Abstract [en]
Corrosion and wear remain significant challenges for materials, causing substantial economic losses and safety risks. Anti-corrosion and anti-wear coatings provide an effective solution. However, traditional coatings are often fossil-based and contain heavy metals, posing environmental concerns. The drive for eco-friendly coatings has led to the exploration of green materials. This study combined lignin, an abundant organic material, and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a known hydrophobic material, to address the challenges. Organosolv lignin was functionalised with (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES), then chemically grafted on PDMS for the final coating synthesis. The optimised coating achieved through an eco-friendly process, exhibiting enhanced hydrophobicity and barrier properties, showing excellent long-term corrosion resistance in NaCl solution. The optimal coating formulation contained 15 wt% lignin and 40 wt% PDMS, demonstrating a high corrosion resistance (measured impedance of 1010 Ω·cm2), which remains effective even after 3 weeks of immersion in 1 M NaCl solution. This coating also showed good wear resistance, with a low friction coefficient evident from nano scratch tests.
