This study investigated the effect of the electric field on the properties of a chitosan-molybdenum composite coating obtained by electrophoretic deposition. The results showed that the composite coatings exhibited different morphologies and increased corrosion resistance of 1020 steel in NaCl medium. The findings suggest the potential application of chitosan-based composite materials in protecting metal structures against corrosion.
In this paper, the effect of the electric field on the properties of a new chitosan-molybdenum (Chit-Mo) composite coating obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was investigated. The composite coatings obtained showed different morphologies depending on the conditions used during the deposition process. Chemical composition results and microstructure analysis showed homogeneous distribution of molybdenum in a chitosan matrix. Corrosion test results showed that the Chit-Mo composite coatings can increase corrosion resistance of 1020 steel in NaCl medium (3.5 %). The coatings obtained at 5 V, pH 5.5, and using a low concentration of reagents (suspension 1: chitosan 0.5 g/L and 1 mM sodium molybdate) reached an inhibition efficiency of up to 76.7 %. Therefore, the results obtained in this work prove the achievement of a new class of chitosan-based composite materials with potential application in the protection of metal structures against corrosion.
