Abstract

Current work introduces the silane/acrylate hybrid coating system through sol–gel technique for anti-corrosive application. 3-Aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) was modified using glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) termed AG, followed by polymerization with different acrylates using corresponding molar ratios to obtain hybrid polysiloxane networks termed AGBA, AGEA, AGBMA and AGMMA obtained from different acrylic monomers such as butyl acrylate (BA), ethyl acrylate (EA), butyl methacrylate (BMA), and methyl methacrylate (MMA), respectively. The structures of precursors and hybrid coating systems were confirmed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The final products were applied onto the mild-steel panels, and the coating performance, like chemical, physical, and surface properties, was checked according to the ASTM standards. The thermal properties of the polymeric films were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Salt spray and Tafel extrapolation tests were carried out for the systems’ anti-corrosive study. The TGA result of AGMMA suggests that it cannot be used in high-temperature coating applications. The mechanical properties of the coatings suggest that the two monomers (EA and MMA) give an excellent performance in terms of hardness, while flexibility was the issue that could be attributed to the nature of the monomers. The precursor AG modified with methyl methacrylate (MMA), having the value of  – 8.049 mm/year, was found to be more anti-corrosive among all the hybrid coatings.
