Viscosity of Al–Ni–Co–Nd(Sm) glass-forming melts at high temperatures

Obtaining amorphous alloys with good mechanical and anticorrosion properties is an important problem of modern condensed matter physics. Since the preparation of amorphous alloys involves casting them from liquid state, information on the properties of the melts is needed. Viscosity is one of the most informative structure-sensitive property of melts. In this paper viscosity of some glass-forming Al–Ni–Co–Nd(Sm) melts with different ratio of transition metals was studied using damped oscillation method in a wide temperature range up to 1550 K. Activation energies of the viscous flow were calculated from the experimental data. The hysteresis of viscosity temperature dependences during heating and subsequent cooling was found. It can be associated with a melt transition to a more homogeneous state. The repeated heating and cooling of the melts without crystallization lead to Arrhenius type of viscosity temperature dependences.

Preparation of Silicone Coating and Its Anti-Ice and Anti-Corrosion Properties

To enhance protection against corrosion and ice on iron metal material in frigid zones, an organic silicone resin coating was prepared using four monomers. Its structure and performance was analyzed via infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and thermal analysis (TG). Corrosion resistance of coating was tested by saltwater resistance and salt spray resistance and assessed using an electrochemical workstation, alongside anti-icing tests. The results showed that the organic silicone resin was successfully synthesized. The coatings could delay freezing onset by one-third compared to controls in low temperatures, with a detachment time also reduced by one-third, indicating excellent corrosion and ice resistance. The methylphenyl silicone resin had good anti-corrosion and anti-ice properties, with a low corrosion current density (icorr) of 0.8793 μA/cm2 and a high charge transfer resistance (Rct) of 24,930 Ω·cm2 in saline.

Self‐healing polyurethane anticorrosive coatings based on alkyd resin microcapsules

AbstractIn this paper, self‐healing microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization using poly(vinyl alcohol) as the emulsifier, urea‐formaldehyde resin as the shell material, and alkyd resin as the core material. The average diameter of the obtained microcapsules was about 20 μm and the encapsulation rate of alkyd resin was 50.7 wt.%. The self‐healing coating was prepared by adding 5 wt.% of microcapsules to the pure polyurethane coating and then coated on AA2024‐T3 substrate. The self‐healing effect was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests and neutral salt spray tests confirmed that the self‐healing coating had good anticorrosion properties.

Silver sulfide anchored bismuth molybdate p-n heterojunction nano-coating with excellent photo-thermal self-healing performance

In this research, a self-healing nano-coating with excellent photo-thermal response to near-infrared (NIR) laser is prepared. This coating incorporates silver sulfide anchored bismuth molybdate (Ag2S@Bi2MoO6) into a shape memory epoxy resin to achieve for a good photo-thermal conversion capability. The Ag2S@Bi2MoO6 p-n heterojunction could photo-generate more electron-holes pairs under the NIR laser irradiation. Also, it shows a wider absorption range of visible light, leading to effectively absorb the light energy, generate enough heat to induce the shape memory recovery in the coating, and seal the scratch. The results indicate that the temperature of EP-1 % Ag2S@Bi2MoO6 coating has reached about 88 °C, while good self-healing and anti-corrosion properties with a self-healing rate of 88.41 % have been achieved. Furthermore, calculations based on Density Functional Theory and Finite Element Method pointed out that the formation of p-n heterojunction effectively has enhanced the photo-thermal effect. This research opens a new way for developing self-healing coatings with an ultra-fast response time and high self-healing efficiency.

Synthesis of a new type of bisphenol-BC-based benzoxazines from sustainable bio-phenol for hydrophobic, dielectric and corrosion-resistant applications

The bifunctional phenol (BBC) was derived from a sustainable resource, viz., cardanol, which is utilized to prepare benzoxazines using five structurally different amines with paraformaldehyde through Mannich condensation. The molecular structure of the synthesized benzoxazines were confirmed by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectral analyses. The curing behavior of the benzoxazines was studied using DSC and among all the synthesized benzoxazines, BBC-imp exhibits lower curing temperature of 224 °C than that of others. The thermal stability of all the polybenzoxazines were analyzed using TGA and poly(BBC-a) was found to be better thermally stable than that of other polybenzoxazines. Poly(BBC-tfma) showed the highest value of water contact angle of 152° and the lowest value of dielectric constant of 4.50. All the synthesized BBC-based polybenzoxazines possess good anti-corrosion property with a protection efficiency of 99%. Data obtained from different studies suggest that the polybenzoxazines developed in the present work can be considered for possible use in the form of sealants, encapsulants, adhesives and coatings for microelectronics and other industrial applications for better performance.

