Abstract
Advancements in the field of corrosion protective coatings have headed towards the utilization of conducting polymer-based blends and composites for the formulation of corrosive protective paints and coatings. With the aim to develop an ecofriendly waterborne conducting polymer-based protective coating material, corrosion protective behavior of waterborne resorcinol formaldehyde (RF)-cured composite coatings of poly(1-naphthylamine) (PNA)/poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) was investigated on mild steel (MS). The corrosion protective performance was evaluated by physicochemical, physicomechanical, corrosion protective efficiency and resistance in acid, alkaline and saline media by open circuit potential (OCP) measurements. The morphologies of coated, uncoated as well as corroded samples were analyzed by SEM technique. Superior corrosion protective performance was observed which was compared to the reported solvent-based conductive polymer coatings in different corrosive media.
