Abstract
LEHR, I.L. and SAIDMAN, S.B.. Bilayers Polypyrrole Coatings for Corrosion Protection of SAE 4140 Steel. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.4, pp.281-293. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.201404281.
In this study polypyrrole (PPy) bilayers films were electrodeposited onto SAE 4140 steel. The inner layer was electropolymerized in the presence of molibdate and nitrate and the outer layer in a solution containing sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT). The electrosynthesis was done under potentiostatic conditions. The corrosion protection properties of the films were examined in sodium chloride solution by open circuit measurements, linear polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The bilayer coatings present an improved anticorrosive performance with respect to single PPy films.