Zirconium oxide thin films deposited via DC magnetron sputtering: corrosion and morphological investigation

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the structural, surface roughness and corrosion properties of the zirconium oxide thin films deposited onto SS304 substrates using the direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique. Design/methodology/approach DC sputtering at different powers – 80, 100 and 120 W – was used to deposit ZrO2 thin films onto different substrates (Si/SS304) without annealing of the substrate. Atomic force microscope (AFM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Tafel extrapolation and contact angle techniques were applied to investigate the surface roughness, chemical compositions, corrosion behavior and hydrophobicity of these films. Findings Results showed that the thickness of the deposited film increased with power increase, while the corrosion current decreased with power increase. AFM images indicated that the surface roughness decreased with an increase in DC power. EDS analysis showed that the thin film has a stoichiometric ZrO2 (Zr:O 1:2) composition with basic uniformity. Water contact angle measurements indicated that the hydrophobicity of the synthesized films decreased with an increase in surface roughness. Originality/value DC magnetron sputtering technique is infrequently used to deposition thin films. The obtained thin films showed good hydrophobic and anticorrosion properties. Finally, results are compared with other deposition techniques.

Internal superhydrophobic marine concrete: Interface modification based on slag microstructure regulation

Structures in coastal environments are susceptible to damage from the combined effects of loading, scouring, corrosion, rust-frost-crystallization expansion forces, etc. Superhydrophobic materials can effectively alleviate these problems due to their excellent water rejection properties. However, in practical applications, superhydrophobic performance failure occurs after the surface is subjected to various stresses. To further explore this point, this article prepared an integrated superhydrophobic protective material using solid waste material slag to achieve the resource utilization of solid waste materials. Superhydrophobic particles covered with paraffin wax (SPP) reduce the direct damage of external forces on hydrophobic particles, extend their service life, and achieve self-healing of superhydrophobicity. Its comprehensive performance indices, including all-round wettability, water repellences, carbonisation resistance and electrochemical corrosion performance, were investigated. The results show that the contact angles of the superhydrophobic mortar inside and outside the contact angle are more than 150°, indicating three-dimensional superhydrophilicity. The 30% SPP dosage of superhydrophobic mortar in 48 h water absorption compared to ordinary mortar reduced by 78%, 120 h water permeability up to 0.72%; and carbonized 28 days after no traces of carbonisation; in the electrochemical corrosion experiments to prevent corrosive liquids from entering the reinforcing bars in the concrete has good anti-corrosion properties. In the electrochemical corrosion experiment, the corrosive agent effectively prevents the corrosive liquid from entering contact with the steel reinforcement in the concrete, and the resulting material has good anti-corrosion performance. These key characteristics can provide unique advantages for a wide range of applications in coastal environments, such as construction, bridging, decoration, transportation and power transmission.

Correlations between the anti-corrosion properties and the photocatalytic behavior of epoxy coatings incorporating modified graphene oxide deposited on a zinc substrate.

