    Study Notes

    Assessing the Effect of CeO2 Nanoparticles as Corrosion Inhibitors

    • CeO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into waterborne binders with high biobased content (up to 70%) to evaluate their anticorrosion performance for direct-to-metal coatings.
    • Biobased binders were synthesized by batch miniemulsion polymerization of 2-octyl acrylate and isobornyl methacrylate monomers using a phosphate polymerizable surfactant (Sipomer PAM200).
    • This process resulted in phosphate-functionalized latexes.
    • The functionalized polymer particles interacted with steel, creating a phosphatization layer, preventing flash rust.
    • CeO2 nanoparticles were homogeneously distributed in the polymer film.
    • Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements showed significant anticorrosion performance for steel substrates coated with the hybrid polymer film (30-40 µm thick).
    • After 41 days (approximately 1000 hours) of immersion in NaCl water solution, the coatings exhibited high barrier corrosion resistance.
    • The CeO2 nanoparticles demonstrated active inhibition capabilities.
    • This work demonstrated a sustainable hybrid anticorrosion waterborne coating using bio-based monomers.

    Materials and Methods

    • Materials: Isosorbide methacrylate (IBOMA), 2-octyl acrylate (2-OA), azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), Sipomer PAM200, octadecyl acrylate, CeO2 nanoparticles, and steel substrates were used.
    • Synthesis: Two types of latexes were prepared: 1) Bioacrylic, and 2) CeO2-Bioacrylic, by batch miniemulsion polymerization (recipe in Table 1).
    • Characterization: Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) was used to measure the z-average diameter of miniemulsion droplets and final polymer particles. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analyzed the morphology of the final latex particles and cryo-sections of coatings.

    Results and Discussion

    • Latex and Film Characterization: Latexes were characterized. No significant difference in average size between initial miniemulsion droplets and final polymer particles was observed, indicating successful miniemulsion polymerization. Analysis showed CeO2 nanoparticles distributed well in polymers but some coagulation was noted in Bioacrylic-CeO2 films.
    • Water Sensitivity: Water uptake values and contact angle measurements were recorded over time. The hybrid film showed similar hydrophobicity to the non-CeO2 containing film.
    • Corrosion Properties: EIS tests were carried out to analyze the impact of CeO2 nanoparticles. The hybrid film exhibited better barrier properties than the non-CeO2 film, with a more stable response through 41 days of exposure to NaCl solution.
    • Defects and Additional analysis: Artificial defects in both types of films were created with a laser to analyze behavior in those zones. This analysis also supported the role of CeO2 nanoparticles in enhancing the anticorrosion properties.
