When a single inorganic precursor is used for the synthesis of a sol-gel coating, there is a problem of cracking on the surface of coating layer. In order to solve this problem of surface cracking, we synthesized inorganic-organic coatings that have hybrid properties of inorganic and organic materials. Sols of various ratios (1:0.07, 0.2, 0.41, 0.82, 1.64, 3.26, 6.54, 13.2) of an inorganic precursor of Tetrabutylorthotitanate ($Ti(OBu)_4$, TBOT) and an organic precursor of ${\gamma}$-Methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane (MAPTS) were prepared and coated on stainless steels (SUS316L) by dip coating method. The binding structure and the physical properties of the synthesized coatings were analyzed by FT-IR, FE-SEM, FIB (Focused Ion Beam), and a nano-indenter. Dynamic polarization testing and EIS (electrical impedance spectroscopy) were carried out to evaluate the micro-defects and the corrosion properties of the coatings. The prepared coatings show hybrid properties of inorganic oxides and organic materials. Crack free coatings were prepared when the MAPTS ratio was above a critical value. As the MAPTS ratio increased, the thickness and the corrosion resistance increased, and the hardness decreased.

Organic coatings are widely used to control of the corrosion of a steel structure. The water in coatings may cause the coatings to swell, leading to the degradation of the coatings. In addition, water affects the permeation of oxygen and other corrosive agents, and consequently, the presence of such substances at coating-metal interface promotes corrosion of the metal substrate. In this study, the anticorrosive properties of 4 types of coating, such as epoxy-epoxy, epoxy-urethane, urethane-epoxy, urethane-urethane, were evaluated. The evaluation tests were conducted under cyclic water-absorption/desorption conditions, consisting of alternative exposure to diluted 0.001M-LiCl(a$H_2O$≒1) and concentrated 10M-LiCl(a$H_2O$≒0.15). The anticorrosive performance of coatings was found to decrease in the order of urethane-urethane > urethane-epoxy > epoxy-epoxy coating.

The toxicity of chromium that is used to impart corrosion resistance to galvanized steel created environmental and health-related concerns and generated a great deal of interest in developing chrome-free treatment coatings. In the present work, organic-inorganic composite coatings were used to coat electrogalvanized steel (EG) sheets for corrosion protection without degrading its weldability property. The new coatings composed of specially modified polyurethane dispersion hybridized with silicate and unique inorganic-organic inhibitors were developed during this work. It was found that about $1{\mu}m$ thickness of coating layer is secure enough in corrosion resistance of flat and formed part even after alkaline degreasing. Overall chemical resistances including fingerprint resistance and paint adhesion property were satisfied with the test specification of Sony technical standard of SS-00260-2002. Therefore, it is concluded that the newly developed chrome-free product can replace the conventional chromated product.

Current coating practice requires the thickness of anti-corrosion organic coatings to be over $250{\mu}m$ for immersion parts of ships and offshore structures and the corrosion resistance of these coatings has been evaluated by destructive and qualitative analysis. Recently, Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy(EIS) method has been employed, as an alternative, to evaluate corrosion resistance of organic coatings. This method is characterized as being nondestructive, reproducible, and quantitative in evaluating aging of organic coatings. In this study, EIS method was adopted to quantitatively and effectively select the coating systems having optimized protective performance. Evaluations of several epoxy and epoxy/polyurethane coating systems typically used for ships and offshore structures were carried out in wet($50^{\circ}C$, $90^{\circ}C$) and dry(room temp.) environments to accelerate the degradation of the organic coatings. These results were compared with the conventional scribed(scratched) test results. The plausible prediction model for determining the remaining life-time of coating systems was also proposed based on variations of impedance data, FT-IR and $T_g$ measurements results.

일반적으로 코팅은 철근 콘크리트를 보호하기 위한 방법으로 사용되어 진다. 이러한 목적으로 사용되어지는 코팅에는 무기계 코팅뿐만 아니라 유기계 코팅이 있다. 무기계 코팅의 장점은 낮은 자외선 투과성과 불연성 등이다. 반면, 유기계 코팅의 장점은 이산화탄소, 이산화황 및 물 등의 낮은 투과성이며 무기계 코팅보다 더 우수한 철근 콘크리트 보호성능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 에폭시, 우레탄 및 아크릴과 같은 유기계 코팅은 여러 가지 원인에 의해 장기 접착강도가 감소되고 형성된 코팅 막의 들뜸이 발생된다. 또한 유기계 코팅이 콘크리트의 습한 표면에 적용될 경우 접착의 문제점을 갖고 있다. 따라서, 콘크리트 구조물을 보호하고 유기계 코팅의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 폴리머와 시멘트계 재료를 합성시킨 코팅재(WGS-Eco)를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 코팅재와 이전에 사용되었던 코팅재의 물리 성능 및 내구 성능을 평가하였으며, 그 결과 개발된 코팅재는 유기계 코팅재에 비해 성능이 뒤떨어지지 않았다. 따라서 개발된 코팅재는 유기계와 무기계 코팅의 장점을 갖으면서 콘크리트를 보호하기 위한 적합한 코팅재라고 판단되었다.

