Abstract
As polypyrrole (Ppy) has unique doping and dedoping characteristics, the new nano-materials redoped and doped Ppy composites with special anti-corrosive functional groups were successfully prepared by direct oxidation in the stainless steel(SS) surface
respectively. The microcomic structure, morphology and anti-corrosive performance of the redoped Ppy were characterized by Cyclic voltammetry(CV), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Polarization curves(PC) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and compared with a doped and undoped Ppy, and their anti-corrosion mechanism were investigated theoretically. The results show that, the stainless steel surface covered with redoped and doped Ppy composites had good anti-corrosive performance, the redoped Ppy composites had the best. The corrosion potential of the redoped Ppy composite was increased by about 0.989V and the corrosion current is reduced by about 2 orders of magnitude to pure Ppy. The dense membrane structure of the redoped Ppy significantly increased, membrane defects significantly reduced, the best corrosion resistance, so it has a better anti-corrosion behavior..
