However, the using of harmful fluorinated materials and its poor mechanochemical stability limit its practical application. Herein, a fluorine-free, robust and self-healing superhydrophobic surface is prepared through a two-step method of laser processing and spraying coating for anticorrosion and antibacterial applications. Laser processing is used to construct periodic micron-sized pillars for obtaining strong interface bonding between coating and substrate by mechanical interlocking effect, and as an ‘armor’, preventing the removal of the coating. The coating consists of epoxy resin (EP), hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane treated Cu2O (KH550-Cu2O). The superhydrophobic surface can withstand various mechanical durability tests, such as multiple sandpaper abrasion and tape peeling cycles. It exhibits excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency (ηp > 99 %) on Mg alloy, Tinplate and Al alloy, which results from superhydrophobicity and organic coating. The superhydrophobicity endows surface with excellent antibacterial adhesion performance in a static liquid environment. The bactericidal activity of KH550-Cu2O can effectively inactivate the bacteria in contact with the surface and the free bacteria, providing excellent antibacterial ability in a dynamic liquid environment. It still exhibits good anticorrosion and antibacterial abilities after multiple mechanical abrasion cycles due to the outstanding mechanical durability. Moreover, it exhibits outstanding self-healing ability to plasma etching and oil contamination, self-cleaning ability under air and oil conditions, and chemical stability against acids and alkalis solution. All the above excellent performances promote its application in a wider range of fields.展开更多

Thestudy employs strategic thermodynamic equilibriumcalculations to pioneer a novel factor in corrosion protection.A first-time proposal, the total acidity (TA) potential of the hydrogen (pH) concept significantly shapes medicalmagnesium alloys. These coatings are meticulously designed for robust corrosion resistance, blending theoreticalinsights and practical applications to enhance our grasp of corrosion prevention mechanisms and establisha systematic approach to coating design. The groundbreaking significance of this study lies in its innovativeintegration of the TA/pH concept,which encompasses the TA/pH ratio of the chemical environment. This approachsurpasses convention by acknowledging the intricate interplay between the acidity and pH levels within thecoating formulation, thereby optimizing metal-phosphate-based conversion coatings and transforming corrosionmitigation strategies. To authenticate the TA/pH concept, the study comprehensively compares its findings withexisting research, rigorously validating the theoretical framework and reinforcing the correlates among TA/pHvalues and observed corrosion resistance in the coatings. The influence of mutations that occur naturally inthe detergent solution on persistent phosphorus changes is shown by empirical confirmation, which improvescorrosion resistance. This realization advances the field ofmaterials and the field’s knowledge of coated generation,particularly anticorrosion converter layers.展开更多

The microstructure and chemical composition of the protective films were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that the best corrosion protection was afforded by the samples treated during 600 s in cerium chloride solution at pH values ~5.5-4, showing higher amounts of cerium and polarization resistance values greater than 10 f~ m2. Moreover, an ennoblement of the corro- sion potential and decreasing of the cathodic and anodic currents were obtained compared with the cerium nitrate solutions application. This behavior was attributed to the influence of the deposition parameters such as type of the salt anion, i.e., chelating effect and chaotropic characteristics, pH fluctuations in the conversion solution and deposition time.展开更多

In this work, the synthesis parameters of double-shelled polymer microcapsules and the mechanism of the self-healing process were systematically investigated. Apart from the chemical structure of the microcapsule shell, the shell thickness, the microcapsule size,and the core fraction could affect the self-healing anticorrosion properties. The synthesis parameters were further optimized in terms of the agitation rate, p H, weight ratio of core to shell, and temperature. Under these conditions, the microcapsule shell consisting of a rough surface formed by poly(urea-formaldehyde) and a smooth inner wall by polyurethane was prepared. The size of the microcapsules and core fraction were calculated to be approximately 30 μm and 75%, respectively. The self-healing anticorrosion coating incorporating as-synthesized microcapsules exhibited corrosion resistance in artificially scratched areas, which was further characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.展开更多

The characteristics and the delamination process of the organic coating/metal system were investigated systematically, and the emphases were on the transportation of the corrosive medium and the changes of the coating/metal interface. The results show that the impedance decreases at the initial immersion, then increases at the middle-immersion, and again decreases at last, which is related to the corrosion products scale. The concentration of Cl in the coating, which destroys the corrosion products scale, increases with the immersion time.展开更多

The groundbreaking significance of this study lies in its innovativeintegration of the TA/pH concept,which encompasses the TA/pH ratio of the chemical environment. This approachsurpasses convention by acknowledging the intricate interplay between the acidity and pH levels within thecoating formulation, thereby optimizing metal-phosphate-based conversion coatings and transforming corrosionmitigation strategies. To authenticate the TA/pH concept, the study comprehensively compares its findings withexisting research, rigorously validating the theoretical framework and reinforcing the correlates among TA/pHvalues and observed corrosion resistance in the coatings. The influence of mutations that occur naturally inthe detergent solution on persistent phosphorus changes is shown by empirical confirmation, which improvescorrosion resistance. This realization advances the field ofmaterials and the field’s knowledge of coated generation,particularly anticorrosion converter layers.

