Abstract

In this work, the deterioration of a polysiloxane coating containing nano-silica in sterile seawater and seawater inoculated with Pseudomonas was explored. The results of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the decreases in the capacitive loop diameter and the resistance of the coating were significantly higher in seawater inoculated with Pseudomonas than in sterile seawater between 1 and 24 h and between 1 h and 3 days of coating immersion, respectively. These results suggested that Pseudomonas significantly decreased the corrosion resistance of the coating and might decompose the coating after a relatively short period of immersion. However, the single time constant obtained at every immersion time and only one equivalent electrical circuit obtained for both seawater systems revealed that Pseudomonas only slightly decomposed the coating. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed a certain amount of degradation of the coating by Pseudomonas after 30 days of immersion. Additionally, when immersion time was extended, Pseudomonas influenced the capacitive loop diameter and the resistance of the coating slightly. Thus, Pseudomonas had only a slight effect on the corrosion resistance of the coating over long periods of immersion.
