Abstract

This paper reports developing an innovative method of anticorrosion protection based on organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) enriched with CeO2 ceramic nanocontainers loaded with 5-amino-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (5-ATDT) on hot-dip galvanized zinc (HDG) steel used to strengthen cement in concrete. The chemistry of ORMOSIL coatings and the production of CeO2 ceramic nanocontainers are described in detail for reproduction by other researchers. The anticorrosion properties of these novel coatings were investigated through frequency response analysis (FRA). As a result, the coatings HDG-ORMOSIL + CeO2 (5-ATDT) were better than the samples of HDG steel, HDG-ORMOSIL, and HDG-ORMOSIL + CeO2 (EMPTY) by a factor of 1033.60, 109.21, and 7.76 in terms of anticorrosion protection, respectively.
