Electrical and barrier properties of modified polyaniline coating films and its effects on the corrosion protection of mild steel / Amirah Amalina Ahmad Tarmizi

The study investigated the coating properties of polyaniline (PANI), polyaniline with nano silica (PANI nSi) and polyaniline with 3-amino silane modified nano silica (PANI 3-APS modified nano silica). Investigation were carried out on the effects of nano silica and amino-silane modified nano silica...