This research aimed to create a substrate-coating system based on zinc and an epoxy resin incorporating modified graphene oxide, which possesses two key characteristics: effective resistance against corrosion and the ability to harness photocatalytic properties. Furthermore, correlations between the anti-corrosion properties and the photocatalytic behaviour of the coatings were made. Thin epoxy (EP) layers embedding 0.1 wt% graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and modified graphene oxide with (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) or poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer were applied on a zinc (Zn) substrate using the dip-coating method. Anti-corrosion properties of coated Zn samples were investigated through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. They showed that the corrosion protection effect is more prominent for EP containing functionalized GO, the highest in the case of GO-PAMAM. The results of the EIS measurements indicated also that the corrosion protection provided by EP-rGO is smaller than that of EP. The photocatalytic properties of the coatings were studied by exposure of the samples to Methylene Blue (MB) solution followed by monitoring the model dye degradation through UV-Vis measurements. To determine the changes in the anti-corrosion properties due to photocatalysis, the coated Zn samples were put through additional EIS measurements. The same coatings applied to a glass substrate lacked photocatalytic properties, indicating that the Zn substrate is accountable for the degradation of MB. Furthermore, the incorporation of GO or functionalized GO into the coating amplifies this effect. From EIS spectra, it was determined that the protective properties loss observed after 3 days is due to coating delamination during exposure to MB solution, the EP-GO-APTES retaining the best adhesion of the coating, 98% remaining on Zn after a cross-hatch test. The corrosion measurements were complemented by examining the morphology and structure of the coatings and the modified GO particles. All things considered, the Zn/EP-GO-APTES system shows the best ability to break down organic pollutants, keeping a good anti-corrosive property and adhesion.

Mixed metal oxide decorated polypyrrole nanocomposites for multifunctional applications

Mixed metal oxide nanocomposites of TiO2, ZnO, and CuO were synthesized by the improved Sol-gel method. Polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy) was carried out by chemical oxidative technique. In situ technique was used to synthesize mixed metal/PPy nanocomposites. The photocatalytic, antibacterial, anticorrosive, electrical, and magnetic properties of polymeric nanocomposites were investigated. The photosensitivity of polymeric nanocomposites was examined for degrading methylene blue dye in visible light. The variation in pH and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) with the degradation time of dye was followed. pH increases and COD decreases with an increase in photodegradation of dye with time. The antibacterial properties of polymeric nanocomposites and metal oxide nanocomposites were investigated against E. coli and B. subtilis and compared with 06 antibiotics (Hexa disk). The optical band gap of metal oxide nanocomposites, PPy, and PPy/mixed metal oxide nanocomposites was investigated by Tauc plots. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue follows pseudo 1st-order kinetics with a velocity constant of 0.0685 min−1. The mixed metal/PPy nanocomposites show 80.1 ± 0.2 % corrosion inhibition efficiency. The maximum zone of inhibition shown by mixed metal nanocomposites was 12.5 ± 0.1 mm against E. coli. The mixed metal/PPy nanocomposites (100 ppm) degrade 92 % of the methylene blue dye after 90 min. of visible light exposure. The magnetic properties show a high degree of magnetization retention in polymeric nanocomposites. Mixed metal/PPy nanocomposites show very good photocatalytic, antibacterial, anticorrosive, electrical, and magnetic properties and hence act as advanced functional nanomaterials for multifunctional applications.

Self-healing poly(oxime–carbamate) films with tunable mechanical properties derived from rosin

Thermoset polymers with superior dimensional stability and creep resistance have been widely used in various electronic and energy devices. However, they are difficult to reprocess and recycle, and with the gradual decrease in nonrenewable resources, there is an urgent need for new sustainable materials as alternatives to thermoset polymers. Polymer materials with self-healing properties can provide high durability and sustainability for devices. In this work, we prepared a series of rosin-based poly(oxime–carbamate) films by reacting rosin acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate ester with toluene 2, 4-diisocyanate using dimethylglyoxime as the chain extender and triethanolamine as the crosslinking agent. The introduction of rosin with a rigid tricyclic phenanthrene structure in the prepared films resulted in excellent tensile strength (4.9 ± 0.03 MPa) while maintaining high elongation at break (973.2 % ± 4.8 %) and toughness (20.9 ± 0.1 MJ m−3). The good self-healing properties of the prepared films (90.6 % ± 1.5 %, 60 °C for 3 h) were attributed to the introduction of dynamic oxime–carbamate bonds. In particular, the tunable mechanical and self-healing properties of the films can be achieved by varying the molar ratio of rosin acrylate/glycidyl methacrylate ester to dimethylglyoxime. Furthermore, the prepared rosin-based films exhibited good adhesion, welding, and anticorrosion properties. Considering the reversible exchange mechanism of dynamic oxime–carbamate bonds and their use in self-healing and recycling applications, a new strategy for developing sustainable high-performance biobased self-healing coatings is presented.

