β¦ Synopsis
Polypyrrole (PPy) Al flake composite (PAFC) was synthesized by chemical oxidation of pyrrole in the presence of Al flake and was used to formulate a corrosion inhibiting primer. The anticorrosion performance of the PAFC coating for AA 2024-T3 was evaluated by accelerated salt spray, scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET), galvanic coupling measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The PAFC primer showed an enhanced anticorrosion ability for AA 2024-T3 compared to the Al flake primer and provided cathodic protection for AA 2024-T3 as evidenced by galvanic coupling measurement. A possible corrosion protection mechanism provided by the PAFC and the role of PPy in the formulation were discussed.
