| Abstract Scope |
Natural Gum Arabic (GA) used as a corrosion inhibitor and loaded into cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) to develop an environment-friendly anti-corrosive pigment used in the epoxy formulation for corrosion protection of steel in the marine environment. Epoxy coatings containing CONPs, without GA, were also prepared as reference. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed the successful loading of GA into the CONPs. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques confirmed approximately ⁓30.0 wt. % loading of GA into the CONPs. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrated the anticorrosion properties of the epoxy coatings modified with the GA loaded CONPs when compared to reference coatings. Corrosion protection mechanism demonstrates that GA loaded CONPs (anti-corrosive pigment) act as a filler material for epoxy coating and it can also aid the recovery of the protective properties of the epoxy coating leading to the formation of a stable protective layer. |
