Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Anti-Corrosive Polymer Materials” aims to advance the field of corrosion science by providing a dedicated platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest discoveries and advancements in polymer materials designed to combat corrosion. This Special Issue covers both metallic and non-metallic corrosion, addressing various aspects from theoretical studies to practical applications. It encompasses developing and characterizing novel anti-corrosive polymer materials, investigating corrosion mechanisms and innovative methods for control, exploring surface science and engineering principles, evaluation techniques for performance and durability, real-world applications in diverse industries, and considerations of environmental impact and sustainability. This Special Issue promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange among metallurgists, materials scientists, and corrosion researchers by bringing together original research articles, critical reviews, and case studies. Ultimately, the goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, offering valuable insights and resources to facilitate the development and utilization of anti-corrosive polymer materials for effective corrosion prevention and control.

In this study, an anti-corrosive pigment was synthesized by modifying calcium carbonate with sodium alginate (SA), and smart self-healing coatings were synthesized by reinforcing the anti-corrosive pigments into a polyolefin matrix.

Corrosion-related damage incurs significant capital costs in many industries. In this study, an anti-corrosive pigment was synthesized by modifying calcium carbonate with sodium alginate (SA), and smart self-healing coatings were synthesized by reinforcing the anti-corrosive pigments into a polyolefin matrix. Structural changes during the synthesis of the anti-corrosive pigment were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Moreover, thermal gravimetric analysis confirmed the loading of the corrosion inhibitor, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic analysis revealed a stable impedance value, confirming the improved corrosion resistance of the modified polyolefin coatings. The incorporation of the anticorrosive pigment into a polyolefin matrix resulted in improved pore resistance properties and capacitive behavior, indicating a good barrier property of the modified coatings. The formation of a protective film on the steel substrate reflected the adsorption of the corrosion inhibitor (SA) on the steel substrate, which further contributed to enhancing the corrosion resistance of the modified coatings. Moreover, the formation of the protective film was also analyzed by profilometry and elemental mapping analysis. Full article

Marine propellers work under severe service conditions, where they commonly suffer from mechanical, electrochemical, and biological corrosion damage. The major mechanical corrosion involves cavitation, erosion, and impingement corrosion. On the other hand, the major electrochemical corrosion involves galvanic corrosion and electrolysis. As a result, consideration of both desired mechanical and electrochemical properties is necessary when designing a marine propeller coating. In this study, a PVB (polyvinyl butyral) and an epoxy coating were formulated without corrosion inhibitors to investigate the desired coating properties for marine propeller applications. The two coatings were compared with a Cr-containing commercial marine propeller coating to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of using PVB and epoxy for marine propeller coatings. It was found that it is desirable for marine propeller coatings to be flexible to avoid cracking and flaking; to be able to withstand high pH in order to resist cathodic disbondment (electrolysis); to have adequate primer–substrate adhesion; and, ideally, to be able to self-heal when the coating is damaged (cavitation). It was found that the PVB-ZO coating has more desirable properties, and introducing self-healing properties could be one of the options for further optimization in the future. Full article
