Abstract

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is an extensively used biodegradable polymer including corrosion inhibition, but it fails to withstand long time protection due to water solubility. The present work emphasized an efficient way to transform PVA to hydrophobic nature and further modification for corrosion protection of mild steel (MS). In this backdrop, PVA was blended with varying amounts of the synthesized amine-functionalized graphene oxide (AGO) and then assimilated with the epoxidized linseed oil (ELO). The fabricated composite material was coated on MS surface by the doctor's blade technique, and their adhesion character, roughness, wettability, and sus-tainability in saline media were confirmed by atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle, and electro-chemical techniques. The chemical bonding as well as structural interactions of the prepared AGO were ascertained by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements of the PVA coatings showed improved Nyquist semicircle diameter by increasing the AGO content, and the potentiometric polari-zation (PP) data supports the EIS results. The different weight percentages of AGO dispersed PVA/ELO composite coatings revealed enormous changes in their Nyquist, Bode, and phase angle plots. The highest impedance and charge transfer resistance of PVA/ELO-AGO (0.25 wt%) coating are found to be 10(8.6) omega cm(2) and 4.541 x 10(8) omega cm(2), respectively. Further, the composite coating was sustained for 20 days in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution showing its enhanced barrier property. This can be ascribed due to the strong cross-linkages in PVA/ELO-AGO that makes it a durable and promising anti-corrosion coating material.
