| Abstract | Corrosion is a significantproblem and is, to a large extent, responsiblefor the degradation of metallic parts. In this direction, mesoporoussilica particles (MSPs) were synthesized by a sol–gel techniqueand had an average pore diameter of ∼6.82 nm. The MSPs wereloaded with polyethyleneimine (PEI) and epoxy monomers and, afterthat, carefully mixed into the epoxy matrix to formulate new modifiedpolymeric coatings. The microstructural, compositional, structural,and thermal properties were investigated using various characterizingtools [Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infraredspectroscopy, hermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy]. TGA confirms the loading of mesoporous silica witha corrosion inhibitor, and its estimated loading amount is ∼8%.The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy properties of the referenceand modified coated samples confirm the promising anti-corrosive performanceof the synthesized polymeric smart coatings. Localized electrochemicaltests (scanning vibrating electrode technique and scanning ion-selectiveelectrode technique) evidence the corrosion inhibition ability ofthe coating, and its self-healing was also observed during 24 h ofimmersion. The decent anti-corrosion performance of the modified coatingscan be credited to the efficient synergistic effect of the PEI andepoxy monomer. |
