“…34 The S0M hybrid coating ( Figure 6b) recorded two phenomena for immersion times 1, 24, 72 and 168 h: (i) the first one, at medium-to-low frequency range, was attributed to changes in electrical conductivity during the exposure to the corrosive SBF environment; in other words, the electrolyte permeability through the film furthers the response of the passive film below the sol-gel coating; 25 and (ii) the second one, at high frequency range, was associated with the presence of protective coating, which indicated high resistance. 10,16 Figure 6. Bode diagrams generated for (a) uncoated substrate (TWC) and (b) hybrid siloxane-PMMA coating (S0M), after 1, 24, 72 and 168 h immersed in SBF solution at 37 °C.…”
