New hybrid organic-inorganic coatings have been developed by reacting a mixture of 3glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) and tetraorthosilicate (TEOS) with 2-4% aminoethylaminopropyl-methylsiloxane dimethylsiloxane (APDMS) copolymer as a modifier. The sol-gel polymerisation of the inorganic components was achieved by base catalysation using NaOH. The resultant base coating (CGA) was further modified using two different corrosion inhibitors: Molywhite 101-ED and Hfucophos Zapp yielding coatings (CGA-M) and (CGA-Z) respectively. The corrosion resistant efficiency of these coatings for the protection of mild steel sheets in 3?5%NaCl electrolyte was assessed using AC and DC electrochemical methods, notably, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and DC polarisation scans. Based on the results, the order of corrosion protection of the above coatings was in the order: CGA-M..CGA-Z.CGA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
