Shengle Hao, Shiyu Hou, Ding Nan, Deping Xu, Wanci Shen, Feiyu Kang, Zheng-Hong Huang
TL;DR
A smart, self-healing epoxy coating was developed using graphene oxide and inhibitors to provide long-lasting anti-corrosion protection in harsh environments.
Contribution
A novel pH-sensitive, self-healing waterborne epoxy coating with dual active/passive anti-corrosion capabilities was created.
Findings
MCPG/WEP coating showed a |Z|0.01 Hz value of 3.7 × 10⁹ Ω/cm² after 30 days, significantly higher than pure WEP.
The coating exhibited minimal corrosion and bubbles in a 200 h salt spray test.
The coating combines pH sensitivity and a strong barrier effect for dual anti-corrosion performance.
Abstract
The development of smart coatings with active protection is a promising approach to prolonging the service life in extreme environments. Herein, the corrosion inhibitors 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (MBI) and CeO2 were in situ loaded onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) by dopamine (DA) polymerization, and we ultimately obtained the multifunctional composite MBI@CeO2@PDA@GO (MCPG). The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results revealed that after 30 days of immersion in the corrosive media, the |Z|0.01 Hz value of MCPG/WEP coating remained at 3.7 × 109 Ω/cm2, which displayed four orders of magnitude higher than that of pure WEP coating (1.4 × 105 Ω/cm2). In a 200 h salt spray test, the MCPG/WEP coating also demonstrated minimal corrosion products and bubbles, affirming the exceptional corrosion-inhibiting effect and excellent self-healing performance. Consequently, the…
