pH-Responsive Smart Polymer Nanocomposites for Anti-Corrosive Coatings
Abstract: Metallic corrosion under adverse marine and industrial conditions imposes gigantic financial burdens and risks worldwide. Conventional waterproofing waterborne epoxy has passive barrier protection, but is also inherently microporous, lacking intrinsic repair ability against mechanical damage and thus rapidly decays. This is a critical gap that this work tries to bridge by designing a new pH-responsive hybrid polymer nanocomposite by using polyethyleneimine-tannic acid-cerium functionalized boron nitrate nanosheets with chitosan-capped mesoporous silica …