Polystyrene-derived porous graphite carbon nanospheres with corrosion resistance as a lubricant additive for efficient friction and wear reduction

Herein, the porous graphite carbon nanospheres loaded with corrosion resistance (MBT@PCNs) were fabricated by carbonizing hypercrosslinked polystyrene nanospheres at 2450 °C, and then loaded and bonded with corrosion inhibitor 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) via the hierarchical porous structure of PCNs and grafting polydopamine layer. Porous carbon nanospheres (PCNs) are highly graphitized at ultrahigh carbonization temperature of 2450 °C, which is helpful to improve the wear resistance of 500SN due to the weak interlaminar shear force. Moreover, the MBT@PCNs have a sustained-release performance for corrosion inhibitor MBT. MBT molecule can be adsorbed on the substrate surface to achieve good anti-corrosion properties. Hence, MBT@PCNs can effectively enhance the anti-friction and anti-wear performance of 500SN under the combined effects of ball bearing, filling, and protective film.

Development and Evaluation of the corrosion Protection of Epoxy-Palm kernel shell Ash nanoparticles coating for Mild steel

Mild steels are important construction materials in our modern society; hence, it finds application in general purpose engineering as a versatile material. However, steels corrode due to exposure to oxygen and moisture. The protection of steel against corrosion is of importance to the industry as well as Nigeria and the world at large. Corrosion can be controlled or reduced through the use of suitable and locally available materials in production of coatings for Mild steel. Nanoparticles due to their large surface areas have been shown to be excellent materials as they are good absorbents of coating pigments. Palm kernel shells are readily available and easily accessible in Nigeria and they contain calcium which easily combines with epoxy to give compounds resistant to corrosion attack. The effect of the addition of palm kernel shell ash nanoparticles (PKSAnp) in epoxy as a coating for mild steel was studied. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5wt% palm kernel shell ash nanoparticles were added to epoxy. The coating was done using spraying method. Corrosion protection efficiency of 98.62% was obtained for the mild steel when coated with epoxy-5wt%ESAnp. The substrate showed more tendencies to pitting than the coated samples. This study has established that epoxy-5wt%ESAnp have good anti-corrosion properties

Epoxy Coating Modification with Metal Nanoparticles to Improve the Anticorrosion, Migration, and Antibacterial Properties

Nanoparticles are capable of making more durable and stronger materials with better chemical resistance. They are used for a wide range of applications. Likewise, the potential of metal nanoparticles as antimicrobial agents has been widely studied. In this work, we investigate various nanoparticles (Al, Ni, Ag) incorporated into epoxy coating. The anticorrosion and antibacterial properties of the unmodified and modified coatings were evaluated. According to the SEM and EDS analyses, the coating did not contain agglomerates, which confirms the quality of the dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles in the coating. After 24 h and 10days immersions in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, the corrosion behaviour for all nanocomposite was studied by means of EIS investigations. The study included the evaluation of the inhibition zone of the nanoparticles and the antimicrobial properties of the nanocomposite. It was found that the nanoparticles of Al and Ag provide excellent antibacterial properties. The epoxy nanocomposite with Al NP showed the migration of ions in the range from 0.75 to 1 mg/L in a wastewater solution for 30 days, indicating a potential for antimicrobe activity. The 1% Al NP epoxy nanocomposite showed good anticorrosion and antibacterial properties and demonstrated great potential for applications in pipelines.

PANI encapsulated α-MnO2 nanocomposites as photocatalytic, antibacterial and anticorrosive agents: Sustainable experimental and theoretical studies

