TY - CONF A1 - Misra, Archismita T1 - Polyoxometalate Ionic Liquids (POMILs) as Protective Coatings for Cultural Heritage Against Acid Corrosion and Biodeterioration N2 - Corrosion of stone by acid rain anddeterioration from microbial biofilms are challenges worldwide present forindustrial or residential buildings as wellas cultural heritage, like statues orhistoric buildings. One option is the useof thin transparent films ofpolyoxometalate-based ionic liquids(POM-ILs). Stone samples were coatedwith hydrophobic, acid resistant POM-ILs which also have biocidal properties.1Exposure of the samples to simulatedacid rain showed negligible corrosioncompared to the significant deteriorationof unprotected samples (Fig 1. Left). Inaddition, the biocidal properties of thePOM-ILs suppress the formation ofbiofilms on coated stone slabs. Thecoating is mechanically stable and is notremoved even by harsh mechanical andchemical treatment. Following studiessuccessfully explored the effectiveness ofthe coating against lampenflora growingin the Pommery Champagne cellar 2 (Fig1. Right); and the long-termperformance of POM-ILs under outdoorenvironmental conditions 3. So, POM-ILs are already proven to possessremarkable anticorrosion andantimicrobial properties against aerobicmicroorganisms and being water-insoluble, they don’t get leached intoaquatic ecosystem, which is extremelybeneficial from an environmentalsustainability and toxicological point ofview. The current project aims tocontinue the journey on protecting thecultural heritage, shifting focus fromstones to metals and employ functionalPOM-IL nanocoatings to prevent MIC(Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion)of cultural heritage artefacts made ofmetal or metal alloy like carbon steel,brass, cast iron or bronze. Performanceof both the coating materials and coatingtechniques via optimization of theadhesion of the nanocoating on themetallic surface on the corrosion rateand corrosion products in the MICcaused by anaerobic microorganismslike methanogenic archaea or SulphateReducing Bacteria (SRB) would betested. The objective would be toestablish POM-ILs as efficientenvironmentally sustainablenanocoating materials againstbiocorrosion citing the already publishedsuccess stories; and sketch the ongoingendeavours and prospects of these veryefficient candidates in the context ofbiocorrosion T2 - International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation Symposium CY - Berlin, Germany DA - 09.09.2024 KW - Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) KW - Polyoxometalate Ionic Liquid KW - Nanocoating KW - Cultural heritage PY - 2024 AN - OPUS4-64576 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Misra, Archismita T1 - Polyoxometalate Ionic Liquids as Protective Coatings for Industrial Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage against Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) N2 - Corrosion of stone and metal due to acid rain and biodeterioration poses significant challenges for industrial and residential infrastructure, as well as cultural heritage, including statues and historical artefacts. A promising mitigation strategy involves thin, transparent films of polyoxometalate-based ionic liquids (POM-ILs) as chemical shields. Stone samples coated with acid-resistant, biocidal POM-ILs exhibited negligible corrosion when exposed to simulated acid rain, in stark contrast to the severe deterioration of unprotected samples. Additionally, their biocidal properties effectively prevent biofilm formation on coated surfaces. Following studies successfully explored the effectiveness of the coating against lampenflora growing in the Pommery Champagne cellar; and the long-term performance of POM-ILs under outdoor environmental conditions. So, POM-ILs have already demonstrated remarkable anticorrosion and antimicrobial properties against aerobic microorganisms and, being water-insoluble, do not leach into aquatic ecosystem. The current research project repurposes the POM-ILs, extending their application to metals, specifically targeting microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) in cultural heritage artefacts made of brass, carbon steel, cast iron, and bronze. This involves optimizing nanocoating adhesion to the metal surface and evaluating its protective efficacy against MIC caused by anaerobic microorganisms such as methanogenic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). This presentation will highlight POM-ILs as sustainable, high-performance nanocoatings for biocorrosion mitigation. It will showcase published success stories, discuss ongoing research and proof-of-concept results, and explore future prospects for these advanced materials in safeguarding metal infrastructure and artefacts across different industrial sectors as well as in the context of cultural heritage conservation.

Hauptnutzen ist eine gegenüber der natürlichen Beanspruchung erhöhte Reproduzierbarkeit der Umweltbedingungen. Hat man sein Laborsetup entwickelt, ist es auf verschiedene Materialien anwendbar. Unter solchen Laborbedingungen ermittelte Lebensdauern sind dabei nicht auf die typischerweise sehr variablen Real-Umweltbedingungen übertragbar. (ii) Parametrisierter Ansatz - Ermittlung einzelner Materialempfindlichkeiten Hierbei werden im Labor die Wirkungen separater Umweltparameter auf Materialien nachgestellt. Für eine solche Separation der Einflussfaktoren ist insbesondere die Aufschlüsselung möglicher Wechselwirkungen der Umwelt-parameter (z.B. Mikroklima an bestrahlten Oberflächen) erforderlich. Einzelne (meist Alterungs-) Empfindlichkeiten können qualitativ nachgewiesen werden oder sogar – als Beanspruchungs-Wirkungs-Funktionen – quantifiziert werden, was einen wesentlichen Schritt in Richtung der Digitalisierung der Material¬prüfung darstellt. Insbesondere ist dann auch eine Lebensdauer-vorhersage für vorgegebene Zeitreihen der Beanspruchungs¬parameter umsetzbar. (iii) Rückwirkungen auf die Umwelt Umweltbeanspruchungen können zur Freisetzung von Schadstoffen in die Umwelt führen. Durch die Nachstellung kritischer, aber realitätsnaher Einsatzszenarien kann die Menge an freigesetzten Substanzen abgeschätzt werden. Egal, welcher Ansatz verfolgt wird – ein Vergleich mit der oder einer Real-beanspruchung ist unerlässlich, ebenso wie die Messdatenaufzeichnung (data logging) aller potenziell relevanten Beanspruchungsparameter während dieser Realbeanspruchung. Obwohl die naturnahe Umwelt – sowohl in der BAM als auch bei der GUS – gegenüber der technischen Umwelt eher untergeordnet auftritt, werden zur Illustration Beispiele aus der naturnahen Umwelt verwendet.
