Polyamide nanofibers coating by electrospinning technique for anti corrosion behavior

Abstract EN

Poly amide (PA-6) nanofiber coatings on aluminum surface using electrospinning technique under two different voltage (24 kV & 34 Kv) were prepared.

The coating morphology , roughness and 3D structural properties tested by using Atomic force microscopes (AFM), surface characterized by (SEM) microscopy, and high resolution optical microscopy (HROM) , Contact angle for hydrophobic behavior was tested by shape drop analyzer , and FTIR analysis for changing in crystalline structure was performed .The AFM images showed that the PA coating on the aluminum surface have a tight and twisted nanofiber structure with some beads through its morphology.

SEM images shows the morphology beads of surface nanofibers .

The electrochemical corrosion of aluminum without and with PA coating studied by subjected it to aerobic solutions of 3.5 wt.% sodium chloride (NaCl) .

It has been found that the PA coatings decrease the corrosion currents and corrosion rate as well as increase the corrosion resistance for aluminum in the NaCl solution .