Metal nanoparticles and conducting polymers have applications in the fields like purification, separation, adsorption, photocatalytic, antibacterial, sensors, electrical conductivity, etc. The α-MnO2 nanoparticles, and polyaniline (PANI) were synthesized by the reverse micelle and chemical oxidative techniques, respectively. An in-situ technique was used for the synthesis of α-MnO2/PANI nanocomposites (NCs). The characterization of α-MnO2 nanoparticles and NCs was carried out by XRD, TEM, FTIR, and UV–visible techniques. The experimental data was supported by a theoretical (computational) study. Corrosion inhibition, antibacterial, and photocatalytic activity of α-MnO2/PANI NCs were explored. The NCs show a maximum of 87 ± 0.1% corrosion inhibition efficiency. The NCs (100 ppm concentration) degrade 89.15 ± 1.1% of methyl orange dye after 3 h of UV exposure. The photodegradation of dye follows pseudo-first order kinetics with a rate constant of 0.0657 min−1. The mechanism of photodegradation is supported by potentiostatic photocurrent measurement, impedance spectroscopy, pH variation, and chemical oxygen demand. The antibacterial property of NCs was compared to standard Hexa disk against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. The NCs show 18.5 mm and 15.3 mm Zone of Inhibition (1000 ppm) for S. epidermis and E. coli, respectively. The α-MnO2/PANI NCs show very good anti-corrosive, antibacterial, and photocatalytic properties.

Stearic acid modified porous nickel-based coating on magnesium alloy AZ31 for high superhydrophobicity and corrosion resistance

In this work, a novel stearic acid modified nickel-based (NiSA) superhydrophobic composite coating with good anti-corrosion properties was prepared on magnesium alloy AZ31 surface through electroless nickel-phosphorus plating, electrodeposition of porous nickel, and decoration with stearic acid. Surface topography, chemical groups, and structural compositions of the NiSA coating were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Adhesion of the NiSA coating was evaluated by a tape test method, and corresponding water contact angle (WCA) and water sliding angle (WSA) were tested by a contact angle meter. Results indicate that WCA value of the NiSA coating was 154.6° ± 3.7°, and WSA value was 5.9° ± 1.7°, indicating a high superhydrophobicity. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel fitting reveal that the corrosion current density of the coating (jcorr = 1.41 × 10−8 A cm−2) was three orders of magnitude lower than that of the bare magnesium alloy, and the corresponding low-frequency impedance modulus (|Z|f = 0.01 Hz = 554.65 kΩ cm2) increased by three orders of magnitude, verifying high corrosion resistance. Moreover, all contact angles (CA) of common liquid stains in life were higher than 150°, indicating the good anti-fouling capability of the NiSA coating.

N-PMI modified PAZ nanocomposite coatings with self-healing function for anticorrosion and antifouling applications

With the rapid development of the modern industrial marine economy, metal corrosion and biological fouling of marine ships and engineering equipment have become the main problems affecting the development of the marine industry. Traditional single-function coatings have only anti-corrosion or anti-fouling properties, which cannot meet the current needs of marine industry development for coating protection. In this study, a self-healing coating with good anticorrosion and antifouling properties has been prepared upon functionalization of a film forming resin and modification of a nanofiller. Initially, a modified acrylic resin (PAZ/N-PMI) was successfully synthesized by inserting zinc ions and a structural functional monomer (N-phenyl maleimide; N-PMI) into the polymer chain of an acrylic resin using free radical solution polymerization. A fluorinated silica coated hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes nanocomposite (F-MWCNTs-OH@SiO2) was dispersed in PAZ/N-PMI resin to prepare the composite coating samples. The composite coating showed good performance, in which the antibacterial rate of the composite coating against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was >99.98 %. When F-MWCNTs-OH@SiO2 was 3 wt%, the Zf=0.01Hz of the composite coating reached the highest value, which was 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of the PAZ/N-PMI coating. At the same time, the prepared composite coating also exhibited good self-healing properties. This study provides a broad application prospect for the development of high quality marine anti-corrosion and anti-fouling organic coatings.

Synthesis of Waterborne Anticorrosive Coatings Based on The Incorporation of Phosphate Groups to Polyurethane‐Acrylate Hybrids

AbstractIn this work, solvent‐free waterborne polyurethane‐poly(meth)acrylate hybrid dispersions that can be used to formulate anticorrosive paints are synthesized. To achieve the anticorrosive protection, a phosphate containing polymerizable surfactant, Sipomer PAM 200 is incorporated to the hybrids. The presence of phosphate groups can produce an iron phosphate passivation layer to provide coatings with anticorrosive properties. These properties are tested in both mild and harsh corrosive environments. It is observed that when the films are dried at 60% relative humidity conditions, very poor anticorrosive protection is achieved because no phosphatization is obtained, but increasing the humidity to 85% during the drying step allows the formation of the passivation layer providing good anticorrosive properties.

