| Summary: | Nylon-6,6 exhibits chemical, thermal and mechanical properties which include resistance to chemical attack, electrical insulating properties and degradation resistance. As a possible container, it can be used to manufacture a new family of active hybrid materials, coatings and corrosion inhibitor-containing systems. The release of encapsulated corrosion inhibitors is triggered by the corrosion process itself, which prevents the spontaneous leakage of such inhibitor and provides a quick response to changes in the service environment. With this in mind, nylon-6,6 pellets were activated using either γ-irradiation or chemical attack in alkaline solution. Better pore formation was achieved employing the latter method, with such pores being filled with adsorbed ferric nitrates. Electrochemical tests were undertaken to demonstrate the performance of the “ smart ” nature of the corrosion inhibitor system formed. |
