Modified Curcumin Eco-Friendly Coating: A pH-Sensitive Approach toEnhanced Anti-Corrosion Performance

In this study, curcumin (CUR), a natural antibacterial and anti-corrosion material, was modified andutilized as a crosslinker and smart anti-corrosion agent to create an eco-friendly anticorrosion coatingwith exceptional protective performance. To achieve this goal, CUR molecules underwent severalsteps of modification to produce pH-sensitive acrylated molecules. These acrylated molecules werethen involved in the UV-induced polymerization reaction with acrylated soybean resin. FTIRanalysis confirmed the acylated structure of the prepared modified molecules. Additionally,electrochemical analyses demonstrated that the synthesized anti-corrosive molecules significantlyenhanced the corrosion protection of the coatings. The findings of this work hold great promise foradvancing the development of eco-friendly coatings with exceptional anti-corrosive properties. Byleveraging curcumin as a crosslinker and pH-sensitive acrylated molecules, these coatings could offersustainable and effective corrosion protection.
