The present study is focusing on evaluating theoretically and experimentally stability and type of interactions between the epoxy resin bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA)‐polyaminoamide anticorrosive coating and high strength low alloy steel surface 15CDV6. The coated steel samples were subjected to a harsh environment of an electrolyte solution of 3 wt % NaCl to simulate the corrosive marine environment. The performance of the epoxy coating was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The EIS results revealed the occurrence of some deterioration in the film after subjecting it to a harsh environment for 4392 h, because the impedance of the coating dropped by about 1.4 kΩ.cm2. Surface morphological study of metallic specimens before and after exposing to the simulated marine environment (3 wt % NaCl) was carried out using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and optical microscope (OM) methods. The interactions between DGEBA‐polyaminoamide and the metallic surface were further carried out using computation modeling such as density functional theory (DFT)‐based quantum chemical calculations, Monte Carlo (MC), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Results showed that DGEBA‐polyaminoamide possesses a strong tendency to adhere and inhibits the corrosive dissolution of 15CDV6 steel surface in the stimulated marine environment. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Strongly bonded organic films with amino groups are obtained on gold, copper, and silicon surfaces by reduction of 2,6-dimethyl benzenediazonium in acetonitrile (ACN). The sterically hindered 2,6-dimethylphenyl radical is unable to attach to the surface, but it abstracts an hydrogen atom from ACN to give the cyanomethyl radical (·CH2CN) that reacts with the surface. A spontaneous reaction is also possible on copper. The film is characterized by IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, ellipsometry, water contact angles, and cyclic voltammetry. A mechanism is elaborated that accounts for the formation, grafting of the cyanomethyl radical, and finally formation of amino multilayers.