Anticorrosion performance assessment of silane-modified chitosan/epoxy primer coatings on mild steel in saline environment using computational simulation techniques.

The anticorrosion performance of silane-modified chitosan/epoxy primer coatings was evaluated using quantum chemical computations (QCC) and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) techniques. The objective was to appraise the molecular/atomistic level performance of silane-modified chitosan/epoxy primer coating system on mild steel in saline water to be able to design robust anticorrosion epoxy nanocomposite primer coating for marine application. The QCC showed that quantum parameters for (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane-modified chitosan nanocluster (AMCN) are optimum and therefore correspond to high corrosion protective capability. The adsorption energies (Eads) for AMCN/epoxy, tetraethoxysilane-modified chitosan/epoxy, chitosan-modified epoxy, and unmodified epoxy coatings were found to be - 3094.65, - 2,630.00, - 2,305.77, and - 1,189.33kcal/mol, respectively. The high negative value of Eads indicates the coating molecules interacted and adsorbed strongly on the mild steel surface. Hence, AMCN/epoxy coating is potentially most corrosion-resistant than the others. Further, it is established that shorter bond length corresponds to higher bond strength and therefore indicates chemical interaction. Thus, the radial distribution function showed the bond lengths between atoms of the AMCN and mild steel surfaces were shorter than those of other molecules. Overall, AMCN/epoxy coating molecules possess good anticorrosion properties and therefore would perform well if deployed for service in saline environments.

Anti-corrosive non-aqueous DBSA/MEA lamellar liquid crystal lubrication system

HypothesisSince lamellar liquid crystals (LLCS) could be used for lubrication, many LLCS systems have been constructed to improve lubrication performance. However, most studies focused on the LLCS of the water system, and its corrosiveness brought some limitations to its application. Therefore, it is necessary to construct a non-aqueous LLCS system with good lubrication and anti-corrosion properties to improve its applicability. ExperimentsAnionic surfactant dodecyl benzene sulfonic acid (DBSA) was used to construct non-aqueous LLCS in different solvents, including monoethanolamine (MEA) and diethanolamine (DEA). DBSA/H2O LLCS system was constructed for comparison. The LLCS was characterized by polarizing microscope (POM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and rheology. Its microstructure was discussed. Meanwhile, we evaluated the lubrication and anti-corrosion performance of LLCS. Its lubrication mechanism was explained through tribology tests and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) analysis of the wear scar surface. Its anti-corrosion mechanism was investigated by using the weightlessness method, electrochemical test method, and quantum chemical theoretical calculations. FindingsThe DBSA/MEA non-aqueous LLCS system showed better lubrication performance than DBSA/DEA and DBSA/H2O LLCS. It can adsorb on the surface of the friction pair to form a lubrication friction film, which plays a better role in reducing friction and wear. The DBSA/MEA LLCS is less corrosive to metals because it can effectively isolate oxygen and water in the air between friction pairs. Furthermore, the lone pair electrons in the 2p orbital of the N atom in the MEA molecule could coordinate with the 3d empty orbital of the Fe atom, forming a protective film on the metal surface, which plays a good anti-corrosion effect. This work not only enriched the study of non-aqueous LLCS but also expanded its potential applications in the field of lubrication.

Study of superhydrophobic concrete with integral superhydrophobicity and anti-corrosion property

Due to the natural hydrophilicity of concrete, steel reinforced concrete structure is vulnerable to be corroded by chloride ions in marine environment. Fabricating superhydrophobic concrete is a good measure to improve the water repellency of concrete and to prevent steel reinforced corrosion damage by chloride ions. Herein, STA solution was put into fresh mortar to prepare superhydrophobic concrete with good overall hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance. The results indicate that superhydrophobic concrete has stable hydrophobicity under different pH values. Compared with ordinary concrete, the water absorption rate of superhydrophobic concrete is reduced by 30%. Moreover, the ground powder of superhydrophobic concrete also shows hydrophobicity. Furthermore, superhydrophobic concrete has good anti-corrosion property even in the presence of micro cracks. Expectedly, the proposed environmentally-friendly method may have application value in increasing durability and anti-corrosion property of coastal concrete structures.
