Abstract
Corrosion is an irreversible phenomenon in nature that has been a major source of metal degradation. We herein provide a unique approach for embedding nanoparticles into epoxy resins via hydrogen bonding adsorption of in situ hydrophilic silica. Based on this adsorption action, a super-anticorrosive epoxy-based Teflon (MEP-PTFE) coating for usage on metals such as aluminum alloys was developed utilizing one-step dip coating, with promising engineering and public applications. It should be noted that the binding strength between the resultant MEP-PTFE coating and the substrate was 13.5 N. This coating had an impedance modulus of over 8 × 109 Ω·cm2 at 0.01 Hz and an impressive corrosion inhibition efficiency of 99.999%. The anticorrosion barrier from the diffusion control to the charge transfer control was revealed for the future good design of resin matrix coatings with excellent corrosion resistance.
