Preparation and corrosion resistance of nanostructured PVC/ZnO–polyaniline hybrid coating

Advanced anti corrosive properties of poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine)/flyash composite coatings

“…This clearly shows that presence of poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine)/flyash composite in epoxy coatings improves the anodic controlled corrosion reaction. Literature shows that PANI/poly-o-toluidine has a tendency to passivate metal by providing anodic protection to the underlying metal [25,44,45]. It can be interpreted from the measured values of i corr and β a that the copolymer composite is able to passivate the defect to some extent.…”

Nanostructured ZnO Materials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications

“…More specific studies were devoted in evaluating the enhancement in surface properties obtained by the addition of ZnO nanoparticles, e.g., scratch resistance (Chakraborty et al in PMMA [172] and Bermúdez et al in polycarbonate [173]), corrosion (Olad et al in PVC [174] and Dhoke [175] et al in waterborne resins [175]), and gas barrier [176]. Other applications were found in nanocomposites for wood protection [177][178][179] and phase-changing materials (PCM) [180].…”

Chapter 9. Nano dimensional ZnO: new chemical insights from an old material

“…Devi and coworkers devised an amperometric xanthine biosensor based on polypyrrole/ZnO nanoparticles composite film 111 and Olad and Nosrati prepared a nanostructured PVC/ZnO-polyaniline hybrid coating with enhanced corrosion resistance. 115 Biofunctionalization is important, and very much used, surface modification procedure. Long term stability and ability for molecular recognition is a feature necessary for using nanostructures as active components in biosensing devices and as bioimaging probes.…”
