RESUMO

In this work, polyaniline (PAni) blends and composites were obtained on platinum (Pt) and stainless steel (AISI-304) substrates. The effects of chemical and electrochemical syntheses were studied in different aqueous media. PAni blends and composites were prepared from aniline monomer-containing solutions of H3PO, that contained different concentrations of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) or dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid (DBSA). For the formation of polymeric films on Pt and steel AISI-304 electrodes, cyclic voltammetry was the technique employed and the effect of monomer, CMC and DBSA concentration on both the process characteristics and the resultant material were investigated. Chemical polymerization was performed at 20 C, in the presence of an oxidizing agent [(NH4)2S2O8] and potentiometric and calorimetric curves were obtained, which permitted the characterization of the synthesis. The resultant polymeric materials were characterized by their electrochemical response, ultraviolet (UV-VIS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopies, conductivity measurements, scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), film composition analysis by energy dispersive ray-x spectroscopy (EDS) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). From the polymer characterization, the results demonstrate the differences between the PAni polymers due to CMC concentration used in the polymerization, which influences both the polymerization rate and the physical and chemical properties of the PAni-CMC composite. The interaction between PAni and CMC occurs by hydrogen bonding, and the structure of the PAni-CMC film depends strongly on the CMC concentration. There are significant differences between the electropolymerization process of PAni-DBSA films on Pt and that on steel AISI-304, resulting in different the physical and chemical properties of the respective polymers. Structurally, the PAni-DBSA films electropolymerized on steel AISI-304 are more porous and present greater electroactivity due to an oxide layer formed during the electropolymerization. From corrosion assays, which involved performing open circuit potential and potentiodynamic curves in NaCl, the viability of application of PAni-CMC and PAni-DBSA films electropolymerized on steel AISI-304 electrodes was analyzed. For the PAni-CMC films on steel AISI-304 a significant change in the film composition occurred after the corrosion assays. On the other hand the corrosion protection of steel AISI-304 covered with PAni-DBSA is dependent on the film thickness. The electrochemical parameters extracted from the potentiodynamic curves demonstrate that both films protect stainless steel against corrosion. Furthermore, the corrosion studies show that PAni-CMC and PAni- DBSA films are viable alternatives to the conventionally used corrosion protection films.
