Abstract

Understanding the corrosion inhibition behavior of super-amphiphobic coating is important to ensure practicability in the real application. 2 layers system of super-amphiphobic coating was successfully developed using functionalized nano-Al2O3 incorporated in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). This study investigates the effect of different amount of functionalizing agent on the coating’s repellency and its relationship toward the corrosion inhibition behavior. We found that a higher amount of fluoroalkylsilane (FAS) led to a decreased in repellency of both water and oil. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis suggests that the synergetic effect between super-hydrophobicity, longer diffusion path, and barrier effect; enhanced the corrosion resistance. Although the coatings demonstrate similar behavior, the most superhydrophobic/amphiphobic coating C1 offers the highest corrosion protection.
