Synthesis and corrosion protection aspects of poly(o-toluidine)/CdO nanoparticle composite coatings on mild steel

Abstract

This study examines the possibility of using poly(o-toluidine)/CdO (POT-CdO) nanoparticle composite coating for corrosion protection of mild steel in chloride environment. The POT-CdO nanoparticle composite coating was synthesized on mild steel from aqueous tartrate solution containing CdO-nanoparticles (size $18 nm) by using cyclic voltammetry. These coatings were characterized by cyclic voltammetry, UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction measurements. The corrosion protection aspects of the resulting POTCdO nanocomposite structure were investigated in aqueous 3% NaCl solution by potentiodynamic polarization technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results of these investigations reveal that the POT-CdO nanoparticle composite acts as a protective coating on mild steel and reduces the corrosion rate of mild steel almost by factor of 70.

HCl/CSA doped POT-Mn3O4 nanocomposites based conformable thin film temperature sensor for prosthetic hand gloves

“…The peaks at 1,301 and 1,247 cm -1 are assigned to C-N and C=N stretching of benzenoid rings. Band at 1,148 cm -1 corresponds to in-plane bending of C-H. An absorption band at 800 cm -1 revealed the presence of ortho substituted benzene ring [39,40].…”

Characterization and anticorrosive properties of poly(2,3‐dimethylaniline)/nano‐Al2O3 composite synthesized by emulsion polymerization

“…and of inorganic nanofillers like selectivity, thermal stability, high melting and boiling points, and densities . In order to obtain the materials with synergetic or complementary behavior between polymer and inorganic nanoparticles, various composites of polymer with inorganic nanoparticles have been synthesized in recent years . Aluminum oxide is one of the most widely used engineering ceramic materials due to its high chemical corrosion resistance and wear resistance, high elastic modulus, excellent temperature stability, and the retention of strength at high temperatures .…”

Advanced anti corrosive properties of poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine)/flyash composite coatings

“…This clearly shows that presence of poly(aniline-co-o-toluidine)/flyash composite in epoxy coatings improves the anodic controlled corrosion reaction. Literature shows that PANI/poly-o-toluidine has a tendency to passivate metal by providing anodic protection to the underlying metal [25,44,45]. It can be interpreted from the measured values of i corr and β a that the copolymer composite is able to passivate the defect to some extent.…”
