Spring 2017 – Synthetic polymeric antioxidants for corrosion protection

Affiliations:
Project Leader: Hanna Hlushko
hanna.hlushko@tamu.edu
Materials Science and Engineering
Faculty Mentor: Svetlana Sukhishvili, Ph.D.
Meeting Times:
Spring 2017: W 4pm-7pm, F 3pm-6pm
Team Size:
3 (Team Full)
Open Spots: 0
Special Opportunities:
Earning co-authorship, becoming a full member of our research group, developing of professional skills and abilities.
Team Needs:
Responsibility, accountability, maturity, general chemistry knowledge, ability to work in a team.
Description:
This topic will include studies of physical and chemical properties of antioxidant polymers which have been synthesized in our lab and the development of polymeric coatings based on these polymers. In particular, the project will include learning a range of polymer characterization techniques (TLC, UV-vis, FTIR), studies of thermal properties of polymers (such as glass transition temperature), and measurements of polymer coatings properties (contact angle, roughness, adhesion of the coating to the surface). Finally, an epoxy-based coating that contains these novel antioxidant polymers will be developed, and coatings will be prepared for electrochemical testing of their anticorrosion efficiency.
