Abstract:Polyaniline(PANI) grafting SiO2(SiO2@PANI) sol was synthesized with aniline and SiO2 which modified by (3-glycidoxypropyl)-trimethoxylsilane(GPTMS), and prepared SiO2@PANI/VTMS composite sol after in situ embedding with vinyl trimethoxysilane(VTMS). The effects of reaction temperature and initiator dosage on the dispersion stability, particle size, contact angle and corrosion resistance of SiO2@PANI and coatings were discussed. The structure and morphology of SiO2@PANI were characterize by Fourier transform infrared spectrum(FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and so on. The results showed that it is favorable for aniline to polymerize homogeneously on the surface of SiO2 by the reaction between the amino group and epoxy group, and obtained core-shell type SiO2@PANI sol with SiO2 as core and PANI as shell. The SiO2@PANI sol has good dispersion stability in water and conductivity. The SiO2@PANI/VTMS composite sol prepared by SiO2@PANI could form hydrophobic coatings by coat it on the surface of magnesium-lithium (Mg-Li) alloy directly. The coatings have a high hydrophobic contact angle which reached 135.7°, and have excellent corrosion resistance performance to Mg-Li alloy which the electrochemical impedance value is 2.5×104 Ω•cm2 and the corrosion current density is merely 7.51×10-7 A/cm2.
