 MARINE CORROSION PROBLEMS

• Total cost of marine corrosion worldwide is

between $50-80 billion every year

 MARINE COATINGS
• Marine coatings-protect materials from corrosion and
abbrasion

• A ship's hull coating system consist of a primer,anti-

fouling coat,and top coat

 • Tributlyin (TBT) prevent the
growth of algae,barnacles
and other marine organism

•  Causes disruption of
killing mechanism of TBT based antifouling endocrine system of marine
through their toxic effect

 Nanocoatings
• Nanocoating- a thin films that applied to the surface and
layers to achieve vast range of functionalities

• Superhydrophobic-repelling water to the degree that

water droplet cannot be flatten but roll instead

 IMMERSION TEST

• Both of the anti fouling marine paint and nanocoating were scratch a line by
using a knife and then immersed in 5% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution for 24
hours.

• Anti fouling marine paint started to burst some colour out.

問題和答案

◎ 為什麼納米塗層可以克服這個問題？
這種納米塗層可以克服這個問題，因為它由納米顆粒組成，可以在嚴酷的微生物條
件下減少金屬腐蝕，並且在氧化鋅的存在下，它能夠提高環氧塗層的防腐性能，並
提高阻塞和腐蝕抑制性能
◎ 為什麼在納米塗層中使用 ZnO ？
ZnO 被用作納米顆粒，這是因為基於 Zn 的保護機制屬於 galvanic 效應之一，其
中它被氧氣犧牲腐蝕並充當良好的腐蝕產物，因此這提供了類似於屏障效應的保護
◎ 在對海洋生物有害的防污船用塗料中，環氧樹脂是使用的材料之一。但作者使
用相同的材料進行納米塗層。請解釋一下。
​
其實之前已經提到，作者會添加一種硬化劑，將其與溶液中的環氧樹脂混合在一
起，以形成強粘性和耐久的飾面。因此，這種環氧樹脂溶液不會對海洋生物有害。
需要明確的是，在防污船用塗料中，他們使用三丁基錫 (TBT) ，這是其中的有毒物
質，在本研究中不會使用。

功課

1.Could you provide the other two example of ZnO

nanocoating application?
◎ Household objects.
Items made out of ceramic or glass apply to this coating in order to reduce
thermal expansion so that a plate, mug or similar object will not crack as
easily when exposed to high temperatures. It could also be used in pottery as
protective glaze and objects made out of plastic may be given a zinc oxide
coating to improve the object's tensile strength, heat resistance, and
resistance to weather and sunlight.

16
◎ Coating in steel
Zinc Oxide used as anti corrosive,protective layer of steel
materials,machinery and equipment it’s synthesized and specially used for
galvanized iron,Metal objects or structures often have a zinc oxide coating.
Steel benefits from this as the coating can last for a very long time,
protecting it from exterior conditions ,this zinc oxide coatings can also be
used on steel that is in underwater environment.
Example:hot dip galvanized steel pipe with zinc layer coating can last for a
long time.
