Abstract

The polyaniline/nanodiamond (PANI/ND) nanocomposite coating was prepared on mild steel via electrochemical polymerization using cyclic voltammetry technique. The ultrasonic irradiation was used for effectively dispersing ND particles in electropolymerization solution. The prepared nanocomposite films were found to be nano-colloidal, and very adherent with low porosity. The corrosion performance of the coatings was investigated in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and polarization methods. The obtained results showed that the presence of ND particles significantly enhanced the corrosion protection performance of the PANI films in 0.5 M H2SO4 corrosive medium. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR techniques confirmed the intercalation of the nanoparticles in PANI matrix.
