| Abstract: | Neutron reflectivity (NR) was used to study the effectiveness of superhydrophobic (SH) films as corrosion inhibitors. A low-temperature, low-pressure technique was used to prepare a rough, highly porous organosilica aerogel-like film. UV/ozone treatments were used to control the surface coverage of hydrophobic organic ligands on the silica framework, allowing the contact angle with water to be continuously varied over the range of 160° (SH) to <10° (hydrophilic). Thin (∼5000 Å) nano-porous films were layered onto aluminium surfaces and submerged in 5 wt% NaCl in D2O. NR measurements were taken over time to observe interfacial changes in thickness, density, and roughness, and therefore monitor the corrosion of the metal. NR shows that the SH nature of the surface prevents infiltration of water into the porous SH film and thus limits the exposure of corrosive elements to the metal surface. |