文摘A doublely-doped layered double hydroxide(LDH)film was produced on an anodized magnesium alloy AZ31.The Ce-doped Mg-Al LDH film was prepared by in-situ hydrothermal treatment method,and the intercalation of vanadate was realized by ion-exchange reaction.The structure,morphology and composition of as-prepared LDH film were investigated by X-ray diffractometer,field-emission scanning electronic microscope and energy dispersive spectrometry.Results indicated that a uniform and compact LDH film was formed and the intercalation of Ce^(3+)and vanadate would change the crystal structure of LDHs.The results of the potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectra,hydrogen evolution and corrosion weight loss tests showed the Ce^(3+)and vanadate anions significantly improve the impedance of LDH film,and the active double-doped LDH film could effectively protect the magnesium substrate from corrosion.

文摘The anticorrosive properties of cerium based conversion coatings deposited on AA6061-T6 alloy by immersion in tmbuffercd cerium chloride and cerium nitrate solutions in the presence of hydrogen peroxide were investigated and characterized by potentiodynamic po- larization （PDP） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） in 0.5 mol/L NaCl aqueous solution. The microstructure and chemical composition of the protective films were examined by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. It was found that the best corrosion protection was afforded by the samples treated during 600 s in cerium chloride solution at pH values ~5.5-4, showing higher amounts of cerium and polarization resistance values greater than 10 f~ m2. Moreover, an ennoblement of the corro- sion potential and decreasing of the cathodic and anodic currents were obtained compared with the cerium nitrate solutions application. This behavior was attributed to the influence of the deposition parameters such as type of the salt anion, i.e., chelating effect and chaotropic characteristics, pH fluctuations in the conversion solution and deposition time.

文摘Corrosion protection of the hull steel by the conventional epoxy paint containing a small amount of commercial poly（3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene）/poly（styrene sulfonate） （PEDOT/PSS）, which is one of the most popular and successful inherently conducting polymers as the corrosion inhibitor was studied. The corrosion behavior of the samples was investigated in seawater by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and open circuit potential. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the surface morphology of the samples after corrosion. It was found that adding a small amount of PEDOT/PSS to the epoxy resin can significantly improve its corrosion protection.

文摘The development of smart coatings with potential for active anticorrosion and self-healing protection of metals is essential for long-term performance of metallic structures in aggressive chemical environments.Presently,emphasis has been placed on the development of advanced smart coatings for corrosion protection in different applications.Innovative multifunctional coatings with fascinating stimuliresponsive functionalities are considered“smart”.The stimuli-responsive functionalities of these smart coatings when properly harnessed result in a class of coatings with inherent autonomous control of corrosion.Fundamentally,when metals are exposed to aggressive environments,occurrences at the metalsolution interface cause environmental changes.These changes can be controlled when triggers from external environment set off active components of smart coating,thereby enhancing coating’s life and functionality.Common triggers include the availability of moisture,concentration of chloride ion,p H gradient,mechanical damage,impact,fatigue,light,redox activity and temperature.In this review,recent technological trends in active anticorrosion and self-healing coatings as functional routes for metal protection are summarized,stimuli responsiveness and mechanisms of inhibition are discussed,and recent multi-action protective systems are particularly focused on.

文摘Epoxy resin powder coating has been successfully applied on the corrosion protection of magnesium lithium alloys.However,poor wear resistance and microcracks formed during the solidification have limited it extensive application.There are limited approaches to exploit such anti-corrosion and mechanical properties of magnesium lithium alloys.Herein,the epoxy resin powder coating with polydopamine modified molybdenum disulfide(MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating with 0,0.1,0.2,0.5,1.0 wt.%loading)was well prepared by melt extrusion to investigate its anticorrosion performance and wear resistance.The results revealed that the addition of MoS_(2)@PDA enhanced the adhesion strength between coatings and alloys,wear resistance and corrosion protection of the powder coatings.Among them,the optimum was obtained by 0.2 wt.%MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating which could be attributed to well dispersion and efficient adhesion with coating matrix.To conclude,MoS_(2)@PDA-EP powder coating is meaningfully beneficial for the anticorrosive and wear performance improvement of magnesium lithium alloys.

