Abstract [en]
Coating technology has been emerged as a recognized and cost-effective approach in regard to mitigating issues that are linked to corrosion. We employed in-house synthesized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-CVD) and commercially available nanosized boron nitride (BN-nano) as fillers in this study to fabricate composite coatings with enhanced thermal stability and corrosion resistance. These fillers were dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) resin to develop composite coatings. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were employed to characterize the prepared composite coatings. The FTIR analysis revealed a prominent absorption band around 1350 cm-1 that is indication of the distinctive BN in-plane bending vibrations characteristic of boron nitride (BN). The FESEM images simultaneously confirmed the sheet-like morphology of both BN-nano and BNNS-CVD, which both found to be uniformly dispersed in the PDMS matrix. The EIS revealed that the composite films based on BNNS-CVD exhibited superior corrosion resistance compared to those based on BN-nano when exposed to a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. Further, TGA profiles indicated that the composite films maintained their structural integrity up to 200 °C without degradation. Therefore, thermally stable and corrosion resistant coatings can be valuable for various new technology applications that involve corrosion issues.
