The film was created after simpleimmersion of the samples in a specially formulated emulsion of polyacrylic and polypyrrole polymers. The synthesis conditions were studied, as well as the resultingcorrosion resistance of coated magnesium foils (AZ31) in terms of corrosion rate in neutral aqueous NaCl solutions. The relative ratio of polyacrylic polymer topolypyrrole was found to be important for the film properties. Furthermore, only in situ polymerisation of pyrrole in the polyacrylic emulsion can provide advancedcorrosion proper-ties in relatively thin films (2-5 mum). Blending of polypyrrole powder with the polyacrylic emulsion gives rise to thick films (20 mum) with reducedcorrosion-inhibition properties. The corrosion rate was only weakly dependent on the film thickness of these novel coatings. We argue that the mechanism of corrosioninhibition is related to the formation of a thin passive layer of chemisorbed polypyrrole polymers or oligomers on the native magnesium oxide of the C surface. Thestructure is further stabilised by polyacrylic polymer chains interacting as dopants of polypyrrole. The method is environmentally friendly: non-toxic chemicals are used,no rinsing is required, etc. The advanced corrosion-inhibition properties of the films. as well as the simple application process on the metal surface, provide significantpotential for the industrial application of the method.}, language = {en} } @misc{MuellerHenkelMikaloetal., author = {M{\"u}ller, Klaus and Henkel, Karsten and Mikalo, Ricardo Pablo and Paloumpa, Ioanna and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Elektronik mit organischen Materialien}, publisher = {BTU Cottbus, Eigenverlag}, abstract = {Plastikelektronik, flexible Solarzellen, intelligente Kleidung, neuartige und maßgeschneiderte Transducer f{\"u}r die Gas-, Fl{\"u}ssigkeits- und Biosensorik, all dies sind Anwendungen, die ohne halbleitende Polymere nicht denkbar w{\"a}ren und die Bereiche erschließen, in denen zur Zeit eine regelrechte Goldgr{\"a}berstimmung herrscht.

For the investigation of the structure and the corrosion mechanism of the composite corrosion resistant layer we use a photo-electron emission microscope (PEEM). PEEM is especially suitable because it can deliver topographic contrast as well as elemental contrast and chemical information in connection with a variable X-ray source. Additionally, in order to investigate further the corrosion mechanism, but also the role of the alloy in the corrosion process, we examine the aluminium samples with SEM/EDX.
