Corrosion protection of aluminum alloy (AA2219-T6) using sulfonic acid-doped conducting polymer coatings

“…[1][2][3][4] Owing to its lightweight, low density and high mechanical strength, it is a widely applied alloy in the marine industry. 1,[5][6][7] Generally, it is prone to mild pitting corrosion induced by aggressive chloride ions in seawater and the harsh marine environment. 8 The application of organic coatings is an effective way to protect aluminum alloys from corrosion.…”

Enhanced Thermal Stability of Polymers by Incorporating Novel Surface-Decorated SrTiO3@Graphene Nanoplatelets

“…Nanospheres, nanoplatelets, and nanocylinders offer several advantages, including enhanced thermal stability, greater stiffness, strength, and modulus. Researchers have used various polymers as the matrix phase, including linear polymers such as polyether imide (PEI), poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), and poly ether sulfones (PES), as well as non-linear polymers based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) [3,8,9]. The nanofillers used in these materials include polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS), silica, alumina, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), clay, graphene, graphite, barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ), among others, which further enhance their properties [10].…”

“…To check the thermal behavior of polymer-based nanocomposites One such characterization technique, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), has been used most often [7]. TGA measures the loss in weight of the material while keeping a controlled atmosphere and varying temperature, providing important information regarding whether the material is thermally stable or not, such as degradation temperature and thermal decomposition rate [8]. The technique has been used to check out how the nanoparticles and their loading affect the thermal stability of the nanocomposites, providing a deeper understanding of the thermomechanical behavior of polymer nanocomposites [15][16][17].…”
