Electrosynthesis of metal-containing polymeric coatings based on 1-vinylimidazole and acrylamide

详细

Possibility of electrochemical formation of metal-polymeric nanocomposites and coatings on purely iron and steel electrodes by combining the electrochemically initiated (co)polymerization of 1-vinylimidazole and acrylamide with the cathodic deposition of metals was studied. Polymeric coatings were formed by the method of contact exchange of metals. The structure and selected properties of metal-polymeric coatings were examined. It was found that silver nanoparticles are uniformly distributed in the polymeric matrix. A thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the metal-polymers synthesized possess a high thermal stability.