일반적으로 코팅은 철근 콘크리트를 보호하기 위해 사용되어지며, 이러한 목적으로 사용되어지는 코팅에는 무기계 뿐만 아니라 유기계 코팅이 있다. 무기계 코팅의 장점은 자외선 흡수성이 적고 불연성이라는 것이며, 반면 유기계 코형의 장점은 $CO_2, SO_2$투과성 및 물의 투수성이 낮으며, 철근 콘크리트의 보호능력은 유기계 코팅이 더 우수하다. 그러나 에폭시, 우레탄 및 아크릴과 같은 유기계 코팅은 콘크리트와의 열팽창계수와 탄성계수 차이로 인해 장기 접착강도가 저하되고, 통기성이 부족하여 형성된 막에 들뜸이 발생된다. 또한 유기계 코팅이 콘크러트의 습윤면에 적용될 경우에는 접착의 문제가 발생된다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트를 보호하기 위해 폴리머와 세라믹을 합성시켜 개발된 코팅제의 물리 성능과 내구 성능 및 용출 안전성에 대한 시험을 하였다. 개발된 코팅계에 대하여 유기계 코팅재 및 에폭시와 비교하였으며, 시험결과 개발된 코팅재는 콘크리트를 보호하기 위한 유기계 코팅재에 비해 성능이 떨어지지 않았고, 반면 용출 안전성 측면에서는 에폭시보다 더 우수함을 보였다. 특히 물과 접해 있는 지하 콘크리트구조물을 보호하는 데에 적합하며, 무기계와 유기계 코팅재의 장점을 갖은 콘크리트 보호용 코팅재라고 판단된다.

Single $TiO_2$ coating prepared by sol-gel process usually experiences cracks in coating layer. In order to prevent cracks, an inorganic-organic hybrid $TiO_2-SiO_2$ coating was synthesized by combining precursors with an organic functional group. Five different coatings with various ratios of (1:8, 1:4, 1:1, 1:0.25 and 1:0.125) titanium alkoxide (TBOT, Tetrabutylorthotitanate) to organo-alkoxysilane (MAPTS, ${\gamma}$-Methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane) on carbon steel substrate were made by sol-gel dip coating. The prepared coatings were analyzed to study the coating properties (surface crack, thickness, composition) by scanning electron microscope (SEM), focused ion beam (FIB), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Potentiodynamic polarization tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also performed to evaluate the corrosion characteristics of the coatings. Crack free $TiO_2-SiO_2$ hybrid coatings were prepared with the optimization of the ratio of TBOT to MAPTS. The corrosion rates were significantly decreased in the coatings for the optimized precursor ratio without cracks.

Inorganic ion exchange compounds (IECs) including hydrotalcites and bentonite clays are a well known classes of layered mixed metal hydroxides or silicates that demonstrate ion exchange properties. These compounds have a range of applications from water purification to catalyst supports. The use of synthetic versions of these compounds as environmentally friendly additives to paints for storage and release of inhibitors is a new and emerging application. In this paper, the general concept of storage and release of inhibiting ions from IEC-based particulate pigments added to organic coatings is presented. The unique aspects of the IEC structure and the ion exchange phenomenon that form the basis of the storage and release characteristic are illustrated in two examples comprising an anion exchanging hydrotalcite compound and a cation exchanging bentonite compound. Examples of the levels of corrosion protection imparted by use of these types of pigments in organic coatings applied to aluminum alloy substrates is shown. How corrosion inhibition translates to corrosion protection during accelerated exposure testing by organic coatings containing these compounds is also presented.

Embedded sensors were used as an in-situcorrosion-sensing device for aircraft and vehicular structures protected by organic coatings. Results are presented changes associated with a standard Airforce aircraft coating and a standard Army vehicle coating were monitored by embedded sensors. These coatings consisted of a polyurethane topcoat and an epoxy primer, however are formulated to provide different characteristics. The ac-dc-ac testing method was used to accelerate the degradation of these coatings while being immersed in a NaCl medium. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and electrochemical noise measurement experiments were used to monitor the induced changes. A comparison of the results between coatings subjected to the ac-dc-ac exposure and coatings subjected to only constant immersion in the NaCl medium is presented. The results were used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ac-dc-ac method at accelerating the degradation of an organic coating without observably changing the normal mechanism of degradation. The data highlights the different features of the coating systems and tracks them while the coating is being degraded. The aircraft coating was characterized by a high-resistant topcoat that can mask corrosion/primer degradation at the primer/substrate interface whereas the vehicle coating was characterized by a low-resistant topcoat with an effective corrosion inhibiting primer. Details of the ac-dc-ac degradation were evaluated by using an equivalent circuit to help interpret the electrochemical impedance data.
