INTRODUCTION
1. Background
Metal and metal alloys are base materials that people have used for a
long time and play an important role in our new world without replacing.
With their own high chemical reactivity, metal and alloys easily are
corrosive in environment, especially in high temperature or electrolyte
solutions which is cause for having high socio-economic impacts, which
translate into substantial costs to the country. According to reports, around
1/3 of the mined metal all over the world cannot using anymore because of
corrosion. In addition to the direct damage that people can calculate,
corrosion of metals can also cause indirect damages such as reducing
machine durability and product quality, causing environmental pollution
and adverse effects to work safety. Therefore, the protection against metal
corrosion from the impact of the aggressive environment is becoming an
extremely pressing issue.
Protecting metal with organic coating has been widely used because
of its effectiveness, ease of processing and reasonable cost. Currently, the
new trend in the field of organic coatings is to find new inhibitors to replace
toxic chromates, creating an environmentally friendly coating, etc.
Nanotechnology has come to life and created tremendous breakthroughs.
Highly reactive pigments with nano dimensions when applied to organic
coatings to protect metal corrosion from concentrations of 2 - 3% show
breakthrough properties. In particular, iron oxides are considered as
pigments used in paint with all colors depending on the type of iron oxide
used, especially Fe3O4 magnetic iron oxide, corrosion protection ability so
far. The mechanism is still unclear.
For the above reasons, we propose the dissertation: “Study on effect
of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on polymer nanocomposite coating for
corrosion protection”

3.1.4. Effect of nanoparticles on corrosion protection of epoxy coating
Corrosion protection of epoxy coating containing 3% wt. particles
was demonstrated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
After 1 hour immersion in 3 % NaCl solution, electrolyte had not
penetrated in the coating yet. After 14 days immersion, the EIS diagram of
pure epoxy coating presented two circles well defined. In the other hand,
EIS diagram of epoxy/ γ-Fe2O3 showed that a third time constant appeared
in the medium frequency range because of the reaction between particles
and epoxy coating. The particles filled the holes in the surface of coating
and prevented the electrochemical process taking place.

After 42 days of immersion, for the epoxy coating containing αFe2O3, the second cycle at low frequencies was determined. The result
showed that α-Fe2O3 play the role of a pigment which increase the barrier
property of coating. The EIS diagram of epoxy coating containing γ-Fe 2O3
are did not change the shape.
After 84 days immersion, impedance value of epoxy coating
containing Fe3O4 was higher than this value of another coatings because of
interacting of particles and oxides appearing at the steel/coating interface.

The increasing of wet adhesion of epoxy coating containing iron
oxides can be explained by the cooperative bonds between the iron oxides
(Fe3O4, α- Fe2O3 or γ-Fe2O3) and the oxide layer at the steel/coating
interface which prevent water penetrated through the coating.

nanoparticles

coating containing 3 % wt. Fe3O4
SEM imagines show the agglomeration of Fe 3O4 particles in epoxy
coating. Therefore modifying surface of particles by organic compounds was
necessary which improved the dispersion of Fe3O4 particles in epoxy matrix. The
particular properties of particles will not be changed in modifying process.

3.2. CHARACTERIZATION OF CORROSION PROTECTION OF
EPOXY CONTAINING Fe3O4 AND MODIFIED Fe3O4
3.2.1. Characterization of corrosion protection of epoxy coating
containing silane modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles
3.2.1.1. Characterization of Fe3O4 nanoparticles modified by silanes
FT-IR analysis

The spectrum of silane modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles presents the

bands at 1120 cm and 1050 cm characteristic of Si-O-Fe and Si-O-Si
groups, respectively. This result indicates that silanes have been
successfully grafted onto the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
DTA/TG analysis
The results showed on DTA curves improved that Fe3O4 nanoparticles
were modified by silanes (APTS, DMPS, TEOS).
Surface potentials of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and silanes modified
Fe3O4 nanoparticles
Figure 3.19. Surface potentials distribution of Fe3O4 and
Fe3O4 modified by silanes: APTS, DMPS và TEOS
The surface potential of Fe3O4 and modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles were
measured in a zeta potential analyzer (Figure 3.19). In the surface potentials
distribution plot of Fe3O4, there were 2 peaks focus on the value at -40 mV
and indicates the average value -21.8 mV. As a result of -OH groups in the
surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles due to the following model: (surface)(–
OH )n . The average surface potential of modified Fe 3O4 with APTS,
DMPS and TEOS are -19.31 mV; -19.05 mV and -18.15 mV, respectively.
10
Therefore, -OH groups on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles had a reaction
with –OH of silane molecules which lead to change in the surface potential
of nanoparticles. The observed zeta potential value shows the less stability
of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

3.2.1.2. Characterization of corrosion protection of epoxy coating
containing silane modified magnetite nanoparticles.
EIS measurements were carried out to evaluate the corrosion
resistance of the carbon steel covered by epoxy coating containing 3% wt.
silane modified magnetite nanoparticles.
Figure 3.21. Nyquist plots
for the epoxy coating containing

After 1 hour immersion in 3 % NaCl solution, the EIS diagram of three
kinds of coatings presented one circle with very high value. After 24 days
immersion, for epoxy coating containing Fe 3O4/TEOS the second cycle at low
frequencies were not determined. When immersion time reach to 42 days, the
EIS diagram of all coatings presented two circles well defined. This indicates
that electrolyte penetrated in the coating and the corrosion process occurred at
metal surface. However, the impedance values of epoxy coating
11
containing silane modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles were high after along
immersion time. This result showed that surface modification by silanes
enhanced protection efficiency of Fe3O4 on epoxy coating.

highest impedance modulus. The best values and best protection were
obtained with the epoxy coating containing Fe3O4/APTS and Fe3O4/TEOS.

The SEM micrographs (figure 3.25 to 3.27) showed that surface

Physical mechanical properties of epoxy coating containing silane
modified Fe3O4
The increasing of wet adherence of epoxy coating containing iron oxide
have the reason that the interaction between iron oxides (Fe 3O4, α- Fe2O3 or
γ-Fe2O3) and iron oxides occur at the surface of carbon steel prevent water
penetrated through the coating.
The pull-off strength of epoxy coating containing Fe 3O4/APTS and
Fe3O4/TEOS increased significantly in comparison with epoxy coating
containing Fe3O4. In wet condition, it observed that adhesive loss of the coating
with Fe3O4/APTS was smallest after 24 hours immersion in water. While this
loss of coating with Fe3O4/TEOS was equal to coating with Fe3O4/DMPS.

To explain these results, we assume that IBA molecules carried
positive charge on N atoms and surface of Fe3O4 particles had negative
charge (The negative charge on the particles surface can be attributed to the
adsorption of -OH group from the alkaline medium during the
hydrothermal reaction). IBA molecules adsorption on Fe3O4 particles

Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In the outside, COO- groups carried negative charge
