Performance Evaluation of Layered Double Hydroxides Containing Benzotriazole and Nitrogen Oxides as Autonomic Protection Particles against Corrosion

[摘要] Layered double hydroxides (LDH) are lamellar structures with positively charged laminates and charge-compensating interlayer anions. The ion-exchange capacity of LDHs makes them as promising hosts for corrosion inhibitor anions with stimulus-responsive release and self-healing anticorrosion. In the current work, LDHs loaded with two different corrosion inhibitors (nitrogen oxides and benzotriazole) were evaluated for their ion-exchange capacity and autonomic protection against corrosion on carbon steel. Studies on nitrogen oxide-loaded LDH (NO x -LDH) showed that nitrogen oxides were successfully intercalated in LDH structure, which were released in chloride media. Open Circuit Potential (OCP) results showed that NO x -LDH extract shifted OCP to nobler values, indicating the protection of metal. For benzotriazole-loaded LDH (BTZ-LDH), the results indicated the presence of benzotriazole in the structure, but its release was not observed. OCP results showed no significant increase of carbon steel protection, corroborating with the conclusion that benzotriazole ions did not migrate to metal surface. Considering these results, the insertion of NO x -LDH in an automotive primer was proceeded, under three different concentrations (0.2. 1.0, and 3.0%). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showed that the more effective NO x -LDH concentration on corrosion delay was 0.2%, which better balanced protection level conferred by LDH with a possible loss on effectiveness of coating due to increase in porosity.
