corrosion resistance in artificially scratched areas, which was further characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.
