The polyurethane coatings containing phenylsilane groups (PU-S) were prepared by using the hydrolyzed triethoxyphenylsilane (TEPS). The synthesized PU-S coatings were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Mechanical properties and contact angle of PU-S coatings with different TEPS concentrations (1 %, 5 % and 10 %) were also studied. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and salt spray test were carried out to evaluate corrosion resistance and the macroscopic failures of the coatings. The results show that the presence of TEPS in polyme matrix improved mechanical properties and corrosion protection performance of polyurethane coating.
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.
