Abstract
Different polyaniline micro/nanostructures were prepared in by oxidative polymerization doped with different acids like citric acid (C6H8O7), H3PO4 and HCl. The samples were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV–Visible spectral techniques. The rod-like composites, microspheres and nanofiber of polyaniline could be synthesized by different doting. The corrosion studies were carried out on steel plates coated with epoxy coatings containing polyaniline prepared with acid doping and no acid doing. Corrosion protection of these epoxy coatings containing prepared polyaniline (PANI) on steel was studied by Tafel polarization test in 3.5wt% sodium chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution. The results indicated that coatings prepared from acid doped polyaniline particles were found to exhibit excellent corrosion resistance much superior to no acid doped PANI in aggressive environments, and the epoxy coating containing PANI obtained in HCl doping had the best performance of the corrosion protection in all systems under investigation. The possible protective mechanism of PANI was discussed.
