In this paper, DBSA-doped polyaniline (PANI)/Na+-montmorillonite (MMT) clay nanocomposite (PCN) materials have been successfully prepared with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) as emulsifier and dopant for the emulsion polymerization of aniline. The as-prepared DBSA-doped samples were subsequently characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, WAXRD patterns and TEM. It should be noted that the nanocomposite coating containing 1 wt.% of clay loading was found to exhibit an observable enhanced corrosion protection on cold-rolled steel (CRS) electrode at higher operational temperature of 50 °C, which was even better than that of uncoated and electrode-coated with PANI alone at room temperature of 30 °C based on the electrochemical parameter evaluations (e.g., Ecorr, Rp, Icorr, Rcorr and impedance). In this work, all electrochemical measurements were performed at a double-wall jacketed cell, covered with a glass plate, through which water was circulated from a thermostat to maintain a constant operational temperature of 30, 40 and 50 ± 0.5 °C. Moreover, a series of electrochemical parameters shown in Tafel, Nyquist and Bode plots were all used to evaluate PCN coatings at three different operational temperatures in 5 wt.% aqueous NaCl electrolyte. Effect of material composition on the molecular weight and optical properties of neat PANI and PCN materials, in the form of solution, were studied by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and UV-vis spectra, respectively. Finally, electrical conductivity at three different operational temperatures of PANI and PCN powder-pressed pellets doped with different inorganic acids such as HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4 was also investigated through the measurements of standard four-point-probe technique. 相似文献
This study aims the evaluation of the corrosion of steel bar embedded in antiwashout underwater concrete, which has rather been neglected to date. To that goal, accelerated steel bar corrosion tests have been performed for three series of steel bar-reinforced antiwashout underwater concrete specimens manufactured with different admixtures and under different environments. The three series of antiwashout underwater concrete were: concrete constituted exclusively by ordinary portland cement (OPC), concrete composed by ordinary portland cement mixed with fly-ash in 20% ratio (FA20) and concrete with ground granulated blast furnace slag is mixed in 50% ratio (BFS50). And, the three different environments were: manufacture in the air, in tap water, and in artificial seawater.Measurement results using half-cell potential surveyor showed that, among all the specimens, steel bar in OPC manufactured in artificial seawater was the first one that exceeded the threshold value proposed by ASTM C 876 with a potential value below − 350 mV after 14 cycles. And, the corresponding corrosion current density and concentration of water soluble chloride were measured as 0.3 μA/cm2 and 0.258%. On the other hand, for the other specimens that are FA20 and BFS50, potential values below − 350 mV were observed later at 18 and 20 cycles, respectively.Results confirmed the expectation that mineral admixtures may be more effective in delaying the development of steel bar corrosion in antiwashout underwater concrete. 相似文献
The aim of this study was to clarify whether the C3A content of cement had a significant effect on electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) treatment efficiency. It is known that a higher C3A content in a cement gives it superior chloride complexing ability resulting in the formation of an “insoluble” calcium chloro aluminate compound.ECE was applied using cylindrical specimens made from concrete containing two levels of C3A (4.3% and 9.05%). Specimens were 5 cm in diameter and 10 cm in height. Steel was placed in the axial direction with an embedded length of 7 cm. These specimens were immersed in an NaCl solution and dried in a stream of air at 40 °C for 10 months. The corrosion was monitored by half-cell potential and polarization resistance measurements. After steel depassivation, ECE was applied for 20, 30, 40 and 50 days using a constant current density of 1 A/m2 of steel. At the end of the treatment, the specimens were maintained at 20 °C and 70% RH in order to observe the evolution of the steel (electrochemical measurements).The results show that, after 30 days of treatment, the chloride content remained constant in the specimen. This was probably due to OH− ion formation on the steel. The OH− ions “contribute” to the current transport, decreasing the ECE efficiency. Concerning the C3A content, ECE efficiency was slightly affected by C3A because only a part of the bound chloride ions was released. From the point of view of corrosion, half-cell potential showed a shift in the positive direction, indicating little corrosion activity at 20 °C and 70% RH. However, polarization resistance measurements showed that 2 months post treatment corrosion rates were significant, although the corrosion rate decreased from 6 μA/cm2 to 2.5 μA/cm2. 相似文献
A polyaniline–TiO2 composite (PTC) was prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline in phosphoric acid with ammonium persulphate, in the presence of TiO2. The composite was characterized by spectroscopic methods. An acrylic paint containing the PTC was prepared and the coating formed on magnesium alloy was evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy after exposure to salt spray test for a period of 250 h. The coating containing the PTC was found to protect the magnesium alloy more efficiently than the coating containing polyaniline. 相似文献
Deterioration of bond strength between concrete and reinforcement is of great importance in studying the strength of structural members with corroded reinforcements. A simple analytical model is proposed to demonstrate the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar on reduction of bond strength. The corrosion pressure due to expansive action of corrosion products before and after corrosion cracking is firstly estimated. Then, reduction of bar confinement caused by cover cracking, change of friction coefficient between the steel and the concrete, and reduction of the friction force on the bearing face as well as deterioration of the ribs of the deformed bars due to steel corrosion are considered in calculating the mechanical interactions between reinforcing bar and concrete. As a result, the bond strength of corroded bars is calculated. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental results and agree with those results well. 相似文献
In the present study, different types of 75% Cr3C2-25% NiCr coatings were applied on a steel substrate by means of high velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF), and studied using ac and dc electrochemical measurements in an aerated and unstirred 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Structural characterization was determined before and after electrochemical tests. Differences between all sprayed systems are related to the gun transverse speed and number of deposited layers, which strongly affected the electrochemical characteristics of the coated steels. The coating obtained with a higher torch speed showed better resistance against corrosion. The electrochemical impedance results were analyzed using an equivalent circuit where porosity of the coatings and substrate oxidation were considered. 相似文献
Ozone treatment for preventing the biofouling in cooling water systems is investigated.
In the fresh water system, the separating effect of the ozonated water on the microorganisms such as the sphaerotilus and the zoogloea which adhere to the piping and form the slime is recognized. When the ozonated water is supplied intermittently to the piping without stopping the flow of the cooling water, a constant volume of cooling water can be maintained. At the velocity of 1 m/sec, the amount of metal corrosion produced by the ozonated water is reduced on the mild steel, increased on the copper and does not change on the cast iron, when compared with that produced by the water containing no ozone.
In the seawater system, since many substances are oxidized by the ozone, the same treatment as that in the fresh water system cannot be applied. However, if the seawater in the cooling system can be replaced with ozone-containing air intermittently once a week, the adhesion of organisms such as barnacles and mussels to the piping can be prevented without having a bad influence on the other living oceanic organisms. 相似文献
