Development of new anticorrosion coatings based on the combination of suitable waterborne polymeric binders and corrosion inhibitors

This thesis aimed to study the anticorrosive properties of new environmentally friendly cinnamate based corrosion inhibitors as free inhibitors in solution, and their incorporation into waterborne polymeric latexes by different techniques such as emulsion, miniemulsion, and dispersion polymerization. The effectiveness of the obtained coatings for mitigation of corrosion of mild steel surfaces was investigated by electrochemical analysis.<p></p>
