Abstract

In this study, synthesized magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were treated with a corrosion inhibitor, indole-3 butyric acid (IBA) and incorporated in an epoxy-polyamide coating. The coating was applied on a carbon steel substrate. For comparison, coatings without particles or with nontreated Fe3O4 particles were also prepared. The IBA-modified nanomagnetite (IBA–Fe3O4) was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and Zeta potential measurements. The inhibitive action of IBA was shown by electrochemical measurements (polarization curves) performed for a bare carbon steel in 0.1 M NaCl solution containing Fe3O4 or IBA–Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Adherence and anticorrosion properties of the epoxy-based coatings containing Fe3O4 or IBA–Fe3O4 were compared to those of the pure epoxy-polyamide resin by dry and wet adherence measurements and by salt spray test. The results showed significant improvement of the film adherence and higher corrosion protection of the carbon steel in the presence of IBA–Fe3O4. It was concluded that the IBA effect was restricted to the metal/coating interface.
