Enhancement of Anticorrosive Performance of Cardanol Based Polyurethane Coatings by Incorporating Magnetic Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles

Abstract

The present investigation demonstrates renewable cardanol-based polyol for the formulation of nanocomposite polyurethane (PU) coatings. The functional and structural features of cardanol polyol and nanoparticles were studied using FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopic techniques. The magnetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (MHAPs) were dispersed 1–5% in PU formulations to develop nanocomposite anticorrosive coatings. An increase in the strength of MHAP increased the anticorrosive performance as examined by immersion and electrochemical methods. The nanocomposite PU coatings showed good coating properties, viz., gloss, pencil hardness, flexibility, cross-cut adhesion, and chemical resistance. Additionally, the coatings were also studied for surface morphology, wetting, and thermal properties by scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The hydrophobic nature of PU coatings increased by the addition of MHAP, and an optimum result (105°) was observed in 3% loading. The developed coatings revealed its hydrophobic nature with excellent anticorrosive performance.

Assessment of Bio-Based Polyurethanes: Perspective on Applications and Bio-Degradation

“…Meta substituted phenolic compounds identified in CNSL, a reddish-brown phenolic lipid, include 2-methyl cardol, cardol, cardinal, and anacardic acid. High vacuum distillation of CNSL yielded cardanol, a crucial precursor for a variety of oligomers and polymers [62,63]. For polymer curing, the meta-position of an unsaturated alkyl chain (C 15 H 31-2n , n = 0-3) can be used as an autoxidizable site [64].…”

Sustainable smart anti-corrosion coating materials derived from vegetable oil derivatives: a review

“…3.6% of total GDP (total gross domestic product) is being spent on the maintenance of structural substrates and instruments caused by distruction due to corrosion. 62,63 Therefore, an intelligent coating able to repair itself and protect the assets from corrosion and improve durability is highly desirable. The whole idea of self-healing coating was inspired by nature, given how natural healing of wounds and cuts occur in living species.…”
