Investigation of parameters governing the corrosion protection efficacy of fusion bonded epoxy coatings
… through the application of fusion bonded epoxy coatings. The purpose of this study was to investigate various coating and exposure parameters to determine their effects on the corrosion of reinforcing steel. The parameters investigated were: chloride content at the bar depth, coated bar …

In-situ early detection of metal corrosion via "turn-on" fluorescence in "smart" epoxy coatings
<p>Organic coatings (e.g., epoxy coatings) have been widely used to protect metal and metal alloys against corrosion. However protective coating fails with time, leading to corrosion of the metal substrate. When localized corrosion occurs, without being detected, it can result in disastrous failure …

Processing and Properties of Hybrid Silane-Epoxy Nanocomposite Coatings
… the properties of hybrid organoclay composites coatings and membranes. The control material used in this study is water based epoxy ester due to its low volatile organic content and better corrosion resistance than the epoxy resins. The use of epoxy ester is limited by its poor mechanical …

GFRP reinforced concrete : environmental and movement characteristics
… methods such as cathodic protection, epoxy coatings, concrete additives, etc., have been tried. Unfortunately, non of these methods has totally solved the corrosion problem. The outstanding characteristics of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) suggest that these materials may be the …

Ion sequestration particles for naval anticorrosion coatings
… The Navy is sponsoring the development of novel coatings and additives that can be used to decrease the rising corrosion related costs.</p><p>This dissertation describes in detail the synthesis of Ion Sequestration Particles (ISP) that when added to the standard MIL-DTL-24441 or potentially …

Synthesis and characterization of functional polymers with controlled architecture and their application as anticorrosion primers
… are subjected to very corrosive conditions. Epoxy based protective coatings are used by the Navy for minimizing corrosion and they currently offer five to seven years of protection. The work described in this thesis is in line with a major program instigated by the U.S. Navy to improve the …

Producing Data to Support the Detection and Understanding of Early On-Set Corrosion in Accelerated Weathering
… two main fluorescent probes into a few model epoxy and/or urethane coatings to detect X and Y axis specific pH changes occurring upon and above the substrate during pre-macroscopic corrosion. The primary fluorophore used was fluorescein, a pH sensitive probe capable of detecting the changes, …

Sensitivity of Half-Cell Potential Measurements to Properties of Concrete Bridge Decks
… temperature, and presence or condition of epoxy coating on half-cell potential measurements of concrete bridge decks typical of those in Utah. The laboratory testing associated with this research followed a full-factorial experimental design. Nine rectangular concrete slab specimens were …

Flash heating of epoxy-based corrosion inhibitor thin films on aluminum substrates
… study of a transient heat load focused onto epoxy-polyamide primer which is used as a corrosion inhibitor coating. The thermal degradation initiation temperature of the epoxy polyamide film increased with increasing heating rates. This coating is a high solids epoxy primer manufactured by …

Microcapsule-based self-protecting coatings
… elements. More recently, self-protective coatings have been introduced using microencapsulated anti-corrosion chemicals and compounds that are released on demand at the site of active corrosion. Once triggered via capsule release, the passive coating later is activated thereby intervening …

Stimuli-responsive microcapsules for self-protecting and self-healing material systems
… of metal-based compounds in protective polymeric coatings on metal substrates. Stimuli-responsive microcapsules enhance protection abilities by autonomously responding to corrosion-induced environmental changes. pH-responsive microcapsules are reported with triggered release over a wide range of …
