DESY experiment - nano tomography of LDH coatings
DesyExperimente2023-C.Rocha
An experiment titled “Leaching by design: synergy between smart nanocontainers and inorganic extenders for active corrosion protection of AA2024” have been successfully carried out by VIPCOAT team on June 09-12. The important results on 3D microstructure images of new coating systems have been collected using SR-nano-CT at PO5 station of DESY. The image data gained in this experiment yields valuable structural information, in particular on LDH structures with a corrosion inhibitor. The experiment supported the improvement of the leaching kinetics understanding for coatings included LDH nano containers. The focus was on collecting knowledge on how the leaching kinetics can be controlled by designing the coating microstructure by introducing soluble extenders to facilitate the formation of interconnected pathways. Five coating systems were investigated: Reference coating with LDH at 10% PVC (pigment volume concentration) without soluble extenders and coatings containing LDH at 10% PVC and two different soluble extenders with 10% and 20% PVC of each one.
