Epoxy Resin Modified with PEDOT/PSS and Corrosion Protection of Steel

Abstract:

An epoxy paint containing PEDOT/PSS was described herein. The corrosion behavior of steel samples coated with the paint was investigated in seawater. For this purpose, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was utilized and surface morphology of coatings after corrosion was observed using scanning electron microscope. It was found that the addition of small PEDOT/PSS to the epoxy resin increased its corrosion protection efficiency. Meanwhile, the possible mechanism was discussed.
