A self-healing epoxy coating is creatively prepared by employing expired cefalexin loaded into mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) for corrosion protection of 304 stainless steel (304SS). A series of physical characterizations, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, and N adsorption-desorption isotherms, verified that the cefalexin successfully filled porous MSN. The corrosion resistance of the epoxy (EP) coating incorporated with the cefalexin@MSNs is investigated using a Tafel polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) in a 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. It is found that the EP-Cefalexin@MSNs coating has a higher self-corrosion voltage and a lower self-corrosion current density than EP coating. Moreover, the charge transfer resistance (R) value of Cefalexin@MSNs coating is twice that of EP coating after immersion for 24 h, indicating that the cefalexin@MSNs significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of the coating under long-duration immersion. The improved corrosion resistance is attributed to the densified adsorption of the cefalexin inhibiting the cathode corrosion reaction, providing a self-healing long-duration corrosion protection for 304SS.
通过将负载在介孔二氧化硅纳米材料(MSNs)中的过期头孢氨苄用于304不锈钢(304SS)的腐蚀防护,创造性地制备了一种自修复环氧涂层。一系列物理表征,包括透射电子显微镜(TEM)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱仪和N吸附-脱附等温线,证实头孢氨苄成功填充了多孔MSN。在3.5 wt.% NaCl溶液中,使用塔菲尔极化曲线和电化学阻抗谱(EIS)研究了掺入头孢氨苄@MSNs的环氧(EP)涂层的耐腐蚀性。结果发现,EP-头孢氨苄@MSNs涂层比EP涂层具有更高的自腐蚀电位和更低的自腐蚀电流密度。此外,浸泡24小时后,头孢氨苄@MSNs涂层的电荷转移电阻(R)值是EP涂层的两倍,这表明头孢氨苄@MSNs在长时间浸泡下显著提高了涂层的耐腐蚀性。耐腐蚀性的提高归因于头孢氨苄的致密吸附抑制了阴极腐蚀反应,为304SS提供了长期的自修复腐蚀防护。
