Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of FDTS-modified PDMS-ZnO nanocomposite hydrophobic coating with anti-fouling capability for corrosion protection of Q235 steel
TL;DR: Interestingly, the anti-corrosion performance and mechanical properties of the coatings increased remarkably on addition of FDTS, implying that the obtained coating would be useful in anti-fouling applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured superhydrophobic polysiloxane coating for high barrier and anticorrosion applications in marine environment
TL;DR: Remarkably, the optimum effect was observed on the superhydrophobic coating based on 30 nm ZnO and 1:1 ratio, which displayed highest anticorrosion performance, and is therefore recommended as a guide for the design of marine topcoats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Durability and synergistic effects of KI on the acid corrosion inhibition of mild steel by hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
TL;DR: The performance of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as safe corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in aerated 0.5M H2SO4 solution was appraised by weight loss, impedance and polarization measurements and it is indicated that HPMC functions as a good inhibitor in the studied environment and inhibition efficiency increased with increasing concentration of inhibitor and temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of mild steel corrosion in sulfuric acid medium by hydroxyethyl cellulose
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of HEC on mild steel corrosion in aerated 0.5-M H2SO4 solution was investigated using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques.
