| Description |
Polymer alloys, particularly interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) exhibit excellent coating properties.
Often combination of polymers result in IPNs with controlled morphologies and synergistic behavior.
In this study, corrosion-resistant IPNs were prepared from immiscible resins (epoxy, silicone and thiophene)
using a cross-linking agent and a catalyst. GPC, FTIR, NMR, TG, DTA and SEM studies used to fix
the best performing IPN. Surface morphology studies using SEM confirm the incorporation of silicone
and polythiophene in to the epoxy polymer to form homogeneously micro structured IPN. The heatresistance
of the IPN was determined as per ASTM 2485. The improved corrosion resistance of the IPN
was evaluated by AC impedance measurements
