Preparation and Corrosion Performance of PPy/Silane Film on AZ31 Magnesium Alloy via One-Step Cyclic Voltammetry

Abstract

PPy/silane composite film on a magnesium alloy surface was prepared by one-step cycle voltammetry. The mixed solution of methanol and water was used as the hydrolysis solvent of a γ-(2,3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane coupling agent (KH-560). The surface morphology of the PPy/silane film, the electro-polymerization progress of KH-560 and PPy, the influence of the silane coupling agent and the corrosion behavior of the coated AZ31 Mg alloy were all investigated. The results indicated that the PPy/silane film on AZ31 Mg alloy via one-step cyclic voltammetry could provide better corrosion protection for an Mg alloy when the volume fraction of KH-560 in the hydrolysis solution was 15% and the time span of hydrolysis was 24 h with the 5.935 × 10−10 A cm−2 corrosion current density.

A facile strategy to construct multifunctional microencapsulated urea ammonium polyphosphate for epoxy resins towards satisfied fire safety, thermal stability and compatibility

“…Polypyrrole (PPy) is a polymeric material formed by the polymerization of multiple five‐membered heterocyclic compounds, which is not only widely used in biomaterials, 15 metal corrosion protection, 16 catalytic degradation 17 and supercapacitors, 18 but also attracts the attention of scholars in the field of flame retardant. Pethsangave et al 19 constructed multifunctional polypyrrole (PPy)‐loaded graphene (G‐fPPy), and the coating prepared from this material showed excellent flame retardancy for cotton fabrics and wood.…”

Strengthening adhesion of polycarbazole films on ITO surface by covalent electrografting of monomer

“…On the functionalized electrodes, the pendant pyrrole groups of the organosilane acted as initiation sites for the polymerization of polypyrrole [22]. Such a surface modification allowed to improve the adhesion and mechanical stability of polypyrrole films without degrading their conductivity and electroactivity [23], which promoted their applications in anticorrosion coatings [24,25]. Similarly, adsorption of polyaniline on titania or silica particles can be achieved by pre-grafting an organosilane through the -OH groups of the particles, followed by polymerization to generate the polymer shell.…”
