Abstract

[Objective]To solve the problem of rapid failure of acrylic polyurethane coating after defects or local damage.[Methods] This study employed a one-pot synthesis strategy to in situ polymerize pyrrole(PPy) onto the surface of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)-modified graphene,producing Gr-PPy nanoparticles for incorporation into acrylic polyurethane anticorrosion coatings. The microstructure and composition of Gr-PPy nanoparticles were characterized using scanning electron microscopy(SEM),Raman spectroscopy,and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The corrosion resistance of the coatings was evaluated via electrochemical impedancespectroscopy(EIS) and neutral salt spray(NSS) tests.[Results] The acrylic polyurethane coating modified with Gr-PPy powder(PPY)exhibited significantly enhanced corrosion resistance. Notably, the PPY3 coating demonstrated optimal corrosion resistance:after 42 days of immersion in 3. 5%NaCl solution,its impedance modulus at 0. 01 Hz remained at 5. 3×1010 Ω ·cm2,and it showed the least severe corrosion after 672 hours of NSS test.[Conclusion]The excellent anticorrosion performance of the PPY3 coating was attributed to the synergistic effects of the physical barrier provided by impermeable graphene sheets and the passivation induced by PPy.
