“…Clay materials due to their platelet structure and high aspect ratio, in well dispersed state, decrease the permeability of polymer coating films by increasing the diffusion pathways such as shown in figure 9. The nanocomposite of various polymeric materials such as polystyrene, poly (styrene-coacrylonitrile), polyaniline, polypyrrole, polysulfone, polyacryltes, polyimide and epoxy with unmodified and organically modified clays have been investigated as anticorrosive coatings on metals (Yeh et al, 2008;Olad & Rashidzadeh, 2008). According to our results obtained by electrochemical tafel slope analysis, the corrosion current of iron samples coated by the 100 μm thickness of polyaniline/MMT coating is more lower than that of samples coated by pure polyaniline coating with the same thickness in various corrosive environments (Olad & Rashidzadeh, 2008).…”
