Abstract

[Objective]In order to improve the anticorrosive property of alkyd varnish,a cotton-like nano  Co3O4 corrosion inhibitor was prepared.[Methods]The cotton-like nano- Co3O4 was characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray powder diffractometer(XRD) and infrared spectrometer(FT-IR),respectively. The performance of the alkyd coating with the addition of cotton-like nano-Co3O4 was tested by polarization curve,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,salt water immersion corrosion test and water absorption rate test.[Results]The corrosion current density of pure alkyd coating was 42. 24 μA/cm2,and the corrosion current density was 1. 02-1. 56 μA/cm2 when the mass fraction of cotton-like nano- Co3O4 in the varnish was 0. 12%-0. 25%;the composite coating was only slightly corroded,while the pure alkyd coating was very seriously corroded after 20 d salt water immersion corrosion test;the water absorption rate of the composite coating was reduced to about 4%, while the absorption rate of the pure alkyd coating was more than 12%.[Conclusion]The cotton-like  Co3O4 nanomaterial could significantly improve the anticorrosion performance of alkyd varnish.
