Abstract:This work deals with the electrochemical evaluation of a hybrid coating based on mucilage and prickly pear cochineal (Dactylopius coccus) for corrosion protective applications. The Opuntia streptacantha mucilage was extracted by grinding prickly pear cochineal, and three coatings containing mucilague (CM), cochineal-mucilage (CMC), and cochineal-mucilage without Tween 80 (CMC-T) were formulated. The aluminum working electrodes (WE) were coated by immersion and then left to dry for 72 hours at room temperature.… Show more
