Abstract

The anti-corrosion performance of polyaniline-thiokol rubber (PANI/TR) composite coating applied to mild steel samples in artificial brine and hydrochloric acid environments is for the first time evaluated in this paper. The PANI/TR composite -coatings on mild steel were electropolymerized in a nonaqueous solution. EDS, XPS and SEM were concurrently used to characterize the structure, as well as composition of the coating and show that the structure is favorable to the corrosion protection. Both potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) demonstrated that the PANI/TR coating outperforms PANI coating both in the adhesion to the substrate and its corrosion protection, making the free corrosion potential by about 100mV more positive. As a result, the mild steel corrosion was greatly impeded by applying PANI/TR composite conductive polymer coating.
