Эволюция кремнезема Nanoparticle-полиэфирных покрытий на поверхностях, подверженных солнечному свету
Summary
Два типа поверхностей, полиэстер с покрытием из стали и полиэстера покрыт слоем наночастиц из диоксида кремния, были изучены. Обе поверхности подвергались воздействию солнечного света, который был найден, чтобы вызвать существенные изменения в химии и наноразмерных топографии поверхности.
Abstract
Коррозия металлических поверхностей преобладает в окружающей среде и вызывает серьезную озабоченность во многих областях, в том числе военных, транспортных, авиационных, строительных и пищевой промышленности, среди других. Полиэстер и покрытия , содержащие как полиэфир и наночастицы диоксида кремния (SiO 2 NPS) широко используется для защиты стали от коррозии субстраты. В данном исследовании мы использовали рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии, нарушенного полного отражения инфракрасного микро-спектроскопии, измерения контактного угла воды, оптические профилирование и атомно-силовой микроскопии, чтобы дать представление о том, как воздействие солнечного света может вызвать изменения в микро- и наноразмерных целостности покрытий. Никаких существенных изменений в поверхностном микротопографии не было обнаружено с помощью оптической профилометрии, однако, статистически значимых изменений наноразмерные на поверхности, были обнаружены с помощью атомно-силовой микроскопии. Анализ рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии и нарушенного полного отражения инфракрасного микро-Данные спектроскопии показали , что деградация эфирных групп имели место вследствие воздействия ультрафиолетового света , чтобы сформировать COO ·, -H 2 C ·, -O ·, -CO · радикалы. Во время процесса деградации, СО и СО 2 были также произведены.
Introduction
Environmental corrosion of metals in the environment is both prevalent and costly1-3. A recent study conducted by the Australasian Corrosion Association (ACA) reported that corrosion of metals resulted in a yearly cost of $982 million, which was directly associated with the degradation of assets and infrastructure through metallic corrosion within the water industry4. From an international perspective, the World Corrosion Organization estimated that metallic corrosion was responsible for a direct cost of $3.3 trillion, over 3% of the world’s GDP5. The process of galvanizing as a corrosion preventative method has been widely used to increase the lifespan of steel material6. In humid and subtropical climates, however, water tends to condense into small pockets or grooves within the surface of the galvanized steel, leading to the acceleration of corrosion rates through pit corrosion7,8. Thermosetting polymer coatings based on polyesters have been developed to coat the galvanized steel substrata increasing their ability to withstand humid weathering conditions for items such as satellite dishes, garden furniture, air-conditioning units or agricultural construction equipment9-11. Unfortunately polymer coatings on steel surfaces have been found to be considerably adversely affected by the presence of high levels of ultraviolet (uv) radiation12-14. Coatings comprised of silica nanoparticles (SiO2) spread over a polymer layer have been widely used with a view to increasing their corrosion-, wear-, tear- and degradation-resistance15,16. The tendency of the protective polymeric coatings to form pores and cracks can be reduced by incorporating nanoparticles (NPs), which contribute to the passive obstruction of corrosion initiation17,18. Also, the mechanical stability of the protective polymeric layer can be improved by NPs inclusion. However, these coatings act as passive physical barriers and, in comparison to the galvanization approach, cannot inhibit corrosion propagation actively.
An in-depth understanding of the effect that high-levels of ultraviolet light exposure under humid conditions upon these metal coatings is yet to be obtained. In this paper, a wide range of surface analytical techniques, including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflection infrared micro-spectroscopy (ATR IR), contact angle goniometry, optical profiling and atomic force microscopy (AFM) will be employed to examine the changes in the surface of steel coatings prepared from polyester- and silica nanoparticle-coated polyester (silica nanoparticles/polyester) after exposure to sunlight. Furthermore, the aim of this work is to give a concise, practical overview of the overall characterization techniques to examine weathered samples.

Discussion
Полиэфирные покрытия широко используются для защиты стали субстраты от коррозии, которая имела бы место на непокрытую поверхность вследствие накопления влаги и загрязняющих веществ. Применение полиэфирных покрытий может защитить сталь от коррозии; Однако более долгосрочная эффекти…
