Abstract
This work aims to develop multilayer coating systems to enhance the long-term corrosion performance of aluminium-based components. The systems consists of a high-performance ceramic matrix that provides physical barrier protection, and a topcoat layer containing encapsulated Ce-based inhibitors, offering active corrosion protection through controlled released mechanisms. Two types of nanoparticles were used for the encapsulation, zeolite and halloysite nanotubes, each with different release triggers and kinetics. Multifunctional coatings demonstrated a superior corrosion performance compared to the passive unmodified coatings. Inhibitor release from the nanoparticles was triggered by ionic exchange processes and changes in pH associated with corrosion activity.
期刊介绍:
npj Materials Degradation considers basic and applied research that explores all aspects of the degradation of metallic and non-metallic materials. The journal broadly defines ‘materials degradation’ as a reduction in the ability of a material to perform its task in-service as a result of environmental exposure.
The journal covers a broad range of topics including but not limited to:
-Degradation of metals, glasses, minerals, polymers, ceramics, cements and composites in natural and engineered environments, as a result of various stimuli
-Computational and experimental studies of degradation mechanisms and kinetics
-Characterization of degradation by traditional and emerging techniques
-New approaches and technologies for enhancing resistance to degradation
-Inspection and monitoring techniques for materials in-service, such as sensing technologies
