Abstract

Silica (SiO2-r) rods were fabricated through the cationic surfactant of (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and ferric chloride (FeCl3) used as an oxidant / structure-directing agent. The SiO2-r rods were incorporated into the acrylic-based matrix to provide better corrosion protection on mild steel. Tests, such as particle size, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, were performed to analysis the surface morphology and properties. Corrosion protection and coating durability were analyzed by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in 3% NaCl solution. Results indicated that the addition of SiO2-r rods improved the corrosion resistance of the acrylic coating matrix.
