Corrosion and Mechanical Properties of Organic-Mineral Hybrid Coatings

Hybrid organic-inorganic coating prepared through the process of Sol-Gel have a set of mechanical, chemical properties because of their having organic- inorganic network within their structure. Such coating has been prepared through the processes of hydrolysis and compression exerted upon compounds: GPTMS 3-Glycidoxypropyl methyldiethoxysilane, TEOS Tetraethyl orthosilicate, and also titanium tetra butoxide all in adjacency with the bisphenol A vulcanizator which is aromatic diol. The films provided by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), the bonds created in between silane epoxy compounds and the vulcanizator in addition to the very vulcanizator and oxide layer on the surface of the metal bedding by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) were studied. Because of the prominent role played by nano-particles in corrosion resistance, heat resistance and optical, physical, dynamic-mechanical specifics, six types of samples were provided with the simultaneous investigation into the effects of various percentages of nano-particles over and above their types.
