Abstract
DAGDAG, O.; HARFI, A. El; BACHIRI, A. El and JODEH, S.. Thermal and Anti-Corrosive Properties of Titanium Dioxide/Epoxy Resin Composite Coating for Steel. Preservation in a Marine-Environment. Port. Electrochim. Acta [online]. 2021, vol.39, n.3, pp.183-198. Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 0872-1904. https://doi.org/10.4152/pea.2021390303.
This study reports the evaluation of the anticorrosive performance of polymer epoxy resin, namely, Diglycidyl ether 4, 4’-dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (DGEDDS) and its polymer composite reinforced with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), for carbon steel (CS) corrosion, in 3% wt. NaCl, using experimental analyses. Thermal, electrochemical and morphological techniques were used to demonstrate the anticorrosive effectiveness of the standard epoxy resin (MP1) and its TiO2 composite (MP2). The effect of UV irradiation (for 2000 h), on the effectiveness of MP1 and its TiO2 composite (MP2), showed that TiO2 presence appreciably enhanced the protection efficiency effect of MP1.
