Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The peculiarities of the metallographic structure of electrodeposited nanocomposite polymeric modified Zn and Zn-Co (1 wt.%) alloy coatings are described and discussed. These coatings are obtained from usual electrochemical baths for Zn and Zn-Co alloys, but with the addition of stabilized polymeric micelles (SPM). The latter are of core-shell type, and are based on polypropylene oxide (hydrophobic core) and polyethylene oxide (hydrophilic shell). These coatings and their polymeric modified nano-composites are investigated with X-ray (XRD) method, which reveals changes in the metallographic structure as a result of the presence or absence of organic additives (wetting agent and brightener) and SPMs. The possible reasons for the changes observed are commented. In addition, cyclic voltammetry method (CVA) is applied in order to clarify the influence of the applied additives and of SPM on the cathodic (deposition) and anodic (dissolution) processes.
