Abstract

Polyaniline containing organic coatings based on vinyl and acrylic resins are found to protect iron in acid and neutral media. Since dopants play an important role in forming salts with iron, a study has been made on the effect of benzoate doped polyaniline on the corrosion protection of iron by polyaniline–vinyl coatings in acid and neutral media. EIS studies have been made on the corrosion protection performance of vinyl coating on steel with 1% polyaniline in 0.1N HCl and 3%NaCl up to 100 days of exposure. It has been found that benzoate doped polyaniline containing coating has found to offer more protection in neutral media than that in acidic media due to passivating ability of benzoate ions in neutral solution, along with iron–polyaniline complex.
