Abstract
This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of a novel anticorrosion pigment based on decanoate anions (C10‐) intercalated within layered double hydroxide (LDH) MgAl. The LDH-NO3, LDH-C10 were synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method and analyzed by XRD, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and electronic microscopy. The LDH-C10 pigment with a basal distance of about 20 Å was consistent with the arrangement of C10 anions in bilayer. The inhibition efficiency of the LDH-C10 pigment in electrolyte and in alkyd resin paint was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic techniques. The pigments act as a C10− nanocontainer, which release the C10− anions in contact with chloride ions that lead to the formation of a passive layer on steel. In alkyd resin, the LDH-C10-enriched organic coating exhibit very interesting anticorrosive performance in NaCl electrolyte during 40 days of immersion.
