Abstract
PurposeThe study aims to investigate the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings using modified cerium oxide (CeO2) by terephthalic acid (CeO2-t) and fumaric acid (CeO2-f) as corrosion inhibitors.Design/methodology/approachThe chemical state of CeO2-t, and CeO2-f were analyzed by infrared radiation (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of different inhibitors on the coating properties was analyzed by neutral salt spray tests (NSST) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).FindingsThe results of IR and XRD illustrate that the modification of CeO2 was successful, and fumaric acid underwent a ring-opening reaction with epoxy resin (EP) in the coatings. The results of NSST and EIS showed that the coatings containing CeO2-f exhibited the best anticorrosion performance.Originality/valueCeO2 is an effective inhibitor of the organic coatings. When surface modified, it is chemically bonded to EP, enhancing the anticorrosion performance of EP.
