Abstract
Polyaniline/zinc composites and nanocomposites were prepared using solution mixing method. Zinc (Zn) particles with an average particle size of 60μm and zinc nanoparticles with an average particle size of 35nm were used as fillers in polyaniline (PANI) matrix. Films and coatings of PANI/Zn composites and nanocomposites were prepared by the solution casting method. Electrical conductivity and anticorrosion properties of PANI/Zn composite and nanocomposite films and coatings with different zinc loadings were evaluated. According to the results, electrical conductivity and anticorrosion performances of both PANI/Zn composites and nanocomposites were increased by increasing the zinc loading. Also results showed that the PANI/Zn nanocomposite films and coatings have better electrical conductivity and corrosion protection effect on iron coupons compared to that of PANI/Zn composite.