文摘One-component, catalyst-free self-healing coatings with double-shelled polymer microcapsules have drawn considerable attention due to wide applications. In this work, the synthesis parameters of double-shelled polymer microcapsules and the mechanism of the self-healing process were systematically investigated. Apart from the chemical structure of the microcapsule shell, the shell thickness, the microcapsule size,and the core fraction could affect the self-healing anticorrosion properties. The synthesis parameters were further optimized in terms of the agitation rate, p H, weight ratio of core to shell, and temperature. Under these conditions, the microcapsule shell consisting of a rough surface formed by poly(urea-formaldehyde) and a smooth inner wall by polyurethane was prepared. The size of the microcapsules and core fraction were calculated to be approximately 30 μm and 75%, respectively. The self-healing anticorrosion coating incorporating as-synthesized microcapsules exhibited corrosion resistance in artificially scratched areas, which was further characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

文摘There is a great challenge to fabricate superhydrophobic coating with excellent mechanical durability and corrosion resistance.Inspired by the pinecone-shaped structure,a novel reduced-graphene oxide(rGO)/Ni composite coating with pinecone-like micro/nanostructures was fabricated successfully on a stainless steel substrate using a simple electrodeposition method combining Ni pre-deposition and an elevated current assistant approach.The results show that the coating is of self-cleaning and superhydrophicity with a water contact angle(CA)of 162.7°±0.8°and a sliding angle(SA)of 2.5°±1.0°.Importantly,the coating still maintains the excellent self-cleaning and superhydrophicity,water CA of 155.8°±1.2°and SA of 5.9°±1.2°,even after 100-cycle mechanical abrasion.Meanwhile,the coating also exhibits good anticorrosion performance in 3.5 wt%NaCl solution,with 99.98%inhibition efficiency.The simple fabrication method may provide a cost-effective way to prepare mechanically durable,anticorrosive,self-cleaning and superhydrophobic coatings on metal substrates.

文摘The stimuli-responsive anticorrosion coatings have drawn great attention as a prospective corrosion protection approach due to their smart self-repairing properties.In contrast to passive protection mechanism based on post-corrosion microenvironmental changes,a unique active protection strategy based on nanocatalytic oxygen depletion is proposed in this work to inhibit the occurrence of corrosion.Porous FeeNeC catalysts with outstanding oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)activity(half-wave potential of 0.89 V)is firstly synthesized through pre-coordination with organosilane precursor to obtain homogeneously distributed active sites.When this catalyst is introduced into the coating matrix,uniformly distributed FeeNeC not only compensates the defects but plays a crucial role in adsorption and consumption of diffused oxygen in the coating.Under this dual action,the penetration of corrosive medium,especially oxygen,through coating to metal substrate is greatly suppressed,resulting in effective corrosion inhibition and a significant increase in corrosion resistance of the composite coating compared to pure epoxy coating.This work provides a new perspective and the starting point for the design of high-performance smart coating with active anticorrosion properties.

文摘Smart coating for corrosion protection of metal materials(steel,magnesium,aluminum and their alloys)has drawn great attention because of their capacity to prevent crack propagation in the protective coating by releasing functional molecules(healing agents or corrosion inhibitors)on demand from delivery vehicle,that is,micro/nanocontainer made up of a shell and core material or a coating layer,in a controllable manner.Herein,we summarize the recent achievements during the last 10 years in the field of the micro/nanocontainer with different types of stimuli-responsive properties,i.e.,pH,electrochemical potential,redox,aggressive corrosive ions,heat,light,magnetic field,and mechanical impact,for smart anticorrosion coating.The state-of-the-art design and fabrication of micro/nanocontainer are emphasized with detailed examples.
文摘Simulated adsorptive experiments using the axletree and lubricating oil containing anticorrosion additive were conducted,and the UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was measured.Through the UV spectral measurements the difference in UV absorbance of the lubricating oil before and after the adsorptive experiments was identified,the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film between lubricating oil and bearing was calculated using the Lambert-Bell principle to verify the adsorption of corrosion inhibitor on the surface of friction pairs.Adsorption experiments on lubricating oil containing both antiwear and anticorrosion additives were carried out and the UV absorbance of lubricating oil samples before and after the experiments was measured to determine the difference in the UV absorbance among lubricating oil samples with the same mass fraction of anticorrosion additive and different mass fractions of antiwear additive.By measuring the ultraviolet spectral absorbance of lubricating oil samples and calculating the adsorbed quantity of anticorrosion additive in the interfacial film it was possible to determine the influence of antiwear additive on the quantity of adsorbed anticorrosion additive on the surface of friction pairs and verify the competitive adsorption relationship between the antiwear additive and the anticorrosion additive.
文摘In order to investigate the anticorrosion performance of the organic coating/metal system, electrochemical impedance spectra （EIS） were measured in the 3.5wt% NaCl solution, the chemical component and the formation of corrosion products scale were analyzed by laser Raman microspectroscopy, and the pattern of the organic coating/metal system was observed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. The characteristics and the delamination process of the organic coating/metal system were investigated systematically, and the emphases were on the transportation of the corrosive medium and the changes of the coating/metal interface. The results show that the impedance decreases at the initial immersion, then increases at the middle-immersion, and again decreases at last, which is related to the corrosion products scale. The concentration of Cl in the coating, which destroys the corrosion products scale, increases with the immersion time.
