Application of Electrophoretic Deposition as an Advanced Technique of Inhibited Polymer Films Formation on Metals from Environmentally Safe Aqueous Solutions of Inhibited Formulations.

The presented paper analyzes polymer films formed from aqueous solutions of organosilanes, corrosion inhibitors and their compositions. Methods of depositing inhibited films on metal samples, such as dipping and exposure of the sample in a modifying solution, as well as an alternative method, electrophoretic deposition (EPD), are discussed. Information is provided on the history of the EPD method, its essence, production process, areas of application of this technology, advantages over existing analogues, as well as its varieties. The article considers the promise of using the EPD method to form protective inhibited polymer films on metal surfaces from aqueous solutions of inhibitor formulations consisting of molecules of organosilanes and corrosion inhibitors.
